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.

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.

Quote from VSDG20 :
Can't you downgrade the plan to the 30 dollar plan after the 2 months? From Cricket's info it's unclear, maybe someone that has done this type of deals can share some insight? Nothing in the offer details says otherwise. In bold letters it says "Account will remain subscribed to $60/mo. plan for two months". Though it does not explicitly say you can downgrade after two months either. The one that is more clear in this regard is the option to use a new number as the offer details say in bold "If you take this offer, you will not be able to move to a less expensive rate plan until after your second service charge". If new number you can downgrade after two months but not with porting in, then selecting a new number is cheaper in the long run to unlock as it would be 99.99+60+55+4*30=$334.99
If that works, it's only $240 because the phone is free. You have to pay $120 for two months when you buy the 16e, then another $120 for months 4-6. Nobody has confirmed that they could do the downgrade, or that they got the unlock after doing this. I'll try, and if it doesn't work, $360 for this phone and 1/2 year of service is still slick.

4 lines on the Supreme plan - $130 monthly. At least one month you'll get with a phone. So 5 additional months (if you stay on the same plan) would cost $130 x 5 = $650, which is about $163 per phone in addition to the purchase price.
Better to just trade in 2 for $310 apple store credit and get 1x 17e, right?

Quote from ProbablyReckless :
What reason is there to believe the 16Es will trade in for $310?

Apple.com says "up to", and these are the entry-level config. You'd think the 512GB models would be the ones getting $310 and the 128GBs somewhere around $200. But hey, this is Slickdeals. Buying out a retailer, based on "vibes" is a routine occurrence here.
Directly from Apple when I put in for a trade-in:

Trade in for an Apple Gift Card
$310 to use anytime, on any Apple product or service.

That $310 value is based on the condition of the phone.
"Your estimated trade-in value is valid for 14 days. This estimate is subject to assessment and verification by Apple. When your trade-in has been received and verified, we'll send you the amount on an Apple Gift Card by email."

Reading is fundamental! laugh out loud

Me too. I saw this coming with how fast this thread was moving. Didn't get two but one will do since I intend to keep it.

Originally, I tried to order the 13 from the Metro deal but after so many failed attempts, obsessively trying different browsers, Credit cards, vpn no vpn different emails bablah blah bablah. Swapped over to this tread and used the $25 coupon for a iPhone 13 (no port in-new number from cricket) total on that order 87.99 for one iPhone 13. While activating the cricket line this weekend I realized that after I logged into my account, I was able to order 2 iPhone 16e (port in required) for 50 buck's total. The phone was free and first line was 30 bucks and the second was 20 bucks. So, each iPhone 16e cost me 25 a piece this makes up for the hours I spent trying to get in on the Metro Deal

It's been asked but not confirmed...would love to know if you can downgrade the plan after two months and still qualify for unlock after 6 months. Thanks

Yep. It's based on the condition, not storage. Form didn't even ask for storage configuration or IMEI or anything else other than the model, my address, phone #, email where gift card should be sent to.

Is it correct to say that $120 (2-month service) + $40 x 4 (40-month service) will give you a 6-month service and an unlocked iphone 16e?
