T-Mobile 30 day eSIM Trial on T-Life App you can port it out for free. I got 4 phones to use on trials from Straight Talk/Total Wireless deals unlocked in last 3 years.

After get Free Trial Number create a T-Mobile ID: Use the T-Mobile website to link your trial number to a email/profile.

Locate Account Info: Your account number in the "Account Summary" section of the online portal. Generate a Port PIN: Under Settings in Profile

For Chrome, open incognito page, chose I need a new number, chose $55 plan, enter your zip, hit get new number, hoover your mouse to the top right area near the X then message for coupon will pop up, works for me every time. These $25 off coupon works for only new customer, won't work for existing customer option. I can give you a code if you can't generate one.

Nope. Signed up during $50 + $120 2 mo service. No way of switching online. Maybe you can try asking a rep but I haven't done so.
Can you switch the plan for the second month?

If I guess this right, I'll need 2 months premium service $60x2 =$120.00 . Then cancel service and wait 6 months for unlock ? I wonder if I'm able to port the # I have from Metro i open for the IP13 deal recently as well to this deal
Since it is TMobile (metro) to ATT (cricket) it should work…or just pay $15 more with the $25 off, pop up bonus, get the phone, activate and add 2nd iPhone 16e with port in and save again

No, unlike Metro, you need active service through the unlock period.

Or $135 without port in using $25 off coupon can be generated easily.
Do you have to sign up for 6 months of service to unlock using this method?

Ugh, bought 2 months ago and same price for the 256GB that the 512GB is now. Really wanted it for travel though, my other phone was over 5 years old and storage has been full for about the last 2 lol. Still, could've just bought mine and waited to get our son's. **tear**
AND the previous "deal" you had to have the $60 plan for 3 months, so yeah that sucks. Of course this is 1 of only a few times I didn't buy on a card with purchase price protection because the card I bought it on had a $75 back for Cricket. I'll check it out to see if there is any recourse for the price difference though. $200 per phone is significant!

FYI, service in Mexico was hit or miss. Sometimes phones wouldn't work at all without restarting, or turning roaming on/off...or just not at all depending on the city. At least on one of the phones. Also, Cricket's wi-fi calling completely sucks compared to Mint. It just straight up was not working so I don't know how many calls/texts I missed when no cell service over the course of those weeks. Several people guessed I was out of the country because the phone message didn't just go straight to voicemail, there was some kind of message about the phone not receiving calls similar to if it were out of service.

For existing cricket wireless customers, is it possible to add this deal with a lower monthly plan? How much would it cost? TIA

If I already have cricket.. And buy this... after the 2 months are over can I move the phone to my standard plan that I have, then after 4 more months (6 months total on Cricket) phone can be unlocked? Or no?
