Anyone who had this 16e for a week or longer manage to trade it in without that $0 value error?
Those 2 aren't related at all.

If I'm sending it in via mail, should I set it up after resetting it?

I traded in 4 16e and 1 phone 13. I had one 16e since Jan. Got another 16e one the free phone promo started and got 2 more 16e and iphone 13 4 days later. All traded in at full value. I had been using the Jan 16e since then.

I don't think when you ordered or how long you had it has anything to do with $0 trade coming back. I think some phones are just bad getting thru quality control.

good to hear. did u activate the 16e back in Jan? did you use it on and off with the eSim? your comment about QC makes sense though - now im just collecting data points for others to take note of

The code is not visible for me to copy anymore, but the trick for code to auto applied still works.

Anyone know the esim transfer process for cricket is no longer working with chat? I tried esim or esim transfer and the chat system said you need an agent. It didn't do an automated esim trander.

I went to gamestop yesterday to trade my 16e. The guy followed instructions on the computer while letting me see the screen, and the result was grade AA. Then he said that's not allowed for open box phone, and he went back and selected screen has scratches which resulted into grade A, bringing the vale down by about $40. My phone was new, unused and without any scratches. I only used for a few minutes only for activation. That looked dishonest, do I left without trading.

Anyone came across this situation? Any suggestions for higher gamestop trade in value? Is there a way to get gamestop pro membership for less than $5, temporarily, as pro members get 10% extra trade in value.

FWIW, I've tried adding a line with my same address a week later and even with the new 3 month prepay, it auto cancels the order. I also tried with privacy.com and tweaking the address slightly and that didn't work.

Quote from wangf7285 :
I have a question for anyone who has been successful in getting an online deal then in store AFTER.In store you obviously have to show ID. When you give your ID will they be able to tell you're a current customer? By like machine the address on ID to the address you had phones shipped to from online orders? Thus ineligible for any "new customer" discounts?
I went today again to the store to get 2 new lines ported out as a new customer, but the rep added the 2 new lines into my original account and give 2 16es for another 40. I was expecting to find out how did they identify new customer. Now I think I need to change address in the profile and go again there with anothern2 numbers.
