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.

So, taxes was like $130.
No.... Taxes was less than $20 at the store.

I wasn't trying to maximize getting the cheapest price for 3 phones. I wanted 3 phones now that I could trade in today, after seeing plenty of comments of people being turned away. I have no confidence this deal will last much longer.

The $599 will only disappear if you port-in another number.

You'll need to use PayPal (or something like Privacy.com - but I haven't used that) in order to buy another phone because Cricket is not allowing multiple orders to the same address.

Just to be clear - 1st order/line & port in will cost $120. 2nd order/line and port-in will cost $30. Third order/line and port-in will cost $20.

Cricket was allowing the same address to be used for multiple orders, but has now stopped that. They will cancel your order every time you use an address you used before.

They are also having issues with their system overall - so maybe better to try in a few hours when most people are asleep and definitely better to try ordering on a different browser or device if you get the "our system is struggling" error when you try to check out.
I am porting in number though, and its $599 for phone, this is 4th line. I need the 4th phone to actually use im not doing trade ins.

Got it!

No one has had success getting a stacking discount for the 4th phone.

You are better off getting the iPhone 13 deal now.

Wondering if using abbreviations in address counts as different addresses or the same one, and if the system recognizes Apt/Unit/# as different ones.

Here's my order history:
Last week I ordered my first iPhone 16e using a new number and the new customer $25 discount. I received it and activated it on Monday, about $140 ish.
Then I ordered two more iPhone 16e and ported both numbers in from Helium. I received and activated those yesterday, around $50 total.
Tonight I ordered one more iPhone 16e using a new number plus an iPhone 13 with port in (Mobile X). Because if I port in for the ip16e, it jumps to full price . The total came out to about $158. I had to use a different credit card and a different shipping/billing address, and it looks like it worked since I haven't received any cancellation email yet.

I guess I'll come back and report here if it ships tomorrow..

A couple people have already reporting their orders going through but being cancelled shortly after.

Better to use a different address if possible.

Maybe it worked this time... possibly... maybe...

At least it wasn't automatically cancelled. This time I used a Serve card (remember those things?) ... which of course didn't have enough on it, but I did the paypal balance first option. And changed addresses in the Serve and Paypal ahead of time.

So maybe? I did get a message on the number I am transferring from to verify my acct info, so that was further along than my other tries.

As long as you don't make a mistake verifying your account info, you should be good to go!

New address? If you got that message I would have to assume you are good.

Yeah, I doublechecked, but knowing my luck I mistyped or something... I wasn't aware it'd even ask to verify. Lucky I heard the little 'ding' from my phone with the message.

Yep... same name however, which I hope is okay (and what was on my card, so figured I couldn't change that). But different address.
