Same, I had tried to port-in a Visible number using a Metro account which got denied and now it seems that this number has been blacklisted system-wide as it's failing the "check this number" even if I am not logged into any Metro account. And it's been over 24hrs since the original denial.

Interesting. I tried the same. When logged in it says that I am not eligible for a 4th line. When I check a visible number without logging in it says that it's not eligible. I wonder if they are blacklisting all visible numbers now.

Ordered my first phone yesterday and I just got the email that it's shipped - how do I login to Metro site to activate it before I get my phone delivered?

I'm not sure if they can tell that the number is from Visible, because IIRC from when I tried yesterday (when the number check was passing) the carrier for the number was displayed as "VERIZON WIRELESS-CA Mobility", though I am not 100% certain of this.

$75 and all the hoopla for a 5 year old phone plus another year to unlock?

For some, phone isn't to use on Metro. It's for trade-in where it's valued $800 or more.

Two lines for $110 is excellent price for iPhone 12. This helps me keep my two year old iPhones as spares when I upgrade in T-Mo and give them their own 12 instead.

port in a number from TracFone, pretty sure I supplied correct acct and pin, it still said info is not correct

Tracfone has "retention team" blocking these requests.

Getting port out info is one problem. But then i went to metro store and the transfer failed for no reason. Then i went home and spent 1 hour calling the tracfone hotline. Somehow was able to escalate to 4th person who signed me up for a call back. I do not remember the full details, but basically i had to call Tracfone using the given internal number and tell them "metro worker is sending you the port out request, please allow it to go through now". Metro employee tried for second time and port out luckily went through.

Overall experience after i claimed to never use tracfone for metro deals. I did not feel ok calling some strange numbers (scam block and retention dept direct number), coordinating multiple people at the same time while losing my phone access because of the port out.

But it is definitely doable if you know the above trick - port out info is not enough, you need the person to unblock your port out requests.

So, this worked. How do I now login to my account to add another line? When I try to login - it asks for a 6 digit authentication code which I don't seem to get on my Visible number and the phone is not delivered yet.

apparently you get the 6 digit on your newly activated metro number once you open the phone after delivery.

oh! if so, how are people ordering a 2nd phone on the same existing account for $35 before the first phone being shipped over to them?

They're not -- they have their 1st phone in hand to access account

What is the point of activation before you get the phone. You need the actual phone to get the code to login to your account. I did the same. I use the link they send and activated.

That's for lines 2-4 after you have your 1st phone in hand to access account
