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.

Reporting back on my experience. I ordered one iPhone online Monday (porting in from helium). Today I went to a cricket store and got 2 more iphones (porting in one number from MobileX, bought the second line new). Just got back from an apple store and traded all 3 in with zero issues. Highly recommend going to the stores.

What was the extra charge in the store compared to online? I'm assuming there are taxes and activation fees etc?

Store gonna charge you full tax on $599 MSRP which is another $50 each.

I paid $30 and $20 for second and third line tax included.

Ughhh did I just get punked/ lied to by an Apple Store employee. Never did this trade in for GC thing before. I walked in there had 5 iPhones spoke to the first Apple nerd I saw and said I wanted to trade 5 iPhones for all GCs. Then he gave me me some Spiel about "we can help you recycle them. But we can't take them if you bought them to specifically trade in". He just saw me with 5 iPhones didn't check which models or anything, which was 2 16es and 3 i13s btw. So I just left. Thinking about going back there with only 1/2 seperate trips possibly family members next time for a better shot. Was this just an employee getting annoyed by so many people likely doing this deal? Should I have asked to speak to superior or something?

Still waiting on first one to come in, are people saying that we can't order new ones after the first one (e.g 2nd one for $30)

Normal people don't trade in five phones at once. You'd have to make multiple trips to the Apple Store.

Idk what the comparison is but my total at the store was $182.50 after tax. That plus the original $120 puts me at around $300 total for $930 worth of apple giftcards
