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.

I tried to order around 11am CST, order went through and was cancelled within 30s.
Cleared browser cache and permission etc.
Tried again, order went through but only now 10:20pm I finally received a confirmation email with shipping and tracking.

Same mesaage to everyone
So the information they're unable to verify is likely not our info, but whether the phones are in stock. For me, even the product page loads very slowly. When I check what the browser is loading, I see that it's stuck waiting for an API response to decide whether to show the regular icon or "out of stock." Eventually this call usually fails with a timeout. The site is definitely not healthy.
The same problem likely causes order post-validation to fail. The situation gets worse because multiple canceled orders temporarily "return" stock.
I'm going to sleep for today. During working hours they will likely fix the stock, and everything should return to normal. I hope...

What happened to the port number after you got the cancellation? You were able to use it again for the next order?

Many people traded the 16e right away to Apple for $310 gift card. We have prepaid $120 for 2 month service for a 16e at $0. We own the phone free and clear. And Apple accepts trade-in even when a phone has a carrier/SIM lock.

REMEMBER to turn off auto pay on your Cricket amount so the account does not continue to charge your credit card.

Not sure how ATT, Tmo, and other providers handle trade-in, however.

You can trade in right away at Apple for $310 GC

Shoulda just ordered the 16e the first time instead of grabbing a 13 with new number hoping to get the rest cheaper

Oh well
