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.

Easiest solution is different CC with different address for each order. People are reporting you can use PayPal to keep the same CC - but still need a different address for each order. Have to attach a different primary address to your card in PayPal for each order for the time being.

If it is a porting issue - you will get an email from Cricket giving you a link to update your info. If not, and your order is still canceled, it is a billing/same address as the previous order issue.

Used a T-Mobile Prepaid port with no issue today.
New Address, New Phone number and New Credit card, but still hitting roadblock -

I bought iphone13 no port plus $25 promo for $87.99. basically paid for phone and 1 month of service.
I just bought a 16e (ported number) with 1 month of service .
I understand I can let service for 2nd line expire but what about my 1st line? Do I still need to pay for a 2nd month? If so, do I just leave it on auto pay and click cancel for the 2nd line?
I don't know how multi line billings works, my intensions is only to trade ins.

So no one else is getting full price iPhone 16e when adding new line with port in? Only me? I am selecting the right $60 a month ($55 with autopay). But it just doesnt give me the promo.
When signed into your account, you must find the section under account management that reads "add a line". At that point when you follow through each page you should get the discounted price. This is all assuming that you have previously purchased a phone and currently have an active line with cricket.

Got it to go through with different card and different address. MobileX now blocking the port, cricket notified me to contact them. Added chat support request, but mobilex account showing suspended and no line active. Said port would expire 3/16, and now nothing is there????

Hmm... but the payment (cc) needs to match the address, correct? Can I simply change the ship to address even though my cc is linked to my home address?

I'll see about changing it in paypal... never did that before. Although easiest if I can simply use a cc like normal and ship somewhere else and it'd actually work.

My fault by being late to the 16e party.. I was busy working on Metro deals and skipped this one...
Correct (technically) - payment needs to match address if you use regular Cricket checkout. My CC has a PO Box billing address so I was getting denied every time I tried to use it.

However, if you click checkout and then use the "Express Checkout" PayPal option at the top of the page , the PayPal checkout option will go with whatever you use as your primary address in PayPal. I was able to order using my CC with my physical shipping address (that does not match my billing address) by using PayPal.

Some users are vouching for Privacy.com - but I haven't used that so I can't say anything.

Cricket is having issues with their system, so if you can't even see the checkout option after selecting the phone & plan - try a different device (or browser) to checkout. Couldn't checkout on my laptop but refreshing every so often on my phone allowed me to checkout.

I dont get it... arent you adding the lines to your existing account? How can you have all lines be on different addresses? Or are you talking about opening new accounts for each order? Meaning $120 for the 2 months payment so each phone is 120?

This was advice from a sales rep through chat and it worked for me, despite needing to refresh every so often on my current iPhone.

I'm adding lines to an existing account.

You can add lines & have different addresses. Cricket doesn't care for the time being.

I think your problem was different. We are facing this issue on final step of order submission after accepting T&C.

Tried that but it's still using my real address. Unless you mean I also need to change my CC address to something different? I simply changed my primary on my paypal to another address.... but that's not what cricket is grabbing (so far).

And yeah, noticed some checkout issues. It seems to work on my ipad, but not my Pc. Just that it cancels after each order so far. I'll keep playing with it...

Again - I got the same issue. Could only complete the final step of order submission after trying on a different device.

However, I have no idea what internet/device/exact situation you are in so YMMV.

When you order 2 more 16e, you need to chang the name, which is same as on the credit card and credit card billing address (it does not have to be in same state). Must match the name on the credit card, billing and delivery address. You can use previous phone # and email address when you ordered the 1st 16e. As soon as ordered two 16e, the Cricket text you asking 2nd port in account # and pin #. And wait next day for shipping tracking #.

Yeah, it took a few tries for the address I attached to my card in PayPal to come through to the Cricket checkout. Wasn't grabbing the address at first for me either.
