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

Rep here at Azusa, CA is very helpful...bought 4 phones without giving single IMEI of trade in phones. She said we can give them info within the next 14 days but I heard it's always better to give the info before the promotion ends.

What is the cheapest plan for one line and how much does it cost after taxes and fee? Thanks in advance.
Cheapest is going to be:
1) Magenta for $75/month, or $70 if you set up autopay. That includes all fees and taxes.

2) Alternatively, the Essentials plan costs $65/month (or $60 with autopay) but does NOT include fees and taxes. So they weren't clear about exactly how much that comes out.

Costco folks recommended just sticking with Magenta because you know exactly how much you're paying at the end.

Definitely do the trade in paperwork before promo ends they might not be able to process it after

Thanks. Very Helpful. I guess with Magenta we can get Netflix free. Too bad they don't offer a corporate discount.

So if I open a new Tmobile account and sign up for just 1 line and get the 128GB iPhone 11 I'm calculating my cost of the phone to the following:

$740 (including tax)
$210 (3 months of Tmo service)
$140 (Cost of used iPhone 7)
-$680 Rebate
------------------
$410 net cost of phone after canceling line and getting it unlocked

Of course if the rebate comes by 2nd month then it would be $70 less so around $340. But I calculated at maximum time for rebate.

So bottom line is it worth to just get 1 line with this promo or open max 4 lines then?
is the rebate $680? or $700?

Rebate is maximum of $700 or price paid for phone, whichever is lower. In this case, the rebate would $680 since that is price of the phone pre-tax.

Do you know how low? I was planning to visit that exact location after work.
iPhone Pro availability was Black 256gb only and they don't seem too many. Gold 64 and 256gb. No other colors were available.
