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.

They're back in stock, but I think they changed something. I already got one and activated yesterday. But when adding a line with port now, at the checkout screen it changes the price from $0 to $199 for the phone. Or I'm not doing something right.
Make sure to select the correct plan

I'm standing in front of the Apple Store. They informed me that the Apple cannot accept this phone. However, they can recycle it for free, but they won't pay any money for it. They're not entirely sure why the system doesn't display the reason for this rejection.

Oh ok that's probably it. I selected the $30 plan.

OK so it seems like they are auto canceling Helium and Mobile X port-ins? I'll try with an xfinity mobile number I have if it comes back again.

Where's the best place to get another esim/number. I can't get a second through helium (said I recently ported out, second phone asks me to verify identity but doesn't prompt how to do it).

I have a mobilex number that won't port over. Want to try another one number/provider.

In and out of stock several times last hour. I think they are changing something.

Where's the fraud here? People are ordering based on Cricket terms.
Their risk management system or whatever you wanna call it.
They're trying to get these phones to actual unique people who will pay back the cost of the phone and more in service fees.
So Cricket and every other company has some sort of scoring system for you address/ip/credit card etc.
I was just speculating that the cancellations were because they had configured this to max strictness, as opposed to an inventory or server overload issue.
Just a random guess. I have no idea if it is true, and it's most likely wrong.

I just got back from an Apple store. I traded in one ip13 and one 16e from Metro and one ip13 and two 16e from Cricket. The guy had trouble getting them to go through and had to have a manager push all the trades through the system. I don't know what the issue was. Now I'm debating on turning all the gift cards into cash at Cardcash or getting some combination of cash and apple products...

What's good for a unlocked iPhone 16e paid a total $320 after 6 months?
