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.

Can someone explain to me why this is a deal? You can find cell phone plans that offer unlimited everything for $25 but you will have to bring your own phone. Iphone 13 will cost you about $350. Total price for year is $600. This phone plan will be $845 ($75 x 1, $70 x 11) for the year and $125 for the iphone comes out $970. $370 difference.

As you only pay one month of $75, then stop pay and wait.

Lyca doesn't work unfortunately, I tried. I bought a $5 lyca plan, tried porting it and didn't get any discount so I had to then transfer lyca to visible for another $5 to then transfer to metropcs and got the discount. Visible is the easiest method

Visible is $5 when you use a referral code.

So I can get this iPhone 13 for $50 with Port and get the $50 plan for one month, stop paying for service after that and I'm good? My spare XM mobile line says it doesn't work today after last night it gave me the oops message. If I use my main number to Port what I then want to Port back into Xfinity mobile before my new month of service is up right?

Visible Base plan ($25) with someone's referral code for (-$20) so $5 for the number after taxes and fees.

Extremely easy to find a referral code since people spam them because they get some money off too. Check r/visible.

It's $50 + the $75 plan like the title says. Good to go? It's a year to unlock. You can call Metro and have them purge the port and your XM number should be available again.

For some reason my spare Xfinity mobile line says won't work so I'll try my main number to get this deal. In this case I would want to Port my number into this account and then Port back before the end of my first billing cycle is that right?

Thanks for reply and correction again about which plan to get to qualify.What I meant was after I get the phone I then want to get my phone number and old phone back on Xfinity mobile what I should do? I assume I would want to Port back into Xfinity mobile before end of first months $70 billing cycle?
