-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

"Sorry, this phone can't be activated right now. This device has not reached financial eligibility."
"Your phone is compatible. You'll just need to unlock it from Your Carrier before you activate it with us."

Why isn't my phone in the clear?
The first three instances below are the most common cases where a phone hasn't passed its FED. The fourth and fifth reasons are less common and totally preventable if you buy your phone from a reputable reseller.
The phone was purchased directly from Sprint on a postpaid account and hasn't fulfilled its contract term or paid its early termination fee (ETF).
The phone was purchased from a prepaid carrier and hasn't been active with that carrier for the required minimum 12 months before moving.
The phone was purchased from a Sprint retail or big box store. Similar to the prepaid carrier rule, when a phone purchased off-contract or from a store like Best Buy, it is required to be activated on Sprint for a minimum of 12 months before it can move to Ting.
The phone was financed through Sprint and not fully paid off, or otherwise has an unpaid balance associated with it (an unpaid bill for example).
The phone has been reported as lost or stolen.
By Reading at Ting blog, looks like Boost prepaid phones are eligible for trade in. Any one here to confirm?
