This worked really well for me. This is my second time doing this IPhone 12 deal. Used google voice the first time and visible for the second time. Apple offers $150 in trade in for these phones.
Total cost for this second order is $80. $5 for visible, $75 for Metro.
Right now, apple is offering a $155 gift card for the trade in (or $180 off the purchase of a new phone).
So I was able to place another order before my account was overdue but after receiving phone it is not activating and my account shows suspended because payment is due (I have already extended once so cannot extend again). Does anyone know it will be an issue if i don't activate in this case? Only thing i can think of that my visible line may not transfer and close so i have to make sure i cancel that but any other gotcha? Anyone else has experience with this situation.
If you plan to trade-in or keep the phones for 12 months till they get unlocked or use only on WiFi, no need to worry.
But if you want to use $25 plan on these phones or sell them, you need to pay bill and transfer these lines to any other personal device, so that these iPhones can be linked to a new line.
Has anyone used the mksd ultra v5.6 esim to use this phone on total wireless? I got the phone to open up w the total wireless sim but it just shows SOS and doesn't ever get service. Not sure if I have to change the sim application settings or something? Any help is much appreciated
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
How do I get a esim with out messing up my current phones service?

(I need a small internet device so I can care less about the sim but it's still nice to be able to unlock of course)

Unfortunately, this number can't be transferred. Try another number or choose a new number to continue.
