Never mind, just got an email 10 minutes back and it's shipped and arriving in 2 days.
Overall timeline: went to Costco and ordered the 4-phone from T-mobile kiosk on Saturday morning. E-Sign the agreement from the email Saturday afternoon.
Monday email about estimated shipping date of Nov 26, and arriving Dec 1.
Tuesday noon got the email about phone being shipped out and the shipping tracking number via UPS 2-day.
Wednesday got the phone.
Thursday: took the phone into Costco and CSR helped to port the number from xfinity. I brought a phone with the xfinity app and logged into the xfinity mobile account, CSR obtained the transfer authorization pin and other information from the app. For each line, CSR switched the SIM info from the physical one to the eSIM of the iPhone. The whole process took 40min because each new iPhone has to perform an iOS update.

it also had the phones you ordered and also new numbers (not ported ones) and associated SIM?
I didn't get to port out any of the numbers yet, and I ordered this via telephone.
My question is that, when do we port in our old numbers? Is it during activation?

1. Went to a Costco store with T mobile kiosk (store listed at bottom of this page https://www.costco.com/t-mobile-b...wcase.html)
2. Talked to CSR about porting from Xfinity to this 4-for-$100 and free iphone17 promotion.
3. CSR asked for Costco membership card and driver license to start ordering process.
4. To waive activation fee, CSR stated I need to order an accessory or device protection plan, so I purchased a $20 Apple charger head USB-C 20W. Total comes out to be: sales tax for the 4 phones + $20 charger. $75 GC per line activation seems to qualify for this promo, I didn't ask specifically.
5. CSR ordered four phones with new temporary numbers and gave four physical SIM cards to me. Phone will be shipped to the house (estimate one week) then I can bring it back with SIM card to activate and they will help with porting the number from xfinity.
6. Gave bank checking account / routing number to setup as auto-payment. Also email info so document can be sent and signed electronically. Took about 30minutes and overall a pleasant experience.
7. After shopping at Costco, went home and followed instruction from multiple TMobile emails to sign the agreement, create online account, etc; all the transaction and phone info are listed in TMobile site clearly. I believe only after signing the agreement, then the phone will be shipped. I'm still waiting on shipping/tracking confirmation, but since it's the weekend, maybe it will be processed on Monday.
will update later if anything changes.
Ofcourse Tmo won't unlock unless its paid off because it is their property until its paid off. It is like not releasing car title to you until loan is paid off.
