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

I'm assuming you'll also have to activate it on Boost first? Looks like their cheapest plan is $35
No, that is pre owned price. Pre owned is a one time fee, no monthly payment plan needed. The risk is that you get a damaged iPhone 7. Has happened to a few people here on sd.

If you go in the store, you get the iPhone 7 for $50 plus whatever month plan you get plus whatever extra fees those shady boost reps want to add on to your bill.

Will they accept and iPhone 7 Plus that has a crack on very edge of the screen. Everything works fine and there is no other damages. With a case on the crack isn't even visible so it's at very edge of the screen. And does anybody now how much they would dock for such damage.

did you ask the rep "when can I cancel" or did the rep just randomly say you have to keep the line open for 12 months?

let us know how it turns out for you.
They should not accept it because one of the questions is if the lcd is cracked or in good shape.
I am assuming the whole front is part of the 'lcd'

I am still facing the issue while trying to register for the promotion.
"The device IMEI entered is not eligible for this promotion, please re-enter or contact 1-877-470-3619 for details."
I purchased yesterday around 11 AM Pacific. Anyone else facing the same issue?
I just tried to enter my info and received same error message. I assume it is due to costco not notifying tmobile about the sale. I would give it 24h and before trying again

$130 + tax Ordered this one with 10%cb, should get it on Tuesday!!
Not sure if you won't activate your iPhone on Boost then the Phone activation is not completed. Then it will cause issue while checking the IMEI or not because phone not activated on Boost Network.

No, they won't accept it and you won't get any credit / rebate in such case, moreover you'll end up losing this phone as well. The trade in devices are salvaged for parts and the lcd/glass is one of the needed parts as per trade in criteria.

no need to cancel, boost is prepaid. You simply let the account die.

You can port the number out to another prepaid company if that makes you feel more confident that you won't get 'billed'
How can I unlock boost ip7 if I want to use it after first recharge?
Any ways to unlock
