-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.
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.
This is ABSOLUTELY wrong
ANY listed phone, ANY carrier.....as long as its in good condition and not icloud locked

Tried adding an additional line to the plan, but their system wouldn't allow it, telling the rep to call in. The rep refused to call. She said it happens to 30-40 percent of T-Mobile customers and is not fixable. I have not cancelled lines
If the error rate is so high, they should pre check everyone at Costco waiting in line. Wasted 2 hours of my time today at Costco, Danville CA.

If you are on amplified- the store must call for manual activation of lines
If you have recently cancelled lines- ymmv but the promo can still apply if you just have them call dealer support and activate lines.
The trade in for iPhone 11 is a moneymaker $629 phone $700 rebate.
Buy cheap iPhones that are refurbished from eBay, verify the charging port area isn't red (water indicator)
Buy applecare at kiosk some stores have it at $129 and some at $144 for 11. Pros are more. don't buy square trade
Your trade in value cannot be $0.
You get 2% back for executive for every dollar paid in store minus taxes
The rep will activate new lines in store- have them place a test call. The person before me said no test call then when they left the rep called someone and gave their membership number to them

That's the exact problem I have and no one can tell me if there is a balance due on the stupid phone! Sprint gives me the message you posted and Boost told me, "The IMEI is fine and is ready to activate". So I'm HOPING that the Sprint(Ting) flag is coming up just because the phone is locked to Boost, not because there is a balance due. I can't decide if I'm ready to risk $700 on this...
