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

Good luck. They tell you it is required...(even though it is not)

If they say this (which most do), you have no choice other than walk out empty handed or pay that extra price.

Phone should have no physical damage and should light up when powered on. It should also be cloud unlocked. Doesn't matter if refurbished or not.

Your best options for metro or boost are to find the corporate store.

Can i do this in store?
4 iphone 7s for 50$ each, 200$ total
port in 4 numbers to a 3GB/line plan costing 120$ total
4 phones would cost : 320 plus port in numbers cost
I'm not sure how you got Activation fee waived (i'm not even sure if there is one)
Also can i use port in numbers from Ebay?

Thanks Smilie
You check Boost store... it is bogo switch 1 and get 1 iphone 7 on 2 plans.. I am sure you can get 4 mobile... Because i saw some where this is 1 per account.. I tried port in 1 number that didnt work and had to port another number as they have minimum requirement... Please reach out to boost mobile to ask your queustion.

I have a iphone 8 leased with sprint right now. The lease is ending like in a week and it will cost $150 to own it. It's good condition and I'm debating if i should take the risk to pay $150 for the phone and trade in to get iphone 11 for free essentially. I'm planning to switch out from Sprint anyways

Anyone can comment do they really give $700 credit if it's good condition? I don't like how they say "up to $700" and it doesn't make sense iphone 7 would have same trade-in value as iPhone XS Max assuming both are good condition.

The phone definitely has to be free of balance when they check the phone. As long as you take care of it well in advance, you're good

Then don't do it. Or, read some of the 80+ pages that explain everything. After about the first 3 pages you'll probably get most of the answers

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.
Please don't spread false information. The phone you are trading in does not have to be unlocked and does not have to necessarily work with T Mobile. All it has to be is the correct model that is in good condition and iCloud unlocked.
