My experience was as follows. I placed my 1st order Saturday at noon, using Boost numbers for porting in (used zeroes for SSNs). Got the cancellation notice about 24 hrs later that they couldn't verify my identity. Placed 2nd order last night with the intention of calling in this morning to verify identity. Was on hold for about an hour this morning, then they verified last 4 digits and address, and then the rep said that the accounts dept had already verified my credit info & identity, so it was not possible for me to get an order cancellation email saying they could not verify my identity. They said to wait for an email saying my order was complete and that sims had been shipped. Guess I'll just wait and see now.

So far I can't see a definite reason for some orders to be cancelled vs approved.
- New vs Existing customers: some new customers got approved.
- Boost numbers vs other carriers' numbers: some new customers successfully ported in Boost numbers.
- Multiple lines: some new customers were approved for 4-5 lines.
- Calling E-com vs not calling: some people were approved without calling; one person called, was told the order was OK and would be approved, yet still got cancelled. One called and was told to go to the store.
All order shipped out after port info is confirmed(?)

Just a guess, maybe ATT sees that you have an inquiry from other carrier(s)? I think they can see your soft inquiries history from other companies when they hard pull you and decide to deny you? (Need someone who is not on the sprint, tmo or Verizon deal to confirm it)
Totally a hit or miss scenario,

Yes, you might be correct. ATT might be using the credit report to check enquiries from other companies. I was not on any of the other deals

You should check your port request at att.com/port to see if they have initiated the porting process...they may auto-cancel your order after 24-48 hrs if the port isn't confirmed by previous carrier.
Porting Department: 1-888-898-7685
Port Status Check: 866.895.1097

I actually believe these two numbers function the same, they both can initiate port, check number transfer status, correct porting info

You said one of 5 lines had an error, did the att.com/port ask you to correct it? It should allow you to correct the wrong info manually, if not asking you to correct anything, either could be your previous carrier has not received/confirmed the port. So glad you made it work out for you.
You should not have any problems with your 5th line regarding the reward card b/c you signed up online during promo period, you ported in all 5 lines from Tmo(ATT will know whether number is ported or given by ATT), each voice line has its own unique IMEI(you have 5 different phones to use) and just to keep lines active for 45 days to receive redemption instruction email/letter and keep active services through reward card fulfillment process.

I believe this is physical prepaid cards promo, so Make sure your ATT service address/billing address is your current living address so you can receive ATT monthly statement, redemption instruction if sent via mail, reward cards in around 2.5 to 3 months later.

Also, you better confirm whether or not Signature discount/FAN account is combinable with this $250 promo. If not sure, better to opt in later after you receive the $250 from ATT

FYI, Credit card's billing address, which is different from ATT service address, is not that important to ATT as long as CC info are correct(charge will go through), and the transaction is authorized(not using a stolen card) because you can have someone with different address to pay for your ATT bill.

You speculate a lot in your posts. This AT&T account was being opened using my wife's name, which had a soft pull from T-mo. Soft pull leaves no record in your file.

Yeah that was odd, when checking on att.com/port I did not have the option to correct it. When I called the port center, I confirmed the T-Mobile acct number and PIN, which was correct in their system...the lady at the call center thought maybe the connection timed out but everything was correct, which is why I didn't have the option online to fix anything. Glad it worked out.

I confirmed online with CS that Signature discount was allowed with the $250/line promo, but I didn't want to add another variable to the mix so I did not activate the signature discount (I don't get a discount anyway on the unlimited starter plan), so I figured I would just opt in once I received my rewards cards and then change my plan to the higher unlimited plan for 5 lines at $175+taxes/fees each month.

So address A is the service address for all lines, and address B is the billing address. I take it in like 45 days the redemption instructions will be sent to address B? if sent by mail.

I did do temporary USPS mail forwarding from address B to address A for now. Once I move back to address B I will then change the service address for one of my lines (from address A to address B). Had to temp move due to current events.

I'm more inclined to think that the old carrier must confirm porting info before order shipment is the reason. As one person said ATT's Credit Dept verified identity already with hard pull. Porting info confirmation is another form of identity verification to make sure you are the legally account holder of these lines.
After order is submitted, ppl can actually start the porting process by calling porting dept, Once your number is on att network, you are an ATT customer officially.

Too much work. I am out. After two days, they finally send me an email indicating something wrong with my application. Called the number provided, which was picked up within 3 mins. Then transferred to credit verification. Was then told I have a block on my credit bureau, which I do...... but maybe I want an account with at&t, so don't have to do it again. More power to those who got it to work.

That's what I suspect as well. I've got a few TracFone lines from that deal so I'm going to try and port one in to see if that creates the account.

Ok, I'm wrong about the companies doing hard pull can see soft inquiries. I can see my soft inquiries when I got my free report from AnnualCreditReport.com so I assumed the companies doing hard pull will do the same. However, An article from CreditKarma says soft inquiries are only visible to SSN holder only when they get their credit report.

Before I read the FAQ sections from ATT about porting, I really thought order cancellation has something to do with credit approval similar to sprint limiting ppl to 5 lines with NCC and Tmo also has line limitations based on credit history. Now I strongly believe it also has something to do with porting request confirmation as ppl wondered earlier will boost mobile number work or not. Porting info confirmation from old carrier matters

Does it have to be a port in or could it be a new line on an existing account?
