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

Hoping someone can set my mind at ease a little bit. We did this deal but the new iPhone is not being used with the new number. It is currently actively being used on one of our already-established Tmobile lines.
The new sim/number though was used for about a week on another android phone.

Anyone know if this will cause any issues with the rebate?

For those who have mailed out the trade-in phones, what kind of package did you use for mailing?is a standard yellow envelop with bubble inside enough? or a box? can i put the iphone directly in the envelop without original iphone box?

It clearly states on the ad at Costco which plans are eligible for this deal and Simple Choice is not one of them. Wireless Advocates reps are not the ones who process these rebates, do not believe the words out of their mouths unless you have it written on your contract.
After seeing the photos of the promotion that people took at the store, I completely agree.

Sorry if it's answered somewhere or silly question: If I am adding 2 friends to my T-Mobile plan ( am the Costco member ), do my friends need to be present when am buying the phone ?
The phone acct is in your name.
The phone purchase is in your name.
Everything is in YOUR NAME - so no problem.

Same as if you were doing it for your kids.​

I heard few got bought the phone without trade in phone /IMEI/trade in quote. The rep said buy the phone outright and add the line then comeback later for trade in paperwork. Can someone confirm if they had done this earlier ?
No way in hell would I do this. Should work, but... I would not trust it

Both times I did it, the Costco employee carried the phone to the Kiosk which seems silly since I just PAID for it.

Never heard of a T4B plan. But the plans are listed in the promo.

I want to add myself to my friend's Tmobile account to reduce the monthly cost but he is living in a different state. Would I be able to buy the phone at my local costco and add my line to his account in some way? I appreciate any suggestion.

Some sinple logic. Once you wrap if, are you comfortable throwing it across the room?

YOU have to be authorized to make changes to his account - but sure.

Actually just bought my S10 from Costco, no new line required, no trade in (my screen is shattered on my old phone) $419 +tax out the door was about $60 cheaper than amazon after 20% off sale and 100$ new card credit. Although I'm a little conflicted because the note was only $469 but I really want an Aux jack which I use fairly regularly.
you mean unlocked phone??

I got an Iphone 11 pro and when tried to submit the entry on the website The device IMEI entered is not eligible for this promotion. Called the customer support and they mentioned we are trying to fix the issue, if this continues for 2 weeks, call us back and we will have other way of submission. I am not sure if this is kind of a tmobile way of delaying the cancellation and should I hold off shipping my old phone for trade. I asked them and they send, please send your old phone asap even if i have 30 days to send my trade in
