Adding a data point that, straight talk does not work. I'm sure the port info is correct, but when placing order after payment info, it keeps reporting errors, and let me fix port info, then let me find stores instead after a few tries.

Sounds like this deal is becoming impossible. I spent $7 on NumberBarn, no discount. GV and StraightTalk also no go, according to reports. That means most likely no TracFone or Total, either. Visible uncertain. TMo MVNOs also won't qualify. What's left?

I ported in a Tracfone number to Metro a month ago.

I had similar problem with the porting from TracFone. TracFone seems delaying the porting on purpose and asking you to confirm yourself the person to port out. I received the warning message from TracFone right after submitted the porting. Because of the delay, TracFone might reject the porting from Metro, after one or two tries, metro just doesn't try anymore,so nothing is wrong with the amount information if have the problem with TracFone porting. I'm a long-term visible user, if you need a referral code, please pm me. Thanks!

Quote from thaophuong73 :
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.
If I keep my main line open and port out my other two lines I should be able to order another ip12 for $35 correct?

I have never ported out of Metro for the reason that they might remove the discount for adding more lines.

I bought 3 free phones ($75 + $35 +$35) from Metro within a period of 15 days. My intention was to not pay for the second month of service. I ported out the phone number of the first phone that I bought. Right away Metro changed the Flex plan cost of the 2 remaining phones from $35 to $75 effective from the first month and beyond. I also got a text from Metro 611 stating that I had to immediately pay $64. I assume that was for the 2 remaining phone's first month of Flex plan adjustment. I checked my Metro online account several times and I did not see anywhere that I had to pay the $64. So I will just ignore it.
I don't know if porting out the second or third phone and leaving the first phone has the same effect. If I were to buy a fourth phone using the same account, I will probably be charged $75 for the Flex plan. So, no more discount.

If you ported out the two numbers with $35 the plan probably would have stayed the same and the discount as well. I have never ported out of Metro only canceled the lines.

Portout info is not available immediately. Atleast it was not for me. I am going to wait till tomorrow and see.
Were you able to figure this out? I think I might have screwed up something. I used the physical sim option while checking out since I did not want to activate anything on my esim.
Anyway to fix this?

need sign up with the esim, so the new line can be activated and new number can be assigned right away. Choose the basic plan $25, using referral code to give you another $20 discount, which ends with 5 bucks for the number.

If you choose physical sim then you won't have active service until you finish activation so you'll have to wait for the sim to come in (can't activate without sim) -- once you have active service then you can port out the new number

Better off doing eSIM for instant activation and option to port out

Maybe if their CS can do it -- otherwise they'll tell you to wait for physical sim, activate it and then convert to eSIM

Chat with them to see if possible -- otherwise you'll need to create a new Vis account:

I don't think they charge for your physical sim order until activation so you probably haven't paid anything yet
