Does it work?
Only with Tmobile. Not with ATT or Verizon. So far so good.

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?
You could even port from Visible to Metro, then a week later port out of Metro to whoever, throw this phone in a drawer for a year, then use it with any carrier.
MKSD is useful to use this phone with TMobile or Tmobile MVNOs during the first year when it's carrier locked.

Trade in value at apple is $230. Not as lucrative as the iPhone 12 deal, but pretty darn close...

iPhone 12 is $155 for a gift card, so $155-$75=$80, vs $230-$125=$105 here. This appears to be the better offer

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.
you may have to wait a couple hours. and try again with another card or try with another ip address like on your phone.

Have to port VZ or ATT based number for discounted phone -- can't be TMo or VoIP (GV/NB)

Cheapest is $5 for Visible (VZ) using a $20 code on their $25 plan

$280 trade in credit at Google store towards pixel 9 or 9 pro. I didn't try any other pixel values.

also best buy phone trade in gives $200 bestbuy e gift card.

haven't tried yet but cricket will give you (1 week, I think) trial service to try them out with (esim).
this may be a way to get a free # to transfer.

Has anyone successfully used visible port with _this_ promo? I know it has worked in the past but this promo's terms seem to suggest it's no longer accepted.
visible port is still working as of today

Curious if this is a branded T-Mo phone like the Pixel 6a was when I ordered from Metro last year. When I turned it on, it showed the T-Mo screen flash and it took me to T-mo. I order this 13 so if the T-Mo sticker is on the box, I'm going to try to activate on T-Mo prepaid as that will allow use of Mint. Will see.

EDIT: sorry, it was my Samsung A54 and not the Pixel as that one was a QVC deal on TF.

Will Straight Talk number work? Does anyone have an idea?
Same question since Straight Talk is owned by Verizon.

I'm waiting on the iPhone 13 I just bought from ST to be delivered, if I can use that number from my one month of service to also grab one of these, $125 + tax is pretty sick to have another even as just a Wi-Fi device.

So I bought the iPhone 13 from Straight Talk for $250
And this one costs only $125. I guess it is a better deal?

Depends on if you'll use it or just need it for trade in

ST is only 60 day unlock -- Metro is 1yr unlock
