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

You can blame me for the loss of i7 deal. Finally found some at a store yesterday and bought four. Luckily, their resale value is still decent so I won't lose anything. Just no gain.

Wiki talks about Tmobile. Is it postpaid or prepaid that is not allowed?
I was on Sprint Free BYOD plan, moved to PayGo for a day, then moved to Sprint KickStarter. Do you guys think that I am eligible for this?

Thanks for the reply.
I bought 11 yesterday, with ta temporary new number and without providing the trade in IMEI.
Rep told me to come back later with IMEI. Was thinking if I can port in my Sprint number or do I have to get a whole new number.

porting in is the best way to go

I hope you can still get the deal since it has ended.

Work around for adding a new line without paying the extra 3 months of service : (if your phone number is not for critical biz purposes)

the basic idea: transfer your own number to google voice, and import the google voice number as a new line. For the 3 months waiting for rebate, forward your original phone number to the google voice number now is on tmobile plan.

I bought two phone couple days ago with iphone 7 trade ins.
However wife dropped her old phone while packaging and now it started flickering a little at the bottom of the screen (No crack on the screen). Will it still be accepted as valid trade in?

You can mail it in, but you won't get the rebate, if they see that flickering.
