For trying to get a visible number to port fast, do both esim and physical sim work for that? What's the best way to go? I'd be putting it on my other phone only if needed and for a few minutes to make this work. Thanks.

I purchased 2 when they were $99, and although locked for 1 year they've been working flawlessly for several months now on Tello using MKSD Ultra V5.6
Do you have any issue with iMessage and Facetime?

What happens if I don't finish the port in? Will I get charged back for the non-port in price?

Visible eSIM is instant service activation if you have a compatible phone and you can get your port out info right away

Otherwise you'll need to wait for physical Visible sim to come in the mail in order to finish activation and get port out info

I'm trying to get this deal by porting in a number to my existing Metro account (currently has 2 IP12's on Flex Plus), but I keep getting the "Payment Reject" screen after submitting the order, asking me to please stop at a Metro Store to complete my order? Why does this happen? I've tried multiple different credit cards/ addresses, etc.

So to make sure i understand this correctly...
I am currently a visible user who pays monthly. I could take advantage of this deal by opening a metro t-mobile account and porting over my number. Then buying the phone at 49.99. Total cost around $125-$135.
I use the iphone for a month then let it lapse (what would this mean, just not paying my bill tge second month?). Then a year later my iphone would be unlocked and i could use it with any service, even back to visible?

Quote from cheeknowe :
So, just to clarify: you can purchase this, pay for one month's service, let it lapse, and it automatically unlocks 12 months after initial activation?
My Moto phone from Metro bought more than a year ago. Still not able to unlock. "Device must be used on this phone number for 180 days" message when try to unlock

If we only use it for a month and then use it with T-Mobile postpaid line instead, will the phone work as they are both T-Mobile?

Will this work on T-Mobile after the first month? Or only the other smaller T-Mobile based services like tello or mint?

You mean 2026… because most people getting this aren't using the phone until next year
