or make you buy accessories and a service plan


Quote from thegoatgamer :
The deal details are different for in-store vs online. Online is roughly $190 for 3mos + device. In-store is roughly $115 for 1mo + device.

Have you done this? Because usually there are enough taxes and fees to make it over 200.
I just called my store and they said that I had to get insurance and that they charge taxes on full price of phone. It comes to around $190 so really worse than the online deal. I'm in SC

So... in a sense the 29.99 deal is just a false lie to get people to go in and attempt to do it

The 16e is not a bad phone. It does not have the better cameras but it does ok and AI cleans up poor pics nicely. Battery life is great and it's not too bulky in the pocket. Cricket isn't too bad. It's just AT&T lite.

i don't know, it felt to me that that store just lied, i checked with a different store which is far away from me and they said they have it, and with 1 month of service it would be around 150 after tax, so i am not sure whether to trust them or not

no, to unlock need 12 months of service. But you could trade it in at Apple Store or another provider's store for credit toward a phone with the carrier you want to use.
Have you done any trade in besides apple store? How s the other provider trade in looks like??

Will this work if I buy it porting a random line and use the phone for my existing cricket phone number?
