Thanks! I thought i double checked it. I put in my SSN Last 4 as 2345...Can I call Cricket Wireless to get this corrected? The email I got, doesn't give any phone number to call.Also, will this port-out issue hold up shipping of the phone?
Mine held it up until canceled. Have to start all over again but system won't let me place new order because it says I need to activate first order first. Big mess lol

Lyca mobile had a $5 plan but now its website is dead so you won't be able to get into it to get your account/pin. Not sure if their chat/CS also dead or still operating.

Were you forced to upload your ID to compete the order?
Negative. No ID needed. Only email address, full name, payment, and address.

My 1st phone order for i13 (new line) is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. I plan to activate it and put in an order for two i16e, porting in 2 lines from Helium.

I was wondering if I should submit 2 separate orders - one each for Line 2 and Line 3 instead of a single order for both lines. Asking since few folks earlier in this thread were reporting issues with submitting the port in information if their order had multiple lines.

By submitting 2 different orders am I losing anything? Thoughts? Thanks!

They only ask me to update it via msg and email (if you do more than 1 line), did not need to call them
Did your order for MobileX port ship? I tried with 0000 social too but still stuck in needing additional information via email or text. When I check order status on Cricket website, it says in process. No mentioning of needing additional information...

I went through that and I can say go with all lines in one order as an existing user. Even with port issues, Cricket will send you a link to update your port info at least once a day after placing the order. I had 3 lines in my current order and it took just a day more to update the port info (I used the link late in the afternoon, causing the shipment to go out the next business day, otherwise my order would have shipped out the same day. If you do individual order per line, you'll likely receive all 3 phones in about 2 weeks or even longer (if any line runs into port issues).

Lycamobile $5 plan is still available, but if you are referring to login issues, that seems common with Lyca. I was not able to log in almost all day yesterday, and even with account number and pin screenshot, Cricket port in failed making me wait one more day to fix it. It seems when lyca is login issues, Cricket port transfer likely will also fail, not being able to connect to Lyca.

Wnat exactly does it mean when they send you link to update port info? Do you just ignore it and they still ship the phone?

No they cancel your order in 48 hours if you do not complete this step. Furthermore if you choose to put in numbers you don't intend to port port in just to make it past where you can place the order cricket will not allow you to change numbers on order arrival so your either stuck with the phone or you have to return it. Additionally there is chatter on other forums that it will self activate after some time so if that is correct that will port out the numbers you stuck in there just to place your order. Finally i have seen chatter of apple rejecting trade in for folks that didn't activate the phone prior to trade in…i have no personal experience with that as I activated all my phones prior to trade in. I guess it comes down to that age old question. "Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?" thats Clint Eastwood speaking not me

You have to update it until it said "You're all set"
