I already have a visible account and was able to sucessfuly refer myself to get another line which I then ported out to metro. I am trying to get another line using the same thing and that line didnt activate is now under review.
Not sure what I screwed up but going to wait until tomorrow to try again.
different emails though
visible is easy
I ended up activating the line on metro , therefore closing the account in visible and then waited a bit and used the same IMEI to activate another line. No issues.
This time I used privacy.com with a random CC and address as well.
Pointing to their terms
We also do not allow the activation of lines for the purpose of abusing other carrier's port incentives. This is an abuse of our flexible plan offering to take advantage of our industry peers. Additionally, we will alert the other carriers of these actions such that they may take the appropriate measures.
I received email
"Since the line was newly activated with us, we're unable to share the port-out details at this time. We could provide this information if the line had been ported in or remained active with us for a longer period.
Additionally, as outlined in our terms and conditions, we do not allow the port out of newly activated lines since there's a risk of abusing other carrier's port incentives. To avoid such issues, we recommend purchasing a plan costing $10 or more for the line and maintaining it for a longer period.
If you wish, we can cancel the services for the line and provide a refund. Let us know your preference. "
and have requested again pointting to below. but thinking maybe just request refund and do it with Visible
Federal Law:
The FCC mandates that all carriers must allow customers to port their phone numbers to a new provider.

1. Month back I ordered iPhone 12 for $50 + $75 for plan on 1 email address
2. Created a new account and ordered iPhone 13 for $100 on the 2nd email address - Ported number from Xfinity.
3. Added another iPhone 13 on the 2nd email address account for $135 total - Ported number from Visible
4. Tried to place an order for iPhone 12 (3rd phone order on the 2nd email address account) and resulted in 'Please call support to complete the order". Used visible number this time as well.
5. Called customer service and they cancelled the porting and asked to place the order again. Did this 3 times in total before giving up. I also tried ordering from the iPhone 13 using 5G and adding apt in the address field to change the address, changed the name and also tried to use the capital one virtual card to use a new card. All 3 times it resulted into 'Call support to complete the order. I also tried to change the visible number using the chat bot. Finally gave up.
Anyone has any recommendation on how to place the 3rd order on the same account? I tried the suggestion after reading the thread, but doesn't look like it is working. Appreciate recommendations!
