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.

It looks like it's been going in and out of stock all day. Hopefully the deal is still alive tomorrow when my first phone arrives and I can activate it.

Maybe I'm one of the few keeping the device but can anyone point me in the direction on how to get a referral for Cricket? I am not asking for it to be posted here.

Edit: I must have gotten bad Apple rep, they wouldnt take my trade in. Will go to another Apple store and try there.

I plan on waiting for the 2nd month to pass before I head in to the Apple Store.

It's actually easier that way. As far as I remember there is a limit of how much $ you can add to your Apple account and with 3x310 you have some flexibility

Limit is $2000. If you have more to add, it'll display a message of the limit If you add something close to that amount to your cart in the online apple store and the item costs a few hundred more, you will also have the option to add a few more gift cards right there in the cart. I know this becauses I collect Apple Gift cards

Ok, let me know. I plan to go to another Apple store and try it there. But literally first thing they asked me is if the phone is locked to a carrier and if its under any contractual obligation. I told them that its locked to Cricket and has to be active for 2 months. Maybe I just got a bad 'Genius'.

I was never asked if my phone was locked and under any contractual obligation. Possibly your associate was just being strict about it. If the others mention their trade-in was approved right after receiving the phone in the mail, then I'm quite sure your associate is not understanding policy and stopping it.

This makes sense they turned you away. You need to wait for the second month to pass and then trade it in. I waited until I got a message that my service is no longer active before I traded it in. Made sense for me to do that but it may not be obvious for others. Go back later.
Do you think Google store do the same? Thanks

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

I used Tello. $5 for a 100 min plan, $3 for the eSIM, $11 plus change after tax in my area. I'm going to try Helium Mobile to obtain a number for $2 plus change for my second iPhone 16e if they come back in stock.

there is a subreddit for that, just google what you're looking for and there's only like 3 threads in there. they just made a new thread for january 2026 with instructions and a bunch of referrals in the comments.

Cricket does nothing for existing subs as usual.

Can we switch to the $40 plan to get 3 months of service from the $120 payment?
No, not possible. It used to be, but they closed that loophole a while ago.
