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

Can i port my daughters phone number over within the 90 days at T-Mobile? Currently has a verizon number.

Want to buy now (new number) and give to her for Christmas. We would then port her number over after Christmas?

IMEI Issue: I just spoke with the customer care rep and she said it is a known issue for submission of rebate forms. They said the probable fix date might be next week 3rd. She said she would do a followup call next week and we will go from there.
I did ask her about what happens if i send in my trade and in and i wont receive my rebate due to incomplete submission of rebate. She said it a known issue and that should not affect the rebate.
As other users said, it goes individual to individual here of who can followup and has the time to go through.
If you call them tomorrow, they will give you a date for 4th. i am not sure if they will give rebate to everyone but they definitely want to delay the phone cancellation and keep the customer stick to them min 6-8 months. Their Sprint merger is due and need more subscribers to take the stock price up :-)

I do not think you will receive your rebates by then . Min 3 months you be on Tmobile to get the rebate card

I plan on staying with T Mobile. Cancelling her verizon and porting her number over to the new tmobile line.

Will that work?

Please note for your own sake:

YOU MUST ALSO WALK OUT OF THE STORE WITH A RETURN SHIPPING LABEL.

My rep messed up, after two different attempts and hours in the store, and did not process my trade correctly/did not give me a return label.

THERE'S NO WAY TO RETROACTIVELY GET ONE. Tmobile can't do it, Costco can't do it. If you walk out of there without one, you're screwed. You'll have to return the phone and also cancel the new line, which will make it so you can't do this again for 90 days.... sigh.

I'm in the same situation.
Does Costco accept return over 14 days?
I guess that I'll return the phones too in this case, the Costco employees are well under-trained, took me tons of hours and figured out nothing.

Can the kiosk person activate the phones in the name of a person who is not there? My brother wants to get this but there are no 11s in stock near him. I was wondering if I could buy them here and have them activated in his name if he texts his credentials such as driver's license, SS# etc to me and then send the phone to him.
Yes you can,
Have him add your name as an authorized user on his T-Mobile account, can be added online and provide you with his (account holders ) last 4 SSN. I've done this.

This deal has turned sour for me. Spent a lot of time researching here, buying 2 new iPhone 7's with service from Boost mobile as part of their promotion. And I'm now at my local Costco and they told me as soon as I walked up that they don't do the T-Mobile promotion here and the closest Costco that does is 1.5 hours away. They said they stopped doing this promotion at this store 2 years ago because of the people buying the phones and not keeping them on T-Mobile. This is in Raleigh NC so heads up if you're trying to use the stores here. If you have any advice other than driving to the othe rCostco please let me know. I have a health condition that makes driving that far difficult.
Are you able to trade in boost locked mobile? was there any issue?

Ned to know this. The new Boost phone I bought today shows up with an error through the Sprint IMEI checker. If it doesn't show up as paid off, will it still work for this deal?
hey were you able to trade in new boost iphone 7?

I am now with H2O and wife with TMO simple choice. We both are planning to open two new line (not port in). Since my wife is already existing tmo user, should opening a new line cause any problem with TMO? Appreciate if anybody did similar and respond. If it is a issue what might be a probable solution of this.
