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.

Interesting... my iPhone 16e that I mailed in to Apple got 'rejected'

Reason:
Unauthorized modification of the device

I ordered one for a family member who will kept for 6 months to unlock. Wondering: if I order a second on the same account and then sell, will it be a problem for the line still there?
You have to cancel the 2nd line, otherwise they will bill 2 lines

I had a similar result with two iP13s from metro during trade-in at an Apple Store, while two other phones from cricket didn't have any issues.
Later I checked online and saw that it could just be a scanner sensitivity problem, and that if I mailed the devices the result might be different. So I sent them in, and today the status changed to "evaluating." I'll let you know how it goes.
BTW, did they provide any details? Which exact component is reported as replaced? The screen? I read that testing the screen often causes multiple false results.

Zero details.

I'm on chat support and my only two option is - accept $0 or reject.

I haven't received any emails telling me about my trade-in but I went to check status and that was what showed up... which I instantly contacted support.

Those that ported over from MobileX, did you select other when asked about carrier name or Verizon Prepaid?

Was this phone from Cricket in a brand new condition? One time my iPhone 13 trade in from Metro to apple store had the same issue. The rep couldn't do anything and just said the device cannot be traded in. I eventually gave up. Not sure what causes this.

Yes, brand new from Cricket - received end of February and thought I would save a trip by having Apple send a trade-in kit.

Warranty valid through February 26, 2027 - was a sealed device.

It was used for like a week before sending it in...

The one I took to Apple Store yesterday was used for 2-3 days and was accepted on the spot.

The one mailed in was used for ~1 week before being sent in.

You don't need to. Idk about mail in but I have traded in several phones in store with 99.69% conditions and they won't ask a thing, they might ask why you do this but you can just make up a reason

Quote from Iregulate :
You have to verify with text message before transferring and provide a compatible imei number. I have been trading in phones to apple for discounted price on apple products for years so the other poster saying you might have to wait 2 months is new to me. Only time I have been denied is when the a phone I traded in came back as a demo unit. Even though everything worked it was marked as demo and rejected.
Have you tried to check your IMEI on Sickw to see if it came back as demo unit?

How do they know carrier name though? There is no field to enter it, only says "other"...
