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.

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)
It's prepaid. Just don't prepay for any more months.

Quote from ProbablyReckless :


From the paragraph you quoted earlier...


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.
I've seen confirmation in many posts on Reddit and Facebook and slickdeals who did in fact receive $310 for each cricket phone from Apple. Stop spreading false information.

Ported in a phone number. Do I need to activate when the phone is delivered or can I trade into apple without opening box?
Definitely should activate to complete the port in promo, you don't want Cricket to use that excuse to charge you full price later. Also you can login your account afterward and grab two more Iphone 13 for only $50 if the 16e out of stock, that could net you another $340 after trade in.

Dam dam dam your right and thank you i didn't even think of that. Me not completing the terms of the promo and them trying charge me full price. I wasn't going to complete the activation either. I did some AI researching and i looked like i would be good but AI isn't going to pay them if it's wrong.

There's a $3 early termination fee if port out within 7 days of activation for MobileX.
Will Tello be another option? They seem to have a $5 plan.

Has anyone actually tried the trade in and confirm the value they got?

Apple trade in estimate doesn't ask for storage, how do we know if that $310 is for the 512gb version?

I would still go with MobileX for only $7 total, they give instant port out info in the app unlike Tello cost $9.60 and they won't provide you port out info after 3-7 days.

For a port out number I used Total Wireless $20 (with a $15 off Amex offer).

I can confirm this. I've traded in a total of 3 iPhone 16es from Cricket and got $310 for each. Apple employee didn't even care that the phones were a day old lol. The only issue I have is they have to give you 1 gift card per phone. So I ended up with 3 gift cards worth $310 each. Would've been easier if they gave me the full $930 in one gift card.
