If I buy 2years apple care at Costco can I extend my apple care on a monthly basis?

Hello dfpost,

We understand that you're looking into options for extending AppleCare+ if purchased. The ability to do so depends on location, and you did find the applicable article:

Extend your AppleCare+ coverage

In order to extend the coverage, it needs to be an official AppleCare+ plan and one where the coverage isn't provided through a third-party insurance.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities!

I read the article, but I still have a question about this. T-Mobile/Sprint offers insurance for $15.00/mo that includes Apple Care+ as part of the package. I told them no, I'd rather get the coverage through Apple for my phone, however, if I had opted to use their plan, and it was explicitly stated that it includes Apple Care+, would that coverage have been able to be extended when the initial subscription with the carrier ran out? That is, could I have asked Apple to continue the Apple Care+ coverage? I'm curious because my father had the coverage through Sprint/T-Mobile, but when we switched carriers, he no longer had insurance on his phone. Would Apple have continued it? The article doesn't seem to cover that particular situation...

Did you click on the blue letters and read that article?

That would be a question for T-Mobile.
