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

For those having trouble porting in from TracFone, Straight Talk, or Total Wireless, here are the steps you need to take at the porting part. This is based on my experience. I have successfully completed port-ins from these sites after working out this guide. The guide below is taken from Total Wireless port into Metro. It should be the same for Straight Talk and other TracFone subsidiaries including TracFone.

Port Info Needed:
Most can be found here
https://www.totalwireless.com .. my-account.. manage-lines
Line: Phone number
Account: Phone IMEI (Text Four to 611611 to confirm)
Zip code: Your zip code
PIN: Text NTP to 611611 to generate your PIN.

----------------------
At the Porting part.
1. Enter the port info.
2. Metro contacts Total Wireless. (See picture 1)
3. Metro throws an error even if you entered everything correctly. (See picture 2)
4. The error is because Total Wireless is contacting the line owner to warn them about the port. (See picture 3)
5. Click on Correct errors.
6. Re-enter everything again and make sure everything is correct.
7. Metro throws another error. The same one as seen in Picture 2.
8. This is a bug on Metro site.
9. Click on the X at the top right to close that error message.
10. Metro proceeds to completing the order.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Once you clicked on submitting the order to Metro, your Total/ST/Tracfone line is immediately inactivated on their respective site, not allowing you to port that line any further even if Metro denied your order asking you to contact them or go to their store for completing the order. In order words, you cannot reverse the porting at Total/ST/Tracfone. I spent 2 hours with Total and it was going nowhere.

If my math is correct, iphone 13 gives the best trade in value at Apple, if I can max out the 4 lines at Metro.

Are you updating the iOS?
I was on iOS 17 before, and now I've upgraded to iOS 18. Honestly, it hasn't made much of a difference. I would say it got worse.

If an order is not completed, Metro blocks the number temporarily from 4-8 hours.

You can change the visible number from chat bot and try with the new number.
"Unfortunately, this number can't be transferred. Try another number or choose a new number to continue."

It's 16hrs now and my Visible number is still block.

Change the Visible number from the chat bot eh? Well, I'm thinking of getting the iPhone 14 instead with the extra RAM; 4GB vs 6GB and Starlink beta coming up. Hmmm…

If you have another existing Metro account, can you switch the sim card of this new one to your existing account once it defaults after a month? Thank you
Just simply switch the sim card wont work. You need to Log into your Metro account to switch the new line/iphone to a different phone/IMEI to make the new iphone not link to any number. Then you can log in to your original number account and change that line(phone number) to the new iphone/IMEI. Metro link the phone number to phone-IMEI. Very easy to do it yourself, they charge $25 to do it at store.

You can extend Metro account for 72 hours.

Yes, it will be shipped if the order goes through. But if you can't activate it because of account inactivation, 1 year unlocking countdown won't start.

It can be traded in without any issue.

Any other options for port in numbers, I have visible psim yet to ship but when I tried esim my XR from total wireless is showing IMEi locked to carrier but sim unlocked ( used RSIM method to unlock ) ?
At least you need a unlock phone to activate the number. Visible and tello both send psim if you can wait

Yes, the order went through just fine yesterday, and my plan is to use the extension once I receive the phone, my only concern is if they will actually ship the phone if the account is suspended.

Based on my personal experience last month, they'll ship it.
