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.

Guys... Is it advised to buy a used iPhone 7 from craigslist or other apps...
If I buy, then please suggest what and how do i verify while buying used iPhone?
if you can examine the phone first, that should take care of most problem. Check screen, check to see if it's icloud locked, check to see if the signed out of their apple iD. Make sure home button, volume, and power works.

Numbering may be cut off if you're on mobile. Purple color is 25.

5. If you took advantage of the previous $580 promo earlier this month, you are still eligible to participate in this promotion. It's also a max of 4 redemptions per account this time around.

Guys it was Status: Pending
Then it became Status: Received

Does it mean submission received or trade in's received?
It mean the submission has received. Did the $580 last promotion and the rebate submission was received 2 days before the phone was delivered. So your rebate submission was received. Nothing to do with the phone trade in

On 11, you said,'You can trade in any carrier locked iPhone, and the phone does not have to have active service on it. The most obvious requirements are that the iPhone works, it's not iCloud locked, it's been paid off, it's not blacklisted, it's in good condition, and not water damaged. See below for the known credible cheaper options for purchasing an iPhone 7.'

But on 23 point, you said 'At Costco, you will get a quote for trade-in value of your phone based on its specs. Once you mail your phone and Assurant receives and inspects it, T-Mobile will give you a bill credit in the amount of the quote (or they may adjust the quote if something about the phone is different, i.e. your iPhone is locked to a carrier instead of being unlocked). You will then receive a Mastercard debit card in the amount of $700 MINUS your bill credit (assuming that you get $700 rebate -- see the bullet point about the UP TO verbiage).
'

which one is true? The trade-in phone can be locked to carrier???
