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.
Yeah if it detects as T-Mobile it won't work.
Quote from FabulousIdea3180 :
Where can I buy cheap non tmobile numbers to port it?
Find a Visible $20 off referral, $5 and can port out instantly. More reliable than numberbarn or Google Voice in my experience.

Edit: If you burn a Visible number for 24h with a failed transaction you can change it easily, so that's another advantage

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?
Port in means you must transfer an existing phone number from another carrier.
You can use Google Voice to claim a phone number if you don't have one you want to transfer, pay GV $3 to unlock that phone number, and then use that number to transfer to Metro.

BUT the phone will be locked to Metro for one year so you won't be able to use it with Verizon or any other carrier until Metro automatically unlocks it after that first year.
You don't need to continue service past the first month. You can throw it in a drawer and it will still unlock after one year.

I think most people on here are buying these to use as a trade-in rather than actually use them, That's what I did.
$75 iPhone 12 = $1000 AT&T trade-in.

$155 Apple GC trade-in value. Hmm..
Porting requirement makes this a little more messy. You either have to get a handful of burner numbers or port your own.

I'm trying to log in to my old account and it doesn't seem to exist anymore. Does Metro get rid of inactive accounts after a while?

Bought 3 in March deal. Traded one to Best Buy for a free Pixel 9. Others are backups for our daily drivers which are iPhone 14s. Great deal but can't justify getting another.
Wow!! Fantastic. Please let me know if you are in need of another daily driver. I will be happy to join

Is someone still trading the iPhone 12 for the pixel. I missed that launch deal because I couldn't find an iPhone 12

Does numberbarn give you a PIN and account number to enter in the METRO website during checkout?

Awesome! Thank you very much for the information. This was extremely helpful.

Do most carriers take this as trade-in even if its locked to Metro? Like Verizon if I wanted to trade-in?

Yes. There should be a separate tab for that. It will give you a drop down of all carriers and you can select metro there.
