Jeez...

-Simple Choice is NOT eligible. No, your account isn't special. It won't work. You have to change plans

-If you don't walk out of the store w/ the new Iphone in your hand, you will get bill credits. Which means you are stuck for 2 years and the extra you're paying for the line lessens this deal.

-Deal is $500 rebate for 6s phones, $700 for iPhone 7 and beyond. If you have an iPhone 6 or lower, you're getting no rebate. End of story. There are no loopholes or "what ifs".

-Phone screen can't be cracked. Not a "what about a little crack in the corner" comment. It will be rejected. Same goes for "what about a home button not working." Try it, but don't be surprised when it gets rejected. It's your $700 gamble. Stop asking if it will work.

-If your screen is cracked, get it fixed by a 3rd party place before sending in. It's typically less than $100

-Phone can be unlocked after 40 days w/ a request to Tmobile, and then used with any wireless service.

-Can't cancel line until you get your rebate; then go ahead and cancel or port out. Rebate takes 2-3 months to get

-Phone supports dual sim, so put your current ph# on the Esim (just go to a Tmobile store and ask) and the sim card with your new # in the phone. Yes, you can now have 2 numbers on new iPhones. Then you don't risk the phone # not being active while waiting for the rebate.

-If you want a cheap iPhone 7, look on the internet. Don't be lazy. Otherwise try a boost mobile store and read the "instore promo" offers on their website. Some are shady, so ask everything they're charging you for.

-Lastly, don't trust the Costco wireless reps. Hundreds of people here have done this and similar deals. They know better than any rep you will meet, as they've all done these deals.
Please make sure that you buy the phone outright, meaning limited colors and storage options.

My local store didn't have the iPhone 11 in stock and I was told I'd still get the GC rebate. After reading all the paperwork, when I got home, this isn't the case. Had to go back to cancel the line and wait for the phone shipment to arrive to go back and return that (which you have to mail yourself with the label provided). 2 weeks later, EIP is still on my account.
You are talking CRAP.....stop telling untruths.

This is ABSOLUTELY wrong

ANY listed phone, ANY carrier.....as long as its in good condition and not icloud locked

Because this is a T-MOBILE deal. I've done this deal four times before. If the phone isn't under T-Mobile service, it's not going to work.

What is the cheapest plan to get a new line for?

Am I correct in assuming you could get the cheapest new plan for x months until you receive the mastercard, and then cancel the new line?

Are you referring the to trade in phone? Couldn't we just trade in any iPhone 7 from any network as long it is in good condition and cracked screen? Why would they need the SIM or any other account info for the trade in phone?
IGNORE that guy...he is TOTALLY wrong

It has to work with your T-Mobile service. If that means it has to be unlocked to work with it, yes. When they trade-in your phone, they need to see that your SIM is connected to it so they can verify that it is your account.
This isn't correct. For the trade in phone, all they need at the Costco Wireless Kiosk is your phone's IMEI. It's YMMV of whether or not you even need to physically bring your trade in phone to the store. Some kiosk reps will just ask for IMEI without needing to see the actual phone. They verify your existing account by asking for last 4 of social and T-Mobile PIN.

where did you find this information.

I have done this twice. They can be locked to a carrier, but must not be iCloud locked. They do not care if there is a sim card in it or what account it is on. One of mine was a purchase online.

TOTALLY WRONG. And of course illogical.

They are offering this deal for one reason - getting new customers and lines. Which of course means you are coming from another carrier. This is not valid for a current line/phone on Tmobile.

Is this new line activations or activating at the store itself? I'm thinking of trading in my iPhone XR for the 11 but don't want to add a line.

From the deal terms "new line activation"

Quote from ZUKHAN :
OP needs to edit this thread. It's $700 for 6s and up. There is nowhere it mentions iPhone 6 or even $500. Also where does it mention that simplechoice plans are excluded? Maybe it's time for us loyal customers to dump TMobile.
Those are the terms on the deal from TMobile directly. Probably OP has copied it from that post or thinks it will be the same because that is how its generally been.
The only difference between Costco and TMobile direct deals is gift card instead of credits, $50 less price of device and no activation/ assistance fee.
