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

Hi Guys, I tried going through the forum, but have a question about Boost. I just called the store and they said they have the iPhone 7, but I have to port in a number in order to get it for $50? I don't have any number to port in as I am already a t-mobile customer and have 9 lines, I was thinking of adding a line with iPhone 7 trade in from boost. help pelase

This doesn't make sense. Most of iPhone 7 32GB are appraised at $68, mine included.
I am not sure why..but it does say Iphone 7 32GB (Sprint) so maybe because it's sprint?

If you want to try to unlock the phones, otherwise trade away.
I bought a pre owned iPhone 7 from Boost mobile website. I didn't activate the phone yet. Is it OK to trade in ? Will Boost create any issue since I didn't activate the phone ?

Thanks

For those struggling to get 128 GB, Costco inventory may not be accurate especially in the morning as each store gets their new arrival at different time, the inventory system may not be updated in time. This happened to me, I have inventory checked for surrounding areas At a local store. Was told that the store with availability is ~60 miles away. Tried another store nearby, bingo they have it. Luckily, have 4 Costco in a radius of 6miles.

Don't see how they can. Just make sure it's reset to the setup screen and you can get the IMEI/serial number from that screen for trade in.

I went to Costco trying to get the deal this morning. But the representative only saw up to $400 instead of $700 in the system. Does t mobile change the deal? Shouldn't it be the last day of promotion today?

If you want the boost price for port in then you have to port in a number. Otherwise the price is probably $150 i guess. Maybe port in a google voice or get one from ebay? I ported in an xfinity mobile number to boost to get a used iphone 7.

which plan is 4 lines $103/mo? did you do it at a corporate store? mind sharing the location?
I think its 4 lines at $100/month. Is the $3 taxes? People abused the heck out of this one when apple had the trade in offer.

I was about to do that. But in their terms, it said that if you do not activate the phone/plan, they will charge you back the full price of the phone. Not sure anyone experienced that.
Where do you see the Terms? I didn't see anything in the website or the order confirmation email.

Probably not a sprint number, eh?

Please google it for better details. Basically need to unlock google number so google allows to port it out. I think that costs $3. Then need to set a pin on google voice settings. Btw when i ported my google voice number to xfinity about a year go, it took exactly 5 days the port to complete. Not sure how it will be with boost.
