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

The Costco Rep that served us was quite new at Wireless Advocates. Been searching for the link to submit the rebate as well as the code. Looked through the papers we got but no mention of the online rebate submission instructions. I would appreciate if someone can send me the link + code needed. Thanks! ​worship

My kid is using an iPhone 6s on Sprint BOYD (ends in Jan 2020) far away from home. Could I give Costco the IMEI of this 6s, and wait 20 days (when he gets back for Xmas break) to mail it to Tmobile for trade-in, assuming he can still use the 6s on Sprint for the 20days? I know this will delay the Rebate by 20days (therefore could potentially spend one extra month on Tmobile's $70/month single line plan). I am also concerned whether Tmobile will take over the IMEI and void our Sprint service. Anyone has experience on this?
Nope, I believe you have 30 days to trade in your phone and they won't void it.

If you are planning to continue on Sprint with any other cheaper plan Sprint has the $0/mo for iPhone 11 with trade in coming up on black Friday both in best buy as well as Sprint. Not 100% sure, someone else posted this in SD.

so you don't have to pay 3 months of service on tmob.

i am so confused.

i already have tmobile. i have an iphone x.

my wife has an iphone 7 that we were trying to sell on ebay as she no longer uses it.

if i want to get the iphone 11 pro 256gb - what do i need to do?

open a new line trading in the iphone 7, pay for the new line for 2-3 months and then cancel it and swap the new 11 with my X and sell my X online?

Is it possibly to sign up for this plan today, purchase the phone now, but port over my number on a later date?
Yes you can just call customer care I think you have 14 days if I'm not mistaken

Once you got the rebate, can you return the phone to Costco and get refund?

I did this similar deal last year under a family member's account. I did need the SSN and pin of the account holder. I also used a different family member's Costco membership but they were with me at the time of purchase.
Thanks, I went back to the store an hour later, and my name was finally next up from the list, lol.
I was able to add two lines/phones with trade in with only my phone# and the pin. Didn't need the SSN in my case for the family member owner.

so my price would be:

iPhone 11 Pro 256GB - $1,049.99
+ Tmobile 3 months payment @35/mo - $95
-iPhone 7 128gb trade in of $700

= Total for iPhone 11 Pro 256gb = 444?

currently, i am on tmobile one plan and have two lines at $60/mo and another two lines at $20/mo for a total of $160 per four lines - how much will the line be per month? is it just $20 bucks?i estimated at 35/mo above but not sure if that is accurate or not.

Stop misusing the offers like this. It's because of people like you why they are making it difficult with each new deal coming up.

You have to provide the IMEI for the trade in at the time of activation of new phone at the kiosk.Some reps don't even process the trade in without seeing the trade in phone and validating the IMEI
