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

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
I'm gone for the around 8 hours to do some work around the house and wow the amount of questions in this thread are worse than the $580 thread LMAO
Thank you for holding it down while I was away LOL

With this deal and the previous $580 rebate from before should we expect something even more on actual Black Friday day and thereafter?

I have the option to buy off for $230 right now..

Also, I see on tmobile website said "Get iPhone 11 On Us when you switch & trade eligible iPhone". I don't see an end date for that promotion.
you still have $230 due on an iPhone 8? wow. vomit
How much was the full retail price of that phone?
Buy a cheap iPhone 7 for around $100 and hope you can sell that 8 when you finish paying it off for at least $200-250

I personally think so.

It ends on Wednesday, leaves room for a Black Friday promo.

Maybe a $750 gc. Maybe they allow the 6s to get the full rebate this time. Maybe they allow any rate plan tmobile customers such as simple choice

I'm just thinking/hoping out loud here.

this deal is a steal!
I personally currently have an iPhone X and the battery is starting to crap out. It will be 2 years since I had it this December.

I had to settle for an iPhone 11 pro 64gb.
I have to delete a bunch of pictures and apps that I don't use in order to be able to use the 11 pro.

Sucks but this deal is too good to pass up.

Thanks. So how to unlock icloud/password lock?
ummm
put your iCloud and password?
Or did you purchase this used and they didn't remove it?
If they didn't remove it, call them and ask them for it. But they will not give you that info so you are out of luck. Sorry champ.

You must add a new line.

Reading is very valuable.​

The numbers are right except for the tax (it's typically on the $50, not the full price). And the accessories thing is BS
I was charged tax on $450

I have some questions and trying to figure out if this is a good deal for my situation

1) I have an unlocked iphone 6s, seems like this deal gives only $500 compared to $580 until 11/20. So for iphone 6S this is not the best deal right?

2) can i take advantage of this offer as a brand new T mobile customer (no port in etc).
IMO, it's still a good deal. $500 for iPhone 6s is not bad.

Sign out of iCloud and turn off 'find my iphone' then erase the passcode.

Easier and recommended... erase all settings and reset
How to efficiently erase pass codes/data?

I had the same issue and my previous rebate ($580) was also denied so I called the customer service. They said their system is having issues with Costco rebate and asked me to try again after 72 hours.
