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.

Does anyone know if cricket is still generating new user $25 coupon? I am not able to replicate with closing tab or browser
Popups are more rare, but still happen. Below is the code for those who will use it first:

If we ordered online already, do we have to make a "new" account in store? Or can we get the promo still with additional lines?

i've been trying to add 2 more lines to my account but keep getting order cancelation due to "unable to verify your information". my first order went through with paypal checkout and USmobile # port in. now this time porting Helium #, no paypal option and google checkout got error with addresses not matching ?!?! so I went though normal checkout and got cancelled twice now.
Also tried one local store and they quote me close to $190/phone.... they said 2 months, $120, activation $25, then over $50 in taxes... online order had no tax whatsoever, nor activation... Not sure how people reported $370 out the door for 5 phones...

hmmm.... we're allowed 5 lines/account. why can't we add lines in different orders...
also wasn't the 16e port-in was limited to 2 per order?
My first order was 9-10 days ago then despite port-in info wasn't correct for a few days, it wasn't cancelled. but now can't order more, even with 3mo prepaid but with multiline discounts, it's still decent

Update: rec'd the phone yesterday but didn't hey to activation until today. Activated in the app and the port went through instantly, even though the xfinity mobile pin was 4 days past its 24hr expiration. It would appear that the pin was verified at the time of the cricket order and once verified has some additional time frame to port it out and doesn't need a new pin. I then transferred the esim to my mother's iphone 13PM using the built-in iOS esim transfer feature and the cricket service is working fine on her phone. I'll try trading into apple later today if I can.

Also, in the cricket app it says the service only has 24 days left until renewal (2nd line with only 1 month prepaid). Shouldn't it have started today at activation?
Awesome data point. Please update us on how the trade in goes!

Just came from the apple Walnut Creek CA store. Both trade is went fine. Rep has to basically go through the setup process to get to the scan process. 1st one scanned all clear. 2nd one I think he messed something up in the initial setup so couldn't get to the scanning step, so just aborted it and manually checked off the conditions for trade in. If I include the $90 cap1 rewards for cricket, my total out of pocket was $60 for $610 in gift cards! Thanks OP.

Did you activate the devices and have the eSIMs transferred over to another device prior to doing the trade in?

Thanks for the data point worship

$370 for 5x phones is not farfetched or out of the ordinary. I only needed to buy one 16e when I visited one of the local Cricket stores in my area and they charged me $72 altogether. You just have to make sure they're not trying to upsell you or including any unnecessary accessories/add-on's to your order so that it comes out that way.
