The $25 off doesn't work with port in. It's $120 for port in. I got the code, but the promo code box disappeared whenever I tried it. The box appears (and the popup) if you attempt to get a new number - the net cost for that is $135

Quote from royalrock :

2 months - $120+tax (port in)

1 month - #134.99+tax (with 25%) (no port in)

why do you want 2 months for new number....one month service is fine but u will end up having locked phone...

someone can correct me
No taxes, because the phone is $0.

Does anyone have experience with porting a number from Visible that's on a plan that's about to deactivate/run out? I have 3 days left on a prepaid plan and was wondering if the port will still go through if the phone from Cricket doesn't get here before then to activate and complete the port.

Most just looking to trade it not actually unlock it. Apple Giving $310 Gift Card buy 2 of them = $620 apple gift card. Then buy 17e unlocked direct from apple for $599 with gift card balance.
$600 for 17e is not very good, however.

You are paying half price or less out of pocket if you do the math (2) 16e is less then $300 dollars from cricket. Worth $620 Gift Card.

even cheaper if order iphone 13 first with new number after activate then only have pay $30 for 1 month supreme and free 16e w/port number $30 multi line discount

Iphone 13 has $195 gift card trade-in.

But what if the deal goes away while waiting for 1st one to arrive?
Nobody can give you a guarantee. It worked for us before is all I can say. Act at your own risk.

Order iphone 13 $49.99 w/new number+$60 supreme line and $25 off new customer $85 dollars total.

Once activate 13 you can order 16e Free w/port number only requires 1 month service instead of 2 and you get $30 off multi line discount. 16e is Free + $30 supreme line. Total cost $115 for 13+16e

Can also order 3rd line is $40 off. Another 16e Free w/port number for $20 line w/another port number.

Total $135 out of pocket (1) iphone 13 and (2) 16e
thats a great deal but I kinda worried that they will run out of 16e before I get my initial 13. what if i go get 13 in a store?
  1. would i be able to order 2nd and 3rd line when i get home and do it online?
  2. how much would it cost to get 13 in store? they charge like $25 activation? any other bs fees, besides insurance which i will decline? do i need to do ID check etc

Full tax on MSRP of phone in-store third party $20+ tax each phone +$25 activation fee per phone they will scam you.

T-Mobile 30 day eSIM Trial on T-Life App you can port it out for FREE.

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

Would you need to buy the 13 first, then the 16e? Or all in the same purchase for this discounts?

Quote from Himanshu1236 :
So basically, port-in gives one extra month compared to a new number and costs around $15 more. In both options, the phone remains locked. However, a locked phone can still be traded in at Apple for a gift card, correct?
correct as per my understanding....

Do you have to wait to get the iPhone 13 arrive at home and then add a new line for 16e or you can do this in one order?

yeah they want to make money so whatever. i am just trying to get the phones at the lowest price
if i get 2 16e online right now as a new customer the cheapest is 120+90=210
if i can order them as an existing customer as 2nd and 4rd line its 30+20=50. so if i can get the 13 in store lower than 160 i will break even, not to mention i will have a 13 with a 195 trade in value.
my concerns are having to deal with dumb aggressive sales people, need to show ID, plus the unknown of how much I need to pay
