What's that deal ?
There was a deal at BB on Pixel 9 launch day, BB gave about $800 in trade-in value for iPhone 12, making new Pixel 9 $0 out of pocket. On top of that, in my state, BB didn't even charge sales tax on the new phone, so iPhone 12 and Pixel 9 was an even exchange.

With Metro's $75 iPhone 12 and $3 for Google Voice unlock, Pixel 9 was to be had for $78.

I'm not seeing the deal here for anyone who use one of the ubiquitous MVNOs.

The plan costs $900/year. Adding back the value of Prime gets us to $760/year, which is the all-in cost for the phone and a year of service.

Visible (as an example) costs $300/year. Add the cost of Prime and we're at $440/year.

The difference is about $320, which I'd suggest is effectively the cost of the phone. I can get a new iPhone 12 on Swappa right now for $329, and mint condition for $290. In exchange I'm locked with a provider for a year and can't take advantage of other potential deals during that time period.

What am I missing? Or is this deal more targeted at people paying full price for phone plans?
You don't need to keep the plan after the first month. Keep as a spare phone (unlocks after a year) or use for a trade in deal.

If you get the not eligible message when trying to add a new line, here's what is likely wrong:
- You have not activated your previous device.
- If you have activated the previous device, the port could be incomplete. You can call Metro CS and ask them to verify completion and expedite it if necessary.
- If you got halfway through a transaction and it failed (couldn't reserve number, tx declined, rejected by anti-fraud) that number will be on hold while the port clears and you won't be able to add a new line. Call Metro CS and ask them to cancel the port. You should then be able to add a line again, but you must use a different number to port unless you wait 24 hours.
- Bad IP. Sometimes IPs get throttled from the backend.

Also, BB gave a $100 egift card too.

I'm trying to use a Ting number but it is getting detected as Tmobile number and price went up to $299. Not sure what's wrong. I guess my ting number cannot be used here.

Yes, it's dead

Spectrum does have Pixel 9 Pro XL deal that's not half bad. More hoops to jump through but this would be good candidate for trade in there too I believe

Also offering free line you may be double dip there with

I'm a noob when it comes to these phone deals. I'm currently with Verizon but I would like something like this for my daughter. What does "requires number port in" mean? What's the easiest way to do this? Get the the device and cancel right away or a month later?
