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

Doesn't work that way as I'm keeping tmobile long term so the cost of 2 accounts at 4 per account is higher than having 8 lines in one account
They're not saying it's cheaper, they're telling you that it's 4 per account regardless of whether you sign up at Costco or T-Mobile. So you'd need to open a second account if you want to do 8.

Went to Costco and got my four lines and four new iphone 11 (128gb) on Tuesday (11/26) last week. Mailed in four Boost iphone 7 (that I bought pre-owned at the Boost website) on Wed. (11/27).

Shipping info show 3 of my 4 iphone7 arrived at the tmobile promo location on Sat. (11/30). Got emails today saying received three $59 credits to my account.

A little worried about the last iphone 7 box. That one still hasn't been delivered!
it happened for me, USPS at Harrisburg PA has some problems. one of my box sent on 11/10 was looping and finally delivered on 11/27. Now waiting for bill credit.

You need to call T-Mobile asap, the reason why is they need you to manually approve the new trade in value.

I traded my phones as verizon/xfinity but the trade in department revised them as generic.
Thanks for suggesting to call T-Mobile, found my friend has not turned off 'find my device' while shipping, hence its pending. Rep told to disable, so they can process.

We have a One for business account. Has anybody been able to successfully do a new account? The rep at Costco said they couldn't do business accounts. Should I try to find somebody more knowledgeable?

How do I check if my new line is activated on e-sim or regular sim slot? I jumped on this because my current phone still has a contract, but I plan to port that number to a prepaid pay as you go plan and put it the regular sim card. Can this be done?

Funny you should say this. I have a business account and added 2 more lines 2 days ago with no issue. Went back today and tried to add one more and the kiosk said i had no available lines to add. I called TMO and they said i can add 2 more with no issue. The rep at the costco said, if its not showing open lines in their system, they cant do anything about it.
Did you add lines for this promotion at the costco?

I think so. I took advantage of a slick deals promotion in the past and you were supposed to be an employee of UPS. I just gave T-mobile the code and they set up my account, but I think it was set up as a business plan because of the code. Anyhow, when I went to Costco this week the rep said something about my account being different so he had to call it in. He spoke with T-mobile for about 5 minutes and got clearance to add a line.

Does any body know if my family/friends used $580 promotion last month for 4 lines then can we add 2 more lines with this new $700 promotion with same tmobile account?
I am confused because it says limit of 4 per account. But not sure if that limit of 4 is per offer or 4 for total of all offers combined for my tmobile account.
Please suggest.


Also, Is it advised to buy a used iPhone 7 from craigslist or other apps...or not?
If I buy, then please suggest what and how do i verify while buying used iPhone?

Many people have asked if it's ok to switch sim cards in the phone. I messaged T-mobile through facebook and took a screenshot of their answer so I can use it in case my rebate doesn't go through. He refers to the T-mobile monthly credit promotion, not the Costco $700 rebate which is what I asked about, but probably the same answer.

"Hello. Thanks for your patience. I'm Nathan, an expert in all things Magenta. It's important that you be able to make the most of your new phone. Good news is that using the phone on a different line definitely will not affect the promotion. As long as you keep the new line active and continue paying on the device you'll be able to continue receiving the monthly promotional credits. So swap over that SIM when you're ready and you'll be good to go! Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and T-Force will be here to help! ^NathanLovato"
