Correct. I've hit a limit too. 5 lines. No matter what I try, I can't open any new lines under visible. Either get internal error messages or they just ban the email and tell me to sign up again using a different email with the same result. If anyone has another source of cheap numbers to port, I'm all ears. US mobile as well refused to give me port information. They said it's against their policy to port within the first 30 days on that low $5 plan

Pixel 6a has esim and you can buy for less than $100

Here has been my process trying to add as many lines as possible to one single account porting in Visible phone numbers. Hopefully this helps anyone that is struggling to figure it out.My 4th iPhone 12 is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. My process went like this: 1. Got phone number from Visible for $5 using friend referral code I found on Reddit and used Email address 1.2. Bought first phone for $75 on MetroPCS, delivery to address 1 using Credit Card 13. Activated phone upon delivery to complete port in.4. Got phone number from Visible for $5 using friend referral code I found on Reddit and used Email address 2.5. Added second line (AFTER ACTIVATION OF FIRST LINE) for $35, delivery to address 1 using Credit Card 16. Activated phone upon delivery to complete port in.7. Got phone number from Visible for $5 using friend referral code I found on Reddit and used Email address 3.8. Added third line (AFTER ACTIVATION OF SECOND LINE) for $35, delivery to address 1 using Credit Card 19. Activated phone upon delivery to complete port in.10. Got phone number from Visible for $5 using friend referral code I found on Reddit and used Email address 4.11. Added fourth line (AFTER ACTIVATION OF THIRD LINE) for $35, delivery to address 2 using Credit Card 2TOTAL SPENT AFTER 4 iPhone 12 orders - $240So far the whole process has taken about a week from making the MetroPCS account to receiving my 4th phone. Key things to remember:1. You won't be able to add a new line until the previous one has been activated so you will need to open the iPhone you receive and go through the activation process.2. Each phone takes a day or two to deliver.3. I've been able to get a number from Visible and then port it in to MetroPCS within 20 min of each other.4. Canceling the port in requires a 4 hour wait (according to the MetroPCS customer support) before you can try again.5. Each phone has to be activated in order for the 365 day window to open so it can be unlocked for any cell phone provider. Until then its locked to MetroPCS only. 6. Based on comments here, the best trade in value is for $155 at Apple, but that is in the form of a gift card. If using one to trade in that value goes to $180 towards an apple product at Apple, but that only works on one device.7. REMEMBER TO TURN OFF AUTOPAY ON ALL VISIBLE ACCOUNTS AND METROPCS ACCOUNTS!!!!!!I'll update this after I activate the 4th line. It's scheduled to deliver tomorrow.There's likely a cap at 5 lines so we'll see if I can order the last one after activating the 4th line and ship to Address 2 using Credit Card 2.Hope this helps.

Update on this. I was able to activate the 4th phone and add another line + order a 5th iPhone 12. I used Address 2 and Credit Card 2 with no issues outside of answering the security questions

All went smooth on 3rd line except the security questions. Same cc and address. Will order 4th tomo once 3rd iPhone ships by using a different cc but same address.

If I may ask, best money is trade in or your reselling?

I was able to resell one for $200 on FB Marketplace but I was explicit that it was locked to MetroPCS for a year. gonna keep one as a spare and use the rest to upgrade for a new phone. Been on an iPhone 12 myself since it first came out so it feels about time for an upgrade

This is quite painful, I regret getting involved in this deal. I can't add lines to any accounts and any time a port fails, the number ends up in limbo. Metro basically locked the number and it's no longer eligible to port

Traded my 3 12s at BB for $145.00 each. Have one more to do eventually. Nice little profit.

I have a feeling they cracked down on adding lines. Technically a promo like this is supposed to be one per account. same way Google voice and number barn stopping working.
