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

I was able to trade in a Total Wireless iPhone 6s on the last promo. It's fine if the phone is carrier locked, so long as it's in good condition, you disable Find My iPhone, and sign out of your iCloud.
thanks

I created a T-mobile account for the $580 deal. Added 4 lines, which was the limit on the promo. Can I add 4 new lines, with iPhone 7 trade-in to get this deal? I'm planning to cancel all the lines after unlock and receiving the vGC. Thanks!
Yes, it should be a different promo code.
Now, if there is a limit to 1 or 4, I'm not sure. I can't see the terms so clearly.

The issue will be that you will be paying about 1-2 months extra since you have to wait for the new rebate cards.

Is it possible to retrieve the previous thread? Or at least the Wiki? Answers so many questions.

One thing I just noticed that I didnt see last time was that the credit is a virtual card and expires in 6mos. Thats a significant factor. How difficult is this to set up to use with Apple Pay or Venmo?

But would Tmobile allow me to get the $700 rebate instead of $580?

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.
What is your source for this info?

I ask because it completely contradicts the many folks who've posted successful trade-ins of locked-to-other-carrier iphone 6s's.

When the lone voice claims something different, the onus is on them to explain why.

the Apple Pay loophole closed several months back.
Some people have had success with Venmo.

sharsch31Is 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.
These promotions are one reason, and one reason only.

To get new lines of service.

Also helps to read the rules of the promotion.

Why?

Because you are looking for all kinds of things that can go sidewise. Try it at your own risk.​
