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.

anyone have experience with a lyca port failing? I activated 2 days back, called lyca today and received my CIP and Account number not that long after by text. A few hours after getting the text I went to crickeet - I then tried porting in but the employee said it was reporting as port delayed. waited a good half hour -45 mins to no avail.
he said i should just try again tomorrow. anyone gone through this before? i also noticed that the lyca website is absolute trash since then and is not letting me login nor is it sending me an OTP. could this be a lyca problem?

is there anything I have to do after getting my acc/CIP after requesting to port out? i don't think so, right?

So far, here are my trade-ins with Apple.

5 iPhone 11 from Metro:
4 passed, 1 failed first run with Apple internal MRI (Mobile Resource Inspector). The tech re-run the failed one and it was passed on the second run. All 5 were accepted.
MRI can be accessed using these instructions: https://support.apple.com/en-us/101944

1 iPhone 15 from Boost:
Failed with Apple new web-based Smart Assessment MRI. Unauthorized modifications error. MRI was run at a different Apple Store. Same results. Tech told me serial is already saved on Apple server, so the results will be the same no matter where I go.
I performed phone internal MRI at home. All diagnostics passed, including the battery, with no error showing unauthorized modification. I documented the whole process, but Apple wouldn't even look at them. They only trust what's done in store by their employees.

4 iPhone 16e from Metro:
3 passed, 1 failed on the first run with Apple web-based Smart Assessment. Tech told me to try online trade-in. Based on my previous experiences, I didn't argue and just take the phone back. I will wait to trade in at another retailer.

5 iPhone 16e from Cricket:
All passed and accepted.
Did you transfer cricket e-sim to other phone?

You can't until you've gone past the initial month or two months if you did the 16e promo.
What will happen when I have 3 lines when I paid 150 for 3 month second line and 140 for 3 month third line? Will the second month charge just 110? If I port out the 2nd and 3rd line, can I use the credit for 1st line?

Not sure about using the credits towards the first line but this is a prepaid so as long as you're not on auto pay you won't be charged and the lines will just stop when the money stops. I only have one line I bought to use the phone so I am not familiar with family plans and how the credits work.

Just grabbed five more phones in store for 370Obviously more expensive because they charge tax on full price of phone but had no nonsense fees etc which was nice and the prior deal is dead anyways
Did you port in or get new numbers?

Now popup comes for two day free shipping instead of coupon. That shipping is already free with UPS two day delivery so useless.
