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.

Hi - I got email - but when we click on link it redirects to you are all set - any idea what can be done
I got the same. If you already entered the port info during checkout I think it's just an automated email and once you click it, it then finds out you already added the port info. So hopefully it's nothing to worry about!

Did anyone tried to change to a cheaper plan after activating
If it's the 1st line with the 2 months service, you can downgrade after the 1st month is up, (starting with the 3rd month)

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.
Tried multiple devices and browsers with wifi and mobile data. Under what internet/device did you got sucess and what type of purchase (new vs port in) you had?

Quote from xseanx :
After 2 failed attempt to add (2) i13 for 4th/5th line, finally success on 3rd tried. new address/name/cc, old phone/email, done deal. already got email for 2nd number port in info. good luck all
I am also trying for 4th & 5th lines. Tried one 16e new number and one 13 port in, also tried with two 13 - one new & one port in. Changed name. address, phone using PP balance, no luck.
The port in is from Metro, not sure if it has anything to do with that.
Did you tried port in or new number?

Best combo based on comments here,
First 16e, Second and third 16e, Fourth and fifth 13.. Costing around $220
Expecting anything more than this would mean wasting your time.

I received phones today (2nd and 3rd line,) but when I tried to activate it says "Looks like your order has been canceled. Please verify the information you provided and place your order again". Anyone has the same issue?

Ported a US Mobile line, and the order got auto-cancelled. Seems like US Mobile still cancelled the line and is not able to restore it. If you're planning to port, it's probably worth entering incorrect information and correcting it once the order goes through.

Are you sure you didn't place a 4th line order before the 2nd +3rd arrived?

For everyone asking if Apple will take carrier-locked phones for trade-ins, I have confirmed the answer is YES, as long as the phone is paid off.
Just got 4 16e's in-store at a local Cricket B&M store yesterday, all new lines. All required 1 month of prepaid $60 service per line. Had to negotiate down the BS fees so the total out the door ended up being $700 for 4. I then immediately walked across the street to the Apple store and traded in 3 for $930 of Apple gift cards and the 4th applied as a trade-in for a new iPhone 17 Pro Max 256GB with a trade-in value of around $360. So instead of $1300 paid $700. It took them about an hour to do all the trade-ins and give me the new phone at the Apple store.
The Cricket website will only sell you 2 at the deal price per address. It comes to $306 for my first 2 phones in the online order but they block any further orders at the final stage of checkout if it's the same address.

Kudos to OP and whoever discovered this fun and convoluted loophole for a half price iPhone hack! 🫶🏆🤑
