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.

That $310 value is based on the condition of the phone.

The fineprint:

Quote from BrightChicken7865 :
Looks like cricket requires 6 months of active service for unlock, right? Or am I mistaken?
I believe so. I bought a phone from Cricket some time ago, it ended up as a toy for a child, because they would not unlock..

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?
$30 x 4 (for the 10GB w/ autopay).

Quote from LILLYS_CLOSET :
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
Can also get another 13 Free w/Port or $49.99 new number+$20 line. 3rd/4th line is $20 total

it lets you get 2 discounted iphone each. Apple giving $195 gift card for iphone 13

Wow, you're still going. LMAO

Again, reading is fundamental. I put in for the trade-in at Apple already and entered the details for the exact phone from this deal. I even have an email confirmation stating $310 based on condition.

I do understand though what you are saying, because usually when trading in a phone it does ask for storage size. I can confirm when it comes to the 16e, Apple does not offer a premium based on the amount of storage.

Quote from anthem_the_cat :
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
Yes it qualifies. You are just paying two months in advance instead of month to month. The key* is service has to be 6 consecutive months of service.

Does anyone know if I can transfer this line to an unlocked phone after? The metro iPhone 13 deal didn't allow for line transfers without changing plans

How hard is it to cancel after the two months of prepaid service? (Or even better, can we cancel in advance of the service expiring in 2 months)

As a noob myself, if I purchase two phones at the same time (porting in two numbers) with the intention to trade them in to Apple, is there anything I need to do on the Cricket side after trade in to Apple? Thanks in advance.

From the paragraph you quoted earlier...
Quote :
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.
Simply "reading" all the info apple has provided doesn't confirm the 16E 128GB would trade-in for the "up to $310" maximum stated. It's rather vague with a bunch of CYA language. Even going through the submission process up-to the point of confirming your name/address/etc doesn't yield a ton of solid evidence. Which is why I asked "what reason is there" in my op.

Ported in a phone number. Do I need to activate when the phone is delivered or can I trade into apple without opening box?
