So couldn't you order it with a new number then just swap with an existing sim and not use the new number? I've done this in the past.
Another trick I did once, but would have to look into to remember all the steps or see if still possible, was get a tracphone sim, activate it for $5 or whatever online, then port that number into cricket, then swap old sim into new phone.
Once unlocked, does the IMEI work on Verizon? I know this is an issue with some devices from the Metro phones.
thanks

I used to do the same. order the phone as a new customer, new number. then use it on an existing line for 6 months and unlock. Does that not work?
First, Cricket has access to ATT's 5G+ where available, while Visible customers need the $45 plan for their Ultra Wideband version. Visible advertises its $25 plan as having speeds of 9-56 Mbps. I just tested mine with Cricket and got 92 Mbps, and I'm not even in a 5G+ city.
Also, the $60 plan is subject to a $5 discount with auto pay, or discounted additional lines, where Visible is $25 or $45 per line, as they got rid of their multi-line plans this year. .
So Visible is definitely cheaper, but I pay $130 for 4 lines of (in my experience) faster speeds and the best coverage for my area. Plus I also get HBO/MAX for free.
But there are ways around some of the perceived cost. They just charge you the month up front. The 6 month thing is just to unlock it. Since I use Cricket, when I did it in the past, I paid the first month with the purchase, then tossed the sim and swapped in an old one and that was it. Never activated or continued using/paying for the new number.
When I bought my daughter a phone last year with a new number, they charged the $60 plan up front with purchase, but then discounted it $40 per the family plan pricing.
