-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.
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.
This is ABSOLUTELY wrong
ANY listed phone, ANY carrier.....as long as its in good condition and not icloud locked

I did it yesterday as well and I just checked my account but the status is: Processing.
I did my brothers rebate late last night like around 9 pm and that's the only one that didn't show up yet. The others were done around 11 a.m.
Mine shows as unlocked:
Good news!
You should have a great experience using your own phone with T-Mobile—it has features that typically perform well on our network.
Apple iPhone 11 Pro
It's well equipped to take advantage of our network technology, like Extended Range LTE and VoLTE.
This phone is not blocked—it's ready to use on the T-Mobile network.
got the same BYOD message from Sprint, but cannot find server with Sprint sim?

If it is locked, it will say message as your phone is compatible and reach t-mobile/carrier to get it unlocked.
So the verzion sim works for unlocked t mobile phone, but not the sprint sim which needs to be ESN swap by calling the Sprint reps?

Great news!
Your phone is compatible with Ting.
If your Apple iPhone 11 is unlocked you can bring it to Ting today! It will support the following services on our GSM network.
Sprint says:
act your current carrier
Your phone is eligible for Sprint service, but it is still locked by your current carrier. Once you get it unlocked, you can come back and activate your phone.

If you put in another carrier's SIM (for the first time since unlocking), the iPhone will connect to Apple's activation server and go through that whole process on screen. It will require you to input your Apple ID info if activation lock (Find my iPhone) is enabled as well. This is the phone downloading the new unlocked activation policy and is one way to know the iPhone is unlocked. Otherwise, it would pop up with a message that says "SIM not supported" in the same flow.
