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

Your question doesn't make any sense.

Read the wiki. If you don't understand something read the wiki again. If you're still confused reread the wiki. Keep rereading the wiki until you're no longer confused. The wiki explains everything very clearly the fact that you're asking nonsense questions means you haven't read the wik
Hah, sure friend. I can try to make more sense. I read the wiki again; I don't see an answer to what I was asking. Closest is # 8, but I'm not talking about porting.

1. We currently have 2 lines, with T-Mobile.
2. So we have 2 phones, 7+'s, obv attached to those lines.
3. We'll have to trade in those 7+'s to get new 11's. Then we'll have 4 lines. But 2 phones.
4. Previous poster said Costco rep referred to having other phones to make this work(not just 2 phones for 4 lines).
5. Just curious if this is true. Before I drive a clip to a costco that has inventory.
6. Thanks!

I did the deal, but at a place that doesn't sell much T-Mobile at all. One thing I noticed is that the assurant slip says "accepted trade in offer $29", did that show up as $500-$700 for anyone else? Wondering if I need to pull the plug before I trade these in.
What do you mean by, that doesnt sell much at all? either they sell t-mobile phones or not...

PLEASE PLEASE read the wiki or even a few pages worth of posts.

You get a small trade in credit and rest in a card later.

Really... you are making a $700 purchase and you can not read?​

I am also looking for a procedure on how to return my 64gb for 128gb. Appreciate if anyone who has done a return and upgraded to more capacity to please share the procedure. What do we have to do without messing up the rebate?
Not sure why you did not buy the phone you wanted, but.... good luck.

You may or may not mess up the rebate.

The promotion, like just about everyone of them is for ADDING NEW LINES.

This promotion is not for giving an existing customer a free phone - or close to free.

Hah ok! Thanks for the engagement. Yeah, that's what i'm asking about. But - who mentioned free? Wiki talks about adding new lines for existing customers. Also about canceling lines. But, no worries. Guess if I were to do this, I'll have to get a couple cheapo phones to use on the old lines until I cancel the new. Thanks again and hope you have a good day!

This deal is awesome. It's the exact same as TMO online or when you call in...which I did and they would waive the activation fees (FYI just ask), however I don't want to be stuck with bill credits for another 2 years....

Costco is the way to go, but they are super limited on what that they have in stock. I went to a Costco yesterday and they there was a sign in sheet with 10 people on it, thank goodness I overhead the rep talking to another customer saying they were out of 11s -128s and only had 64s left. He said everyone is OOS right now at most stores in SoCal, so just FYI.

Also if you are a current customer this stacks with the add a line get a line.

Eg. if you have 2 lines, port or open a 3rd get on this promo with it - get a 4th line free and trade-in = 700$+700$ = $1400

with $140/mo bill on Magenta and 2 free iphones

You can specify if they have enough stock after the previous waiting in line.

How to port a number to Boost mobile to get iPhone 7? I bought two numbers from eBay and went to store. The rep called AT&T to get some pin or confirmation number (other than the one I gave her) and found out line is not active.
