Ordered 3 16e so far . Trying to order 2 more but it's charging me the full price if I select port in and $99 for new number. Is there a limit on how many of these you can redeem? For iphone 13 it's allowing me to order at the $0 price with port in.

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.
I think I am in the same situation as you. I was finally able to log in to Lyca Mobile and received my account number and PIN. After that, I placed an order with Cricket, but now my number transfer is delayed with the message:
"There is an issue with your current wireless provider causing a delay with your number transfer."
You mentioned that your issue was resolved after waiting one more day. Could you please let me know what you did to fix it? Should I just wait, or is there anything specific I need to do?

Is there anyone's Helium zero plan get cancelled today? I got Helium cancellation notice today? Will I still be able to activate my cricket iphone which is still on the way?
This is a big problem. Then does that mean that everyone who tried to port in to Cricket using the Helium Zero Plan won't be able to complete the transfer and will have to cancel their orders?

I chatted with Support early at around 6pm PST, and all they could do is lookup the issue and tell me to wait few hours for an email despite me asking several times if they can update or re-initiate the port-ins over the phone, but they just would not respond to that. My email came few hours later. I opened the link in the email that brought me to the port status page where my Metro lines were "Confirmed" but Lyca was not, and Lyca had empty Account Number box. So, I basically added the Lyca account number and submitted the form. Right after that, the refreshed page sai "You're all set". Few hours later, I got another email telling me that the order is being shipped.

My goal was to fix the issue before 2pm so the order could ship the same day, but I forgot that it needed to be done before 2pm EST, and not PST. So, my order is shipping out tomorrow.

Thank you for your response. Just to confirm, when you chatted with customer support at "6am" PST, that was with Cricket, not Lyca, correct?
So in the end, there was no issue with your Lyca account number and PIN, and the problem was that Cricket was missing the transfer information for Lyca, right?
Since I can no longer view my account and PIN number on Lyca, it seems like the number transfer may already be in progress. I will contact Cricket first tomorrow to check on the status.
Thank you again for your help.

Yes, my chat was with Cricket. My Lyca's account number and pin were unchanged from the screenshot I took about 3 weeks ago. I assume if an order has more than 1 port-ins, Cricket's order form has option to enter info for only one line, and for the rest, it sends an email with link to update the port infos for all lines. Even though I had provided the correct Lyca port info, I imagine Cricket was not able to connect to Lyca to verify the info (due to Lycan's login issues). Also, the actual port/transfer takes place only when you activate the lines, not while placing the order.

My Helium plan did not port until I activated the cricket line. Although you will receive an email from Helium when you initiate the process of canceling/getting a port out pin.
