This is the first time i'm ordering something from metro, everything went smooth until i clicked check out, and was then prompted with "please contact us to complete your order".
Went ahead and contacted metro on the displayed number, was suggested there's some port out requests that need to come from visible. However, since they were not answering the call, I was suggested to call back tomorrow, and the porting would be done.
has anyone else experienced something like this? and suggestions to go about it ?
I got the error at the last min after payment info entered. Asked to talk to CS or refresh the page. Saw a pending charge. Did anybody experience the same?
I got the same error multiple times even after contacting customer service
Sooner or later will be activated by system. Locked to metro for one year
Are you saying we don't have to do anything after received the phone.
Sooner or later, the phone will be activated by Metro's system?
The phone is locked for one year, then will be unlocked after 1 year?

if you let the system self activated, it may have autopay enable and you will be charge going forward. At a minimum,
you need to open the box to receive the text message code so you can sign on to your account and disabled the autopay. the only way to saigon to your account is by enter the text message code. Unless you use a one time credit card use, you can let the system self activate.

Does anyone know which iOS version these are coming with? Looking to buy one so I can jailbreak it. Also looking at a iPhone 13 they have for 99$. Anyone with info would be great
You don't have to cancel the service. Just don't pay and it will be cancelled.
Is there any downside to trading in before the line expires? For example, activating the phone, deleting the SIM, resetting the phone, and then trading in before the first month? Could the new owner of the phone then get access to the phone number somehow? Seems like a weird question, but I don't know all the nuances there are to trading in phones.
With Visible's new promo code for the basic plan to cost $20 for the first 24 months, has anyone gotten a Visible number for free?? (Can you use the referral code and the promo code concurrently?)
Also, any limit to how many Visible line accounts one can open? I wanted to buy a second iPhone 12, after I activated my iPhone 12 yesterday (with port from Visible), but I don't know if I should use a different email account or try to open a new line on my previous account. TIA!
ETA: I really want to know because I would like to eventually keep my "primary" line's number active, and I think Visible or Visible+ will be the plan I'll want to get to remain active, so I don't want to be put on some list saying I can't get any more accounts at some point.

With Visible you are limited to one line per account. You will need to create separate accounts using a different email for each.
if you let the system self activated, it may have autopay enable and you will be charge going forward. At a minimum,

OK thanks. But if Metro system self activate, doesn't it need to successfully port in my number?
At the time of purchase, I entered the phone #, account #, and PIN, but the PIN only valid for 4-5 days. By the time when Metro try to do self activate, the PIN will no longer be valid.
