I came home, called customer service right away, and told the lady my two encounters with Metro corporate store, and asked her to confirm the statements by the rep at the store. She was shocked and apologized for the bad experience at the store. She told me adding line should actually save me money. Then she checked and merged my two lines to my primary account, reducing monthly for the second line from $60 to $60, instantly saving me $30 per month. She was also able to remove insurance which I didn't ask for at the store, crediting to my account.
Lesson learned - if corporate stores extort money from you with upsells + higher/more expensive plans, fraudulent statement, call customer service to verify and they can fix things in your favor. Even better, if you could call right from the store, so the store reps can't lie to you.

Where do you see the trade-in discount? I just see the $60 plan requirement in the fine print.
"Req. eligible port, ID validation & activation on $60/mo. plan. Receive $400 instant rebate of retail price. Additional restrictions apply. Tax on pre-rebate price. See store for details."

Not a terrible price, but not spectacular either. What would be the cheapest way to get a number to port to them? Does the number have to be active on the phone you are trading in?

$165 for a $500 phone is quite good given no impressive phone deals this year. The only down side is locked for 180 days.
