Google Voice numbers don't get a discount on the cost of the phone at this time; multiple people in an active Metro iPhone 13 thread reported that (and I am one of the several who tried with a GV number and didn't get a discount on the phone). If you mean a discount on the charge for the line--it worked for me. $35 for the line.
Yes, I mean the charge for the line. After choose the plan, the charge in the cart shows 75. Does Metro keep the record for the previous port-in lines? I ported out one line already, so this should be my third line for this account, that could be the reason.

how come i am no longer eligible to add a line? i got the ip12 initially, i added ip 13 today. now i cant get another 12.
You can't add a line until your current order has shipped and fully activated -- if you ordered the iP13 today then you'll need to activate that first before trying to add another line

Can you please provide some details how how to get a visible number that can be ported out? They currently have a 15 day free trail but not sure if that number can be ported.
You need to sign up for the $25 Visible plan and use a referral code to get it for $5 ($20 discount) -- free trial line can't be ported out
Can't you trade it in to Apple for a gift card credit?
From what I've read in previous threads yes. But apple gc's are worthless to those of us in prepaid cellular world. Plus apple has the worst prices of anyone who sells Apple.

After you ported out one of your two phone lines, the existing phone line Flex plan will change from $35 to $75 per month. Metro also update the first month Flex plan cost for the one remaining phone and tell you to pay the difference immediately, but you can ignore it. When you tried to order another phone today, you are stuck with the full price of $75 for the Flex plan. That is because you ported out the number for your first phone.

So is it just pay 75 and keep the phone switched off for a year to get it unlocked?
You also need to finish online activation after it ships (or after you get it delivered) to complete the port process -- order tracking page on their website has the activation button

The fine print says you need to pay $50 to change plans after receiving the iPhone is this only for switching plans or also for canceling after the first month?

$50 fee for downgrading the plan if you want to keep using the service with cheaper plan -- nothing extra to pay if you just let the service expire after 1mo since its prepaid (you can also port out if there's another phone deal with another carrier)
