I have read through a lot of posts….. but didn't see my question.I don't have any unlocked phones, only iPhone on Xfinity. Can you get the $5 visible number without having an unlocked phone or do I need to have one to get the number and activate?
Your question is pretty much your answer. If you have an iPhone locked to Xfinity, why would it work on another provider like Visible.

What happens when you do an IMEI check on Visible website for your Xfinity phone?
Both run on VZ network. See if it will work first before you try purchasing from Visible.
If you don't care about the phone number, just trade it in. Last year we traded two iPhone SE3 for iPhone 15 for full discount with T-Mobile and we just gave the box in-store brand new.
No need to wait. If you need the number, you need to move it to another phone as old phone will receive one time SMS and it is tied to the equipment.
well that sucks!why would they do that?I will goto my local apple store and ask before I actually do this. I suppose I can use the extra giftcards later but that kind of messes up the deal! I wonder if its because you are recieving the phone and then mailing in the trade in phone so they need to process the trade in after you have already paid....i wonder how that works in store.
For in store trade in (assuming all i12's), only one can be applied for $180 toward the purchase, the rest will be issued for $155 gc(s). And you can use the gc(s) to pay for the new phone.
Never mind. Looks like my visible account was not activated properly. Tried a reboot etc and made sure it's active and voila worked like a charm.. now wait for phone so I can do second line..
1st line.. getting this message.. just got a new number from visible. should wait for 24 hours? any help is appreciated. tia

Very common. Many folks including myself experience a 2 line limit. Some are able to add a tablet though.
I created my acct on 10/24, and was able to order 3 phones and no more. I had to open a new acct for family member with different address, I was able to order 2 phones then no more, wondering if metro has changed system to only allow 2 phones, any one is able to order 3rd or 4th recently?

I got cut off at 6 but I ported out a line after 5 to get back down to 4
Can't order any tablets now
May port another number to go back down to 4 and then try another iPhone
It's been a nightmare. Been trying to add a second line for days. It keeps erroring out on the website, and they keep canceling the port, and i have to wait 24 to try again. None of them can do it or fix it. I have 4 pending $35 charges from the failure. One guy even tried to create it as a seperate account then merge it i didn't approve that and now they're forcing me to go in store to fix it.

Does it create an issue during the process of transfer or they now support GV no transfer?
