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

40 days to unlock iphone? or 2 months?
Contact T-Force from facebook/twitter. They are prompt will place the unlock request right away. Device unlock will happen in 48 hrs. But it will be unlocked in a day.

When transferring funds, is anyone getting the message: ERROR A valid routing number is required....

I was able to transfer funds from one card, but not a second card. OR is it limit one transfer per account?

Delete the bank details from the one which you transferred. Add again in the new one. It will work

Anyone got approved who had to call customer service to accept lower trade in value of phone. I have submitted my rebate and sent phone on 12/03 and status still shows received.

Oh, thanks for the info.

Now, I am getting into another issue. When I click on the text link, it takes me to a Wirecard login page:

Enter User ID and Password

How do I bypass that? I never created an account

Yes you need to delete bank info every time to do the next rebate.
so you can delete it even if it says: "...this will cancel future withdrawals"?

For anyone having the same issue, I had to register the card and create an account (just for one out of four cards). Once I did so, I was able to transfer funds. The other three were easy and did not need to do any extra work.

Thanks

If this $700 rebate promo comes back, could I buy another phone? I already got 4 under a new T-mobile account with 4 lines.

I got my VC at 8AM this morning on a 11/27 rebate submission.

Called last night 611 asking unlocking. Do you get any message confirmation if it's unlocked or not from TMo? I plan to get an ATT prepaid sim card to check, but want to know before I make the purchase.

As long as your lines on your plan haven't been filled, you can always add lines and do the promo. Each promo has a different code. So you are fine)

seems to be random.
I have waited 40 days and on the 41st day I called and requested the unlock.
The funny thing is, I requested two unlocks and only 1 was approved. The 2nd was denied because it said the line had to be used and 2 bills had to be paid:

Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. We have received your SIM Unlock Request. Unfortunately, this subscriber is not eligible to receive the unlock code at this time. In order to be eligible, the IMEI must have usage by the mobile number requesting the unlock code and the account must have a minimum of two monthly service payments since first use of requested device.
You will probably need to use the new phone with its original SIM card from time to time before unlocking it if you haven't.

Got all my rebate text msgs today. They were all sent to my main number. So it seemed they fixed the problem in their system.

All status changed to Sent online.
