Under Settings > Account > Google Voice number, make sure to 'Unlock'
Account # is your GV phone #
Pin you have to create in your GV account settings by toggling on "Call to listen" under voicemail settings.
later during activation/port at Total site, use "other" as your current provider.\
Based on info in this thread as well as info found on google, it is recommended to use google's address if you are porting a GV number and are asked for an address when providing port info for your 'old carrier':

:
If your new carrier asks for an address, you can provide them with Google's Address: 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043. That's it! Once you've provided your new carrier with the necessary information, they should be able to port your Google Voice number over to their service.

Once activated, Text UNLOCK to 611611 (send it twice, it wont work first time) to confirm your unlock date. (approx. 60 days) The unlock is automatic and sent from apple servers. And it will unlock from anywhere in the world.
Bypass port in requirement for activation
YMMV Bypass port requirement After getting device activate on total website at top click Activate>New Phone One you've purchased through Total Wireless>I want a newer number. Plan was tied to phone IMEI on activation.
YMMV, you can activate your phone on tracfone.com with new number directly to bypass port in requirement and the cost is $10 But please be reminded, after you input the imei on tracfone.com, you prepaid balance for your total-by-verizon will be lost and your phone will be rebrand to tracfone and you can't activate it on total-by-verizon wihout rebranding it back to total-by-verizon
You are NOT required to pay for a second month of service!
**Confirmed it doesn't work with a Verizon prepaid SIM card inserted 24 hours after activating the phone on Total VZ sim card.
Chase 15% Offer Details (YMMV / Targeted)
NOTE - this deal is YMMV / Targeted. I have several chase credit cards, but the offer only appears on 2 of the cards.
1) Log into chase.com account
2) Accounts tab -> (top left of screen)
3) On the right hand side of the screen you will see a "Chase offers" panel, click it
4) Top right corner there is a "choose account" drop down. If you have multiple chase cards, you will have to cycle through all of them and check the deals below that appear. not all of them will have the Verizon offer (hence YMMV)
5) If you see "Total by Verizon" deal then click on the "+" to add the offer to your card. NOTE - Remember which card you added it to (i.e the last 4 digits of the card)
When checking out on TotalByVerizon.com, use the Chase credit card that you added the offer to, to pay for the phone.
You will get an email notification a few days later, if successful (Subject "Congrats! You've successfully redeemed one of your Chase Offers")

I had an iPhone 11 up until 2023 and the main issue was that the chip would get crazy hot. Battery was also affected by that

Once they port, Does it matter if the Google Voice number got inactive after 30 days of Inactivity.? - because the number is already switched??
Also saw someone posting only month payment is enough , doesn't have to make another.. How to skip the 2nd month payment ? -- Does it invalidate the promotion if we skip?
Also i did not unlock the google voice number with $3 like others were discussing, Should i?
Sorry i'm a noob here. Please comment.

One thing I do is not update operating system to latest. New OS will cause older devices to slow down. I am still on iOS 16.xx.

Just to understand if I am understanding the steps correctly,
Step#1 :- Order Iphone11 with $50 monthly, comes as $107 for CT with Google Voice no as port out no.
Step#2: Unlock the Google Voice No with $3
Step#3:Activate the New phone in Total by Verizon website
Step#4
Step#5:- Check if Autopay is Off in the Total site(As i do not want to pay for 2nd Month service)
Step#6:- I can use the phone using wifi after 1 month but it will still be locked for 2nd Month
I am a noob here. Please reply if you see any issues in those steps.
PS: I know all these steps might be already there but browsing 100 pages for the info is a pain. Also, Chase 15% probably gone now.
And I'd use the SIM card to activate it when you do it … that seems to be the most commonly used method. The SIM never actually needs to be touched or inserted into the phone since the number is linked to that phone / line.

If you experience port out difficulties and you're a Reddit user you may want to contact

Yes it would be Xfinity mobile, or Mint if they have a cheap family plan.
From what I'm reading the lock status <60 days wouldn't prevent port over to XM?
