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

Is my math correct?

4 Phones x $70 each for the tax, $280
4 lines $140*3 months $420
4 IPhones 7, $600

Total cost is $1300/4 $350

Or,
2 phones x $70 tax, $140
2 lines $140*3 mo $420
2 Iphones 7, $300

Total cost, $860/2 $430 each

Can it be better? TIA

I have 2 lines and I'm suppose to just buy 1 apple 11 128gb phone/line but tmobile in Costco has a promo right now that the 4th line will be free. I upgraded both of our phones and basically just got another phone for less than $50! For 4 lines, I will be paying for 3 lines only. It will be around $140 for the magenta plan.

fyi: if you have an apple6 or any other phone to give. they also have another promo the byod (bring your own device) that they give $165 Costco gift card if you will open your 4th line. Pretty much they will buy your junk phone for $165

I thought you can get the iPhone delivered and still qualify for the promo.
This has to be among the top10 worse posts.

As posted 100's of times. If you order a phone, it is 24 months.

I saw the little crack in the corner comment on the wiki. I have a 7 plus with a slight nudge (not crack) at the bottom corner. Anyone has any inputs on how the return process works and if its worth the gamble?

I think this SDer is referencing the Costco T-Mobile BYOD deal where you get a Costco gc for opening a new line for T-Mobile and bringing your own device. She's equating the gc as Costco "buying" your phone without really buying it.

If you're trading in an iphone 6s and porting your number (currently on Visible), when you walk out of the store...I realize you have the new iphone (and your old iphone the we have to mail back in), but where does the porting occur? Do they do that at the Costco Kiosk, or do you have to do that yourself online or at a Tmo store?
