Is this change for metro only? Where else can I get me a new reduced price iphone which, more often than not, requires a port in? And also, one that would work with a GV number. Need a replacement for my younger kid's iphone 7 that finally stopped working. It would only be used as a wifi device. Even used iphones are hard to find for under $100. In decent shape anyway.
There was a 13 for $240 on straight talk. OOS now. If you need to replace a 7 for the kid there is a slick deals thread for a refurbished se3 for $110 on straight talk that could fit the bill. 60 days and then unlocked. Deal is still active. $75 plus plan or so.
In prior times I got refurbished XR from then that was pretty much in top condition.
Contemplating grabbing one to exchange for SE4 in March. 😉

I was thinking the same thing. In the past getting a port number was a breeze now have to go through a lot of hoops.
eBay shuts those sellers down. Most of those sellers are on Slickdeals. Perhaps you can buy directly from them without the middleman. However, those port numbers price is much higher now than before.
I believe it's cheaper to go through Visible $5 than buying port numbers now, which are now priced around $15. But I see the convenience of buying port numbers especially if you don't have an unlocked phone with an eSIM to host the Visible number.
Same here! I'm trying to order my 5th line & no matter what I do, this bs shows up!
Same.. even I am unable to add 5th line since Saturday, all 3 attempts failed, had to call CC to cancel the port request and pending order request to show-up the Add-a-line option on the dashboard.
Every attempt I used different card and shipping address of my friends . But no luck yet ..
Appreciate if someone can share their success in adding 4 or 5 line since weekend ..

If anyone need visible number DM me.
Metro made things worse 😔
Trade one phone in for Apple GC then do a regular trade towards new iPhone using the other -- you can apply the Apple GC towards the purchase
Check how much each is worth as a GC and how much towards new device:
