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

Hey guys,
So, Apologizing in advance if this has already been answered but.....is there any way possible of trading in two iPhones (7 plus and 6 plus) that are already on Tmobile line and keeping the same numbers? Is that impossible or do any of you know a workaround? I know I can purchase numbers from certain individuals that have been live for 3 months, but I wanted to keep the same numbers while also trading in the phones. Does anyone know? Thanks!
what?
You already have a tmobile account, so you have to open up 3 new lines and trade in 3 devices that are eligible. iPhone 6s/6s Plus will give you $500. The higher models starting with the 7 will give you $700.

I have great peels on my TMobile one like kickback, 20% life & hotspots, will these get remove it I added new lines? I don't want to lose these perks, I don't expect these perks on the new lines but at least leave the existing ones untouched. TIA.
You will lose them. Those plans don't exist anymore, so new lines cannot be added under the same terms, and you cannot add a "mix" of lines under one account that fall under different plans and promos. I know, I tried it too. LOL.

As someone who has a 6s but wants to take advantage of the $700 rather than $500 back.. what's the downside of just getting an iphone 7 pre owned from boost for $130 (besides maybe not getting the phone in time)?

Never purchased from boost before..

Hello, I have a series of questions. I'm warning you, it'll be a little complicated. I have an iPhone 7 which is bought through T-mobile, works just fine but it has a 3rd party screen & battery. I only have a T-mobile Simply Prepaid plan. I don't have a Costco membership but I have a friend who has, he's willing to come and help but everything will be on my T-mobile account, is it possible? So is there any way that I can benefit from this deal with this phone and this account? Btw I'll be leaving the US in a week and most likely I'll not be back for a year so I have to cancel all my plans while abroad, is it possible? As far as I understand that up to $700 Virtual Express Prepaid MasterCard isn't a physical card, how do they send it and does it work in Europe? I really appreciate your help.

do you mean if I go to the corporate store, I may expect to pay far less than that?
That's been my experience. They might still try to screw you over in many cases, but because of more strict corporate rules, if you call them out on it, they will usually fall in line with the corporate policy, or risk running into trouble if you complain to corporate. Especially with things like sales tax. Corporate stores are held more accountable. Non-corporate stores are like buying from a druggie on the street..probably worse.

1. The time and hassle dealing with Boost, especially the local shady stores.
2. As you said, the risk of stock disappearing from Costco for the iphone you want if it takes too much time to get the iphone 7 to trade.

I have iphone 7 with a home button that acts weird time to time (it pushes it twice). Can this be traded in as well?

It sounds like I need to mail my iphone 7 after buying iphone 11 at full price. What happens if t-mboile reject my trade-in later?
