Would deleting the eSIM also be necessary?
Would deleting the eSIM also be necessary?
I was told that to unpair the phone you either need to do a device switch on the line or delete the eSIM. Deleting the eSIM is simplest but would require you to unseal the box of course.
- Port out lines 2, 3 (and possibly 4) to Numberbarn to "park" them so that the lines get cancelled and so that I can just pay for the single line for a second month? Then in the 3rd month, establish a cheaper plan with whichever company makes more sense (Visible, US Mobile). The reason for considering porting out lines 2-4 is that someone posted about porting out their 1st ($75) line and getting notified that they needed to pay $64 immediately. And I don't really have another unlocked phone that I could port my first line to...
- If I didn't pay for any line for a second month, I worry I'd lose the primary number I would like to keep.
Any suggestions for a more cost-efficient method?
sorry we are currently experiencing technical difficulties - I tried multiple browser and even new account but the issue is the same, any guesses what can help here?
What I was told by the porting team is that my account is too new. I need to wait at least 24 hours to place another order. Not sure if that's true but will give it a try tomorrow.
Let me know if you find a different solution.

So i plugged my TF number to check and metro shown approved but visit store. That is how i figured how TF works - would never buy TF for port out deals anymore.
do these have to be opened or can they be activated via email and just expire when plan doesnt renew
