Is porting from a visible number still working? I've done several ports from visible in the past and when the order does not go through I would usually had to wait a few hours to try the same number again. Now it's been more than 24 hours and it still says the visible number can't be transferred.

So you are saying the activation is tied to actually turning on the phone and using it vs the activation message we receive from Metro? I am hoping to not having to turn the phone on so as to preserve the 1 year warranty date.. Will this cause conflict with the unlock in 1 year?

You need to turn on the phone to complete phone activation. Email activation message is for account.

Here is unlock policy. It is device, not account.
Three hundred sixty-five (365) days must have passed since the device's activation date.

So the activation was for the line, after the port in. But I guess from what I have read so far, I have to turn the phone on... Anyone has any experience otherwise?

Ouch. I was hoping to prevent that and maybe have it unlocked...

You need to open the box and turn on the phone. Otherwise it will stay locked

I placed my order today and so far no error messages about my visible port from Metro or visible. Activated visible by porting a number from US Mobile on October 23rd if that helps or makes a difference. Got the email from visible about a port request a minute before getting my Metro order confirmation this morning.

Wouldn't it just keep charging late fees and stuff? Are you tied to an agreement or can you officially cancel the service?

Ohhhhh okay yeah I understand now thank you! Basically don't have autopay on and your good after you pay the first month (due to the balance being set already) also I got the iPhone 13 and wanted to get the 12 as well since it's free at the moment besides the one month, what's the cheapest service that you would recommend to get a number ported I did visible already for $5 for a month

Any phone that is FREE, you only pay for the $35 (discounted service). The iphone 12 will only cost you $35 but you have to port in a phone number.

need sign up with the esim, so the new line can be activated and new number can be assigned right away. Choose the basic plan $25, using referral code to give you another $20 discount, which ends with 5 bucks for the number.

How do you activate right away when you haven't receive the phone yet?

I have read a couple of times that if select IOS, when picking the type of device, it generates the account and phone number automatically for you? Is this true?

Can you get port out info automatically without ever having to load the esim to your phone then?

You are referring to Visible right? When you sign up they will give you some number prefixes to choose from, and once you do they will show you the number. Regarding your second question, that is a good question. I do know that they do not send a OTP to get the port out info, however I am not sure what happens if you don't install the eSIM. I can give it a try for my next line.

Anyone know how to get around this error? Trying to port in a visible number, the last 2 worked fine, "Unfortunately, this number can't be transferred. Try another number or choose a new number to continue."

I was checking out and think I screwed up the security questions. How can I fix this?

This happened to me one time, though my case wasn't related to the security questions. It didn't go away after more than 48hrs. Then I found out how easy it was to request a new number from Visible so I did, and I was able to order another phone using the new number.
