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.

Got 2 gcs from apple just now
I'm trying a lyca port for another 16e, but getting "port delayed". They couldn't proceed after that. I feel like that store rep doesn't want anything to do with me at this point. And what about this comment from reddit:

"The representative needs to use the coupon code CHECKID. They probably can't find the coupon code entry because Aktivate recently updated and they changed where it is. If you DM me I can send them specific instructions.
Store manager here."
Is this true? The heck is "Aktivate"?

If you activate lyca and immediately try to port out it will be delayed. I also had the same issue and next day it went fine.

I just wanted to ask about the 2 Straight Talk lines you used. Were you paying for those lines monthly in order to wait for another deal or do they let you pay a small fee and park the numbers?
If you took ST for phone deals you usually pay for 1 month and then you keep it for expire. During the inactive period anytime you contact support and they will do courtesy activation for 2 or 3 days to get the PIN created fof transfer.

Thanks! So you don't activate the line on your phone, right? How long before they expire?

You don't need to activate the lines until you want it. It's like Tracfone. Right now, ST offering $100 for 2 Samsung A17 and 2 Moto G Power 2025 for $100($45+30+15+10) with 4 Silver Unlimited plans. With auto pay. Uncheck auto pay after you received the order.
Thanks a lot! Are you able to sell those phones, even though they're locked to ST?

They can be sold. Only question is how much pain you want to deal with when trying to sell them. And don't expect a ton.

I sold one of the Samsungs (kept the other to use with my watch) on my marketplace.

Others may have better luck than me, but all I got was $50. And it was painful. Dealing with marketplace can be super annoying at times. Also pretty sure 90%+ of marketplace people can't read -- I had to explain many many times to people that the phone was locked.

Thanks, this was correct. However at first it still came up as port delay. In the 5 mins I spent complaining about it to the rep, the screen changed from port delay to port authorized.

I believe today is the last day for the in store offer. It's Get iPhone 16E for 1 dollar with a 60 dollar plan when you port in a number. You can do this 4 times. I suggest getting 4 visible esims which will transfer over to cricket. Along with this there is a 25 dollar activation fee with each phone.
Make sure the tech runs "CHECKID" as the promo code.
This makes the 4 lines at $130, and each phone 1 dollar, and $100 for the activation. 234 + rough taxes and I paid around 300 for 4 lines.
Visible has perpaid lines for 20 dollars a month with the code "fresh start" you can do 2 sims per current iPhone.
You'll need different emails for each line but that's easy.
That's 80 in 4 esims to transfer over.
Make sure you turn off autopay so you don't get ch by cricket after the first month.

I was also today today was the last day for the store deal, but the employee didn't seem sure. Is it confirmed?

I ordered a Moto Stylus as a new user recently and it's getting delivered tomorrow. I was hoping snag at least one 16e in store deal before the deal expired, but Cricket delayed my order with processing delays.
