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.

Sounds like some stores either don't check or more likely, don't care about the ID thing, and just make a new account anyway.

Very YMMV there. I need to find a store with a worker who hates his job and plans to quit...

I'll make the rounds today. I have 3 Metro numbers burning a hole in my pocket.

Also apparently a zombie line from straight talk, still attached to Metro, but I'll probably just leave that one be.

appears can change billing address on cricket website to anything so it won't match ID if go to store.

haven't been on this thread for a week and I still have 2 phones to trade in at Apple store. Are people having problems trading in phones in person? I see this "unauthorized modified" thing, what does this mean?

The cricket store near me just gave me 2, 16e for 90. He said I cannot add another line to get 3r phone for 110 but can create another account and do the same.
$90 each or for both? I got 2 for $210, am I doing this deal wrong?

What will you do with that phone? We bought it "brand new", What does Apple, Cricket or Metro say about that, We're take the loss? Sad.

Well, partial brain surgery complete. Esim transferred, set up on my SE using QR code, I see the esim in my other phone... but it doesn't seem to let me use it. SOS calls only.

Am I doing something wrong there? Once transferred to my new phone, I assumed I could use the plan like normal. Did I miss a step somewhere?
Change the eSIM to primary

Best Buy will give you a $200 gift card for the 16e, or go into the Apple store and ask for the genius bar to check your phone and show them the receipt that it is a brand new phone and has not been modified. That seems to have worked for some here, and the manager pushed through the approval. Good luck!

Thank for the advice. I have the phone but did not do anything yet. Do you know anything about sale tax at Applestore. Should I tradein for "giftcard" and later use it pay for a new unlocked phone, or tradein while buying a phone?

Didn't think of that, but got it fixed when a cricket rep just sent me a new esim QR code. Even Metro magically worked (on the 2nd day, 1st day it was complaining about plans not being compatible).

I had the same issue as you whenever I took advantage of TracFone's promo last Oct for the iPhone 13 since they had implemented eSIMs instead of offering physical SIM cards like the Total Wireless deal did. I figured it out after playing w/ the Settings menu (under Cellular) and I noticed the SIMs could be adjusted w/ one taking priority.
