Quote from WeekendVampire :
Ok so really more like $300 per phone for 4 lines? Wow!!!!!! This is including 6 months of service! As good as the AT&T deal !
4 lines should be cheaper. Since the plan price also decreases to something like 100/mo for all 4. So assuming 4x100 for the 4 months and 4x120 for first 2 months, 880 total -> 220 per phone. One can also go for the 3-mo $45 plan, then it becomes 4x120 + 4x45 +100 (the 6th month) = 760 -> 190 per phone.

edit: I notice a 2 device limit for this promotion for 1 order. not sure how it works with a second order of 2 more 16e.
with first order of 2 16e, the plan price already lowers to $210 (120+90) for the first 2 months. and looking further down the page when selecting plan, there's a chart for each plan with multi-line discounts.
so. if limit of 2x 16e per account holds true then maybe create 2 accounts:
210 for first 2 months + phones
90 for next 3 months (2x $45 3mo plan)
60 for final month (2x $30 plan)
= $360 for 2x 16e unlocked after 6mo
an extra $3.88 per to get number from MobileX if dont already have # to port. Add your own state tax.

I don't think so it worked on inactive Straight Talk Moto G Power.

Need 2 phones free trials or buy another port number somewhere.

After order first 16e and activate they give multi line discount if buy another and only need pay 1 month service for another Free 16e which is $30 dollars for 1 month supreme 2nd line.
Was your old sim still inside the device? I threw away mine, and no free trial shows on TLife. My Moto G Power is unlocked (originally from StraightTalk)

Can these be activated while in the sealed box? Or do they even need activated? No reason to open as they'll be traded shortly after

I plan on activating mine before I trade them in for an Apple gift card. I read the terms very carefully, and the one thing that has me concerned is that they state by purchasing this deal you must intend to use their service. I don't want to give them any reason to come after me or restrict me from any future purchases.

BTW, my order was placed around 2 AM this morning eastern time and I just received a UPS shipping notification for the 2 16e phones. Thanks again OP and everyone else in this thread for the useful information!

I kept trying PayPal without success on a a Safari browser, but then I switched from my Mac to an iPad using Apple Pay and the order was completed.
Interesting, for me google pay didn't work but PayPal did (edge browser)

Got error message at order confirmation page - "Oops! Looks like we're having a problem with our system. Please try again later.".
However, I received an order confirmation mail with with order #.
Got a tracking number. So I am guessing that I may had double clicked the final order confrimation page which caused the error while order was sucessfully submitted and processed..

When you're taking iPhones to trade in at Apple Store... How many are you taking at once? Feels a bit awkward to take devices to trade-in without any purchases - but that's just me.
