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 personally have not heard of phones being rejected in past tmobile/costco threads due to not being unlocked.

I have sent out locked phones from simple mobile, cricket, and boost and got my rebates.
This time around for this $700 deal, I shipped out 2 iPhone 7's boost

I'll let you know how it goes.
Just wondering when you got the iphone 7 from boost, did you get the $50 iphone 7 deal with the $50 plan, did you have to port in your current number? After trading in the phone to T-mobile, can I just stop making future payments to boost and it will auto cancel my line since it's pre-paid?

I bought iphone 7 at Boost store with 1 month service.

what's the easiest way to port out of Boost mobile?

Ting sim $1 sold out at Best buy. Does Cricket sim work?

Thank you !
Is Costco not able to port it out for you when you sign up for T-mobile?

Did you activate the locked iPhones (simple, cricket and boost) before trading them in ? meaning like paid for a plan or used airtime card and activated them on a number before trade in?

I just got this deal yesterday. Can I use my old number on the new iphone 11? Costco rep said the new sim need to be used for 2 months to get the rebate ?

Yea please cuz I'm trying to do this but then some twitter guy said TODAY in dm it might be too late to do this. EVEN tho it says on the new ad it's been extended. So debating if I should try tomorrow. No point if rebate doesn't count and yes I saw and just mentioned it changed to 5th.

I think he meant 70 for single line X 6 months because some people said that they might charge u back of virtual card if u cancel. You probably can use the card but you will never know for sure if they'll hit you with the 700 charge back for cancel in 2 months. 3 months if rebate takes a while. AND that's assuming they don't lose your trade

boost was direct from boost site, no activation needed, they were used.
cricket was brand new, I ported a number in order to get the cricket price
simple mobile was pre owned as well

I gave up trying to find any in stock. None around me had anything other than 64gb purple. I need at least 128gb. I just ended up going straight to T-Mobile and getting the bill credits.
