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.

No. On Cricket website, you can only do Port In for 2 numbers on the same acct.
That's for one order. Their T&C says 4 but it seems everyone in the threads before can get 3 for free.

Iphone only before trade in Android after the trade in. After trade in i called and had them create a QR code for the android. If you call in for this purpose they will need to send a verification code to one of the devices on that line. So if you traded them all in your done. If you have one on a line you can access your good. The other thing that maybe different is that i transferred and activated the esims directly from the iphones I didn't call then
Could you pleae advise how you transferred and activated the esims WITHOUT calling them and did this directly from the phone? Thanks.

I just did the trade-in today at Apple store after transferring esim to an unlocked Android(Pixel) phone. No issues, in and out of Apple store in under 10mins with $310 GC.
Can you use the chat to transfer the esim to an android phone? Or do you have to call?

In store, you only have to pay one month. As of this morning.
So I just made it back home after leaving the Cricket store nearest me, and I came out with a brand new iPhone 16e and everything worked out just like you said it would. I only had to pay for 1-month of service which totaled out to $72 (since the saleswoman probably charged me for their highest tier plan, but Idk) and I ported in my e-Sim number from Helium I paid $1.41 for which is cheaper than Google Voice. Thank you for responding to my comment b/c I was a/b to be depressed once the online deal ended till you saved the day 😁

I concur. $72 was how much I had to pay to leave out w/ 1x iPhone 16e after porting in my phone number.
S/N: I remember the saleswoman telling me that for some reason my address on my ID [being it was required to sell me the phone] was blacklisted which was probably due to me taking advantage of the promo already when I bought my first one online, but I didn't say anything a/b it. Her workaround was to use a different address w/ my zip code since Cricket doesn't really send out letters by mail and if I wanted to I could always change the address after the fact on my account.

Existing line. I used an app called Helium which I setup an account for and it was able to generate me a new e-SIM phone number which I had to pay $1.41 for so I could activate it on the phone I brought w/ me to Cricket. From there, I had to cancel my account through the app from the "Billing" section and it presented me w/ the PIN and Account # which I provided to saleswoman at Cricket who was then able to port out my phone # to my iPhone 16e. One thing of note: if you plan to go my route, make sure you're using a phone w/ dual SIM (eSIM =SIM).

Could you specify why you need to use a dual SIM phone? I usd Helium and was able to get the phone number, PIN even though I didn't have eSIM. Do they ask you to verify something through your phone number?
