any suggestion on how to get cheap number for port in?

Get a Google Voice number. Pay ~$3 to unlock it for transfer

I suspect this is gonna be tough to get. The rep when I got the phones says that TW is only sending them one phone a week. That's ridiculous. Luckily for me the one from last week the guy never came to get so they had the two phones available for me.

16E for $599 is way too expensive but at $230 with 3 months service AND even Disney + premium for 3 months is a pretty damn good deal

FYI.
some say the unlock period is 60 days.
but , be sure to pay attention , to get this iphone 16e for free requires 90-days of paid service.

so, unlocked after 60-days,
free iPhone 16e after 90-days of payments.

I got this earlier this week. The first store I went to said it starts in two weeks. I then called another store down the street and they had one in stock which I went to. I highly recommend calling in advance.

Total was ~273, which was the plan, activation fee, and taxes on $599 msrp of the phone. The guy kept trying to upsell insurance and accessories but I politely declined. He did mention they're sending about 1 phone a week to each store. Overall happy with the phone and it was less than replacing my aging battery on my 12 Pro.

Walmart has 16e for $199 plus one month of plan fee $55 but I decided to give Total Wireless a try first since their store is closer. The number to port out was from Helium Mobile zero plan, I got the account and PIN numbers after chatting in their app. I spent about 30 mins in the store and out of door cost is $278. Here is the breakdown: $200 for 3 months of service ($65 x 3 plus $5 for whatever, $20 for activation, $20 for case and $10 for screen protector plus tax. I rejected the $30 case and screen protector, but the lady said the system won't go through without selling the accessories, even though she knew there are no case and screen protector in stock in the store for 16e. She then asked me to go to another store 9 miles away to pick up the accessories because that store has in stock. That's ridiculous.
With that said, I would spend $278 or more if I get the deal in Walmart, but Total wireless has 3 months of service included, so I still think this is a better deal.
ps. After setting up my account online, I figured out the $5 charge is for "Total Wireless Protect" for the first month. I canceled it and the $5 goes to "My Wallet".

Last time I went into a total wireless store in vegas.. the sign outside said total wireless but there was a single ethiopian guy selling luggage inside as if it were a flea market

How were the luggage prices? LoL coming from NY I thought that was the only way to buy luggage.

This did not work for me . My local store did not like my port in number from Redpocket mobile. They insisted port in numbers are good only from big mobile players like AT&T, Verizon , Cricket ,T-Mobile etc

I got it for 226.56$ total. Thanks OP for posting! First store I called mentioned that they are keeping them for the actual black Friday. Second store mentioned they only had one in stock which I was able to get.
Phone = 0$
Line = 65$x3month = 195$
Access Charge = 25$
"Total Wireless Protect" for 1 month = 5$
Sales tax on access charge = 1.56$

Remember you also get 3 months of Disney + Premium in this deal! That to me makes it worth it more than the Walmart one.

Yesterday I went to a total wireless shop at 6900 N Armenia Ave. in Tampa, Fl. They did not have iPhone 16e in stock however the young man (owner) checked around There was 1 available he had shipped to his store for today (14th) and he would hold it for me. He told me he would have it around 3 pm. I called the store at 3 pm. He told me it was in stock and I went and picked it up. Didn't need to port he assigned a new number. Total cost $220 out the door. Young man's name is Wasef number is 8139005734. If anyone is interested he can check around or take your info and contact you if he gets more stock. I'm not a shill for the store. But happy to mention that the young man was honest and did right by me.

I called a couple stores around, 2 were out of stock and the 1 that had 1 phone left said that it needs to be a port in, and then proceeded to list off a bunch of carriers they wont accept the port in from.
Some of the ones that they would'nt do were Google Voice, Tello, US Mobile, Walmart Family mobile, Straight Talk, Tmobile prepaid, Verizon prepaid, ATT Prepaid . I cant remember the others
So there goes my chances of getting this deal, I was going to try with a GV number or Tello number

Completely free?

the deal was a 'free' iPhone 13 with 3 months of paid service.
One of my friends got in on the deal, paid $165 for 3 months.
He needed a new phone but didn't need the newest model
