Did you have to port in a phone number for each phone? Phone 2, phone 3 and phone 4.
Yes. 2 numbers i bought from ebay but then next 2 was google voice which i linked to first 2 metro pcs numbers 😂 remember you can only order 1 phone at a time. You won't be able to place new order until you activate the most recent one.

It's not really a contract because you can pay off the phone anytime you like and they will unlock it then. But then you screw yourself because you lose that $1,000 trade-in credit.
If you're going to stay with AT&T anyway for 3 years its a no-brainer.
If you want the freedom to move from carrier to carrier and from phone to phone then it's not.
After doing the 1k trade in, does the 3 years with ATT have to be on one of their post-paid plans ? I assume those are all higher priced plans. Or can it be a less expensive ATT prepaid plan ?

I am not sure how all this works, can you please explain, i want to buy a phone to my sister in India, is there any way i can get this at this cost or at cheap or can use this as trade in. I am with Verizon for next 1 year.

I heard TMobile offers pay off your balance in ATT if you switch to TMobile. And TMobile doesn't require a contract, that way can still go back to freedom?

Yes, it's based on a $27.78 monthly credit for 36mo while on a post paid plan. No prepaid plans. You can get the Value Plus VL plan which is their basic unlimited plan for $48.49/mo if you do auto payment with a debit card. You can now add the yearly upgrade option for $10/mo and get a new phone every year after 33% of the credits have been paid.

How do you port in a Google voice number? Unlock for $3 but how do you get the port pin?

Porting requirement makes this a little more messy. You either have to get a handful of burner numbers or port your own.
Yeah.. it is a hassle but not too bad if you know how to do things quickly.

I just did one so I can trade it in for $155 Apple GC. I still had 6 days left on account on my previous 2 x iPhone12 from MetroPCS deal. Just added the third line for $35 plus $3 paid to GoogleVoice for a new number port out.
I tried to setup another GoogleVoice using a different gmail but now it won't let me assign another number.

All those other carrier deals offering steep discount on iPhone 16 series are always in forms of bill credit over 24-36 months which really sucks, phone being locked to that carrier making it even worse.
I realized to get an unlocked iPhone Pro Max next year, I will have to buy from Apple directly without any discount so I'm collecting Apple GCs for now.
