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.

Anyone tried unlock services? Unlocklocks says $66.95 for cricket 16e 1-2 days. It worked on Boost Mobile Edge+ 2023 deal if can't unlock they refund you.
If you do so and try to trade-in later in the future will the phone be blacklisted?

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

Reason:
Unauthorized modification of the device
Same here, just got back from store, both 16e from 2nd/3rd line trade in no issue, 16e from first line got $0 due to "Unauthorized modification" issue.

How long have you had them? What did you tell the people at Apple for why you're trading in?

The two 16e successfully trade in I received them yesterday, the one got rejected I received it over a week. They never ask you why you're trading in.

To those stuck in the infinite order cancellation loop like me:

The only way I was able to get another order to go through is by shipping to a different address

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank superman0904

For those of you guys who are having trouble ordering online. You can order in person at a Cricket Store. No activation fee, but had to pay tax on the full price.

Came down to ~$150 for two 16e's after tax and both lines.

I purchased before this deal which was $50 for phone + $120 for 2 month service; less $25 cart coupon.
How did you port with an expired line ? Were you still able to get the pin and account number ?

Any of the phones still have the IMEI attached to the Cricket phone numbers via eSIM?

Can you use the same account but only change the shipping address?
