Keep us updated if you find a work around. I have heard trying a different name on your address or a different shipping address might do the trick.
The workaround for the 3rd order was to wait a few days from the last denial and I entered a "1" into the apartment # box. It never worked for me before but it did that time.
I created a new line as suggested with US Mobile and they are refusing port out
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.
I am not sure if the FCC would back you up when buying a line just to port right out to another carrier. The whole idea of the FCC rule was so that people could keep their phone number and not have to get a new number every time they switched carriers. But clearly that isn't the case here if you are trying to port out a brand new number that you just got that day.
