how much out of pocket and what carrier did you port from?
Purchased the cheapest eSim from US Mobile (About $5.41 custom plan). First phone was $128.95 and second $105.42. They added the $12 protection plan on both phones but it's ok for me. $620 gift card secured

Good Price. 12 mth of service is long
You dont buy this phone for the service, you buy it to flip in for TIV. You need to be careful on these because they make you go $60 for at least 2 months then you can merge into a fam plan. So after all that is it still worth it, IDK. I have a stack of Cricket phones I give to people when they comped them to me.

If you trade in this phone in person at an Apple Store, do you still get a gift card or can the trade be applied to the purchase of the 17e?

I'm contemplating a switch from AT&T to Cricket to save on service cost. How is the network these days? The test drive gives a sample, but I'm hoping for some long term feedback. TIA!
Go to USM dark star (ATT) its cheaper and better. Same service but far better international roaming, hotspot, have 3 lines on it went from ATT biz. Cricket just sucks.

Not sure where you got the list, but I just did this successfully last week. Redpocket is nice because you can do everything on their website.

either or. I bought two 16e phones from cricket last month in store, literally drove to Apple after and traded them both in. They make you do them on separate transactions for gift cards. Since I wanted to get an unlocked 17e, one phone trade in went onto a gift card. The second one went towards the price of the 17e and then the gift card was used. Paid $4 out of pocket for that transaction. All in my total cost was $360 for a $600 17e.

thanks. I really don't like having gift cards for future purchases. Seems I forget about them, and sometimes they get lost. I would just as soon use them right away.

Try using Google Pay or Paypal instead of entering a credit card number. That worked for me yesterday, but my order keeps getting cancelled. Cricket can't tell me why I suspect it is something with the IMEI I enter, as the phone isn't compatible with their network, but I am only attempting to port the number, not use the phone..... Really frustrating dealing with Cricket

$190 minus the $25 off "don't leave" coupon. Then Capital One Offers (just checked and it was at $7 back a few days ago, it's now actually $26 so even slicker!)https://imgur.com/a/ffRGdm3
Where can I find the "Don't leave" coupon?
