You actually don't even need the phone at all. Sounds weird, but as long as you enter an IMEI that passes their compatibility check and qualifies you for the promo, you can just order the SIM and then activate it online. No need to put the sim into a phone at all to activate it. Once it is activated online the service is started, and that is what counts for the 90 days of active service terms.

True story, for this promo I used the IMEI of an iPhone 12 that I got from visible and had already sold(!), but still had the IMEI written down somewhere, and used that to pass the compatibility check and order the SIM card. Once I got the shipping confirmation the next day, I activated my service online (select "I already rec'd my SIM card'), and ported in my expiring Tello number...all before receiving the physical SIM card, which looks like it will be delivered tomorrow.

I've done this BYOD promo several times over the years and never had a problem receiving the git card. They don't check if you are actually using the SIM or phone it was signed up with, just that you have the active line and are paying the bills. Of course, YMMV!

I looked at their site and do not see any option for talk/text only. I also see that you must have Xfinity internet, so many of us do not have any options with them. For those of you who do, sounds like a nice deal.

I used google voice number in the past for BYOD promo and always work. you need to unlock your google voice number from google unlock page [google.com] and pay $3. I recommended to change your voicemail PIN in the google voice setting. This is going to be used by mobile provider for porting. After you complete the unlocking of your GV number, go to xfinity website and place the BYOD order. You should be able to select google voice as your carrier and select "keep my number" to use your GV number. Xfinity will send you the sim card. The porting process start once you receive your sim card and start the activation process. It may take few days to complete the activation. As long as you provide the GV number account information correctly including the PIN (use GV number if you never setup PIN), the porting should be smooth and easy. At the end you need only to pay extra $2 per month for an additional line within the shared plan. .

tl:dr; You can start the porting process BEFORE you receive the physical SIM card from XM

My Tello account expires in about 5 days, so I was cutting it close in order to port the number before the plan ends. But I got my SIM card shipping confirmation about an hour ago, so I logged into my XM account online and started the activation process for the new line. For Tello, you will need your account number (you can get that in your tello account) and PIN which is 0000. During the activation process I had selected "Other/Not sure" as the carrier, entered the number I was porting and the required account number and PIN 0000. Only took about 5 minutes and I got the confirmation screen that my number was transferred. I logged into my tello account and the line was removed from my account there.

Is this detected by real device in the network or page I enter the IMEI, because I may use iPhone 12 Pro at first months and use OnePlus or some other device device, otherwise I may just activate and put SIM Card in my drawer awaiting three months.

For those of you brining over Google Voice numbers, how are you activating them on XM without actual phones/IMEI?

I'm using an actual phone. You can't port a number without a physical phone to my knowledge.

yes. That's the real constraint for this MoneyMaker.

You need to use a recent Galaxy or IPhone 6+ I think..

Can I get the $200 bonus without using their service at all?

I have a locked iPhone that passed their compatibility inspection. Can I use it to open a BYOP account but not use their service, just pay for three months to get $200 profiting $155?

The approach works with visible. I used locked phones to open accounts, and just pay for the first several months and profit.

once activated, I don't think they care if you use their service or not - well as long as you pay

Did they just upgrade their network or something? I remember checking device compatibility during summer on their website and it passed. I just checked it now and it said my phone (Google Pixel 3a XL) isn't compatible.
