I don't know if that trick really works, but I used it with the latest account (in my brother's name & address). After ordering two i12's in mid-Agust, I added APT 2A to the address for the subsequent orders. Was able to get two A9+ tablets, a Moto Edge 2024, and a Moto G Stylus 5G 2024 before they blocked further orders. See attachment.
In billing address and shipping address both?

I only changed the shipping address. I left the billing address alone to match the card's billing address.

Do you plan to sell it as LOCKED or UNLOCKED?I know this thread is about iPhone 12, but I'm going to provide some useful info. An iPhone is unlocked when its IMEI is added by Metro to an Apple database of unlocked phone. You can check the unlock status of an iPhone at www.IMEICheck.com [IMEICheck.com] or www.sickw.com [sickw.com] . With a Metro Android phone, you have to turn on the phone, turn on Wifi, then go into Settings-->Unlock to unlock it after it's eligible for unlocking. As such, you can leave a Metro iPhone in the sealed box and it can still get unlocked, but you'll have to take a Metro Android phone out of the box to unlock it.
I plan to sell it as Locked but sealed in the box. So here's what I did:
1. I activated my first iphone 12 with metro by t-mobile
  1. Got the second iphone12 as second line on the account
  2. Activated the second iphone 12
    Now I'd like to port out the second iphone 12 but in order to get the transfer pin it asked me to login to my account using that second line's phone number. So when I tried to create an account with that second phone number, it sent a text to the new phone with a code. How do I get that code without opening up the box?

You said you ordered the 2nd i12 in the same account, so I am assuming that the 1st phone is out of the box and can receive the security code to log into the account. If that's correct, request a transfer PIN for the 1st phone (you don't have to port out the 1st phone). The transfer PIN is THE SAME for all lines in an account. The account number is also the same for all lines in an account (that sounds obvious, but some companies like TracFone uses different account numbers for different lines in the same account).

Thank you soooo much! I didn't realize the pin was the same. You've been incredibly helpful to everyone here!

Yep, See attachment below. That worked to my benefit in a case similar to yours.

So now my issue is where do I port the two phone numbers out to? They're originally from Google Voice. I thought I could just port them back into GV but it's not letting me... I guess I could buy a couple of those StraightTalk phones that are on a frontpage deal now
