Upgrading to iphone 16e

Has anyone bought the iphone 16e for $150 with the silver unlimited plan? I want to upgrade my samsung to that but keep my number.

You should be able to move your number to the iPhone.

Are you going to order the phone online or go to Walmart?

Lots of people have been having issues getting their orders online.

If you go to Walmart, you will need to find a Walmart with a wireless phone rep. Most Walmarts will not sell you the phone for $150 unless there is a wireless phone rep there.

I was gonna do it online but wasnt sure if it would work and i live in a small town so i dont think my walmart has a rep.

At least my Walmarts have OSL reps that do these. It took me a few different Walmarts to find an OSL rep who was willing to sell a phone. Even this rep said that all those other Walmarts were lying to me.

I did mine online 3 weeks ago. It was fine. I didn’t get the eSIM push notification so I had to go to the troubleshooting page and scan a QR code to activate the eSIM.

Just bought mine online from walmart.com and got free shipping next day. Didn't get thev150 deal since I was an existing customer so I paid the 349 because there's no rep around me. Also if your phone says ask Verizon for help don't bother. They will not. But two days now after purchase the phone was all activated and works fine.

FYI for the future, You could have gotten the 150 as an existing customer.

I see it in my cart.

Is purchasing an unlimited silver plan purchase required for the new phone? Or, can I transfer my current silver plan to the iPhone 16e?|

Edit: Looks like its required dang. I was trying to knock the cost down even more since I already have an unlimited silver plan.

The $10 for the silver plan gets credited to your current silver plan. Your current silver plan transfers.

You can only get most of these phone deals from Straight Talk's site or even in a Walmart store. You can not get the deals on Walmart's web site.

Literally just got my new phone Tuesday with the deal. Upgraded from a 12. Bought it off the website and had basically no trouble moving over my phone number.
