Ordered one. Quick question though: can I just cancel the visible service after I receive a phone? I'm going to use this phone with my cricket sim card right out the box so I just don't want them to charge me for activation fee and all that.
There is no activation fee. Its $25 for first mo with referral and then you join party so its 2nd month $25 too. If you port in you get $200 after the 2 $25 pmts and cancel
No, correct. They shipped my order even though there was an issue with the ZIP. I fixed it using the link they give you after the phone was already on the way. They won't hold the order. I got a confirmation email the port was good to go after I fixed it.
You can port from Tello but you will NOT receive the MasterCard or the gift. I tried in March and followed up multiple times asking for reconsideration and it was a dead end.
Suggest you buy this phone and never activate on Visible. They will only charge you for the phone, you won't pay for first month of service.
You will likely need a new Tello SIM, but I think they will send one free or almost free.
Thanks for let me know. That was a good idea, but I don't really want to spend $784 on a phone. Only want to get it if price is $784 - $200 gc = $584.

so by "won't hold the order" you meant they won't delay it and still continue? i thought you were implying they'll cancel the entire order.
Finally!!! Just got one! I've been trying to get this deal for a while. I lost it once because my current provider makes you jump through 10,000 hoops to get a port out pin and then I had issues with my card provider flagging my account then visible not accepting my card. My best advice for anyone trying to get this deal but misses it is go ahead and get all your port out info, request a port out pin weekly, add iPhone 12 Pro to your deal alerts, go ahead and create a visible online account and use PayPal. For me 3rd time was the charm.
I'll second that excellent advice! I went through the exact same thing.
Set up a Slickdeals alert and jump on it as soon as you see it - I also needed 3 tries to get in on this deal as it sells out within hours
Make sure you already have the account number and password (or PIN) for the provider you're porting in from. Visible's website wouldn't accept my extra-long password so I had to reset my AT&T PIN and put that in instead.
Be ready to use PayPal - Visible only accepts credit cards and PayPal & my credit card refused to go through multiple times. PayPal using that exact same card processed on the first try.
Good luck!

Yes, even you can activate the sim in other device as well. To get rebate, they just need two month service fee.
Do I need to use their SIM at all after initially activating the service to get the rebate? Basically, if I just activate the service with their SIM and then throw their SIM away, will I still get the rebate?

reddit ?
I was afraid Tello is not Sprint/T-Mobile, and Tello is not on their list, so will not get the $200 gc.

If it's not on that list they will not budge!!
I had H20 wireless on the previous sale and they ported the number. Maybe they are stricter now,
