If you would have waited, activate 1st line, then add 2nd line for 16e only $30, 3rd line $20, total $170 for three 16e way cheaper than 1 order.
Tried and tested?

Trade in value on apple is $310, so it's arbitrage for people want to buy an iphone later on apple store

From what I can see, their cheapest current plan is $30/mo. So for months 3-6, at 30+tax mo, you get an unlocked iPhone 16e for $120+120+tax total. It will probably still be worth more than that new in six months, so I call this slick provided that we are allowed to downgrade our plan and the phone actually unlocks in six months. This is also on net cheaper than the old Total Wireless deals iirc, though of course the wait time was much shorter.

ED: there is apparently a 3-month unlimited plan for $45 (it was listed under yearly plans so I didn't check there at first). If that's the case it'll be $75 for the final four months instead of $120, presuming you switch to the $30 plan for the last month.

In other words:
$120—phone+first two months
$45—unlimited plan for next three months (total of five)
$30—10gb plan for final month (total of six)
For a total of $195+tax. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Can anyone else confirm this? In need of a new phone and carrier and this seems like a really good deal.

separate, your 2nd line order for 16e cost only $30 with one month service, if you order together your 2nd line would cost $90.
Thanks for the code by the way.

I ordered one.
But i dont get how the 2nd 16e after activation will be only $30 instead of $90.

My understanding, is line #2 is $30 off. So the 2nd 16e would be $120 - 30 = 90.
What discounts get it down to $30 ($90 off) just by waiting for the Line #1 to arrive first? Is there something beyond multi-line discount?

If I am existing customer with grandfathered 4 for $100 plan on cricket, buying this as existing customer and porting number in, is that goes to screw up my grandfathered plan?
yuuuup. that is the sucky part of being grandfathered.

Just checked Cricket website. The $45 for 3 months plan says "get your first 3 months for $45". I doubt this doesn't work from the third month on.

This is probably the way it is. There's couple of reddit thread asking about this for existing customer. All they are saying is no for existing customer

$25 coupon for new cricket accounts with new number. If you're not lucky enough to catch the popup, I can share a few codes in DM.

UPD:

I have the same question and never saw an answer in multiple threads. It seems this is a very hard question to answer.
Depends on how many lines. For a single person, and assuming you need to go the full 6 months only for unlock, you're looking at paying the initial 2 months +tax where applicable, and another $120 for the next 4 months at $30/month with autopay on the Sensible 10gb plan.
So $240+tax, assuming you don't get a referral code input, which will give you another $25 off.
