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

One phone was boost and was listed as boost only on trade in form... it was having value 31..

Other phone was boost and was listed as generic on trade in form... it was also having value 31..

But today tmobile told me devices received are different than devices on tradein.. they have to approve $29 instead of $31 of originally listed devices...

So u understand there was no problem with wrong carrier or change of carrier..

I am not worried about $2 .. I was mainly concerned what got changed... If the reduced value still keep the rebate process same then i am fine..
We listed as Boost, Assurant changed it to Sprint (Main carrier, boost is MVNO), value reduced, same happened for my boost 6s, FYI.

Did you get a call about this and for you to accept the new trade in value or was it done automatically on their end? Thanks.

Did t-mobile call you for this? From what number if you don't mind me asking. I got a call that said t-mobile on the caller ID but I didn't pick up, just trying to figure out if it was for the same.
I contacted tmobile customer care myself to check

Oh ok. So you called regular customer service at 611? I sent in 2 and both got there same day on Monday but have only received credit for one. Just waiting for the other and wondering what's going on. I guess I'll wait until Monday or Tuesday and if not received the credit by then, i guess I'll give them a call.

Thank you.

This deal was extended but the trade-in values are lower. Previous comments have the new values. Deal runs through the 12th

Costco rep entered one digit incorrect for my trade-in phone and the system still generated a quote. At the time of mailing in I realized that one digit of IMEI on mail-in receipt was off compared with phone so I went back to a different costco (nearby) to get it fixed. The rep generated a new quote with correct IMEI but he said "in the system it is as if you purchased the phone twice with two trade-ins. Hopefully they understand and process your rebate without issue". I purchased originally on Dec 4 and rectified it today.

So does any expert know what all can go wrong here or is this is a non-problem?

I need some help guys.

I picked up a new iPhone yesterday with trade in of iPhone 7 that I bought online. The trade in phone was fine and I could access mail phone screens (settings etc), and there was no pass code or icloud signed in. I did factory reset to be doubly sure to remove any issues; now I'm unable to get the phone to activate. I tried restoring the phone using iTunes but it's not working. Has anyone sent their trade in phone with similar status, and got credit approved?

Thanks!

You're billed for a month in advance on postpaid accounts.

Thank you for your answer.
TMO rep said something similar.
I didn't use postpaid plan for over 10yrs and got confused by this charge.
Sounds like postpaid plan need to pay in advance.
