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.

Well, while no call or email regarding the support ticket I submitted, the cancelled order actually got shipped and is scheduled to be delivered by Friday night. The problem is the status page still shows "cancelled" with the activate button greyed out even though it also has the tracking number. My credit card has also just been re-charged. I searched the reddit sub and found a thread with a similar situation months ago. Based on the discussion, I'll have to call to activate it after I receive it. Further complication is I've tried my number another time but failed. The port-in request hasn't been cancelled automatically. I anticipate a lot of headaches Frown
You are one lucky man. Activation shouldn't be a problem if your plan is still active. A quick call to their porting department will suffice. I had to do that a few times and their porting department is very good at activation.

Your ticket may have something to do with the order going through. Just a hunch. I did not file any ticket.

It's amazing to me that the people who marked this deal as expired never really look at the time when they ordered the phone and connect the dots.


Metro will mark all phones as unavailable from 12AM to 1AM Pacific Standard Time. They will be available again after 1AM unless they are really out of stock.


Right now it is 12:45AM, and as expected, it is unavailable online at Metro.

The time this iPhone 13 comes back online may not be exactly 1:00AM. Just now, I tested at 1:00AM, 1:10AM, and 1:23AM. It was available again at 1:23AM but not at the other 2 times. However, some phones become available faster than the others.

I'm on Metro site more often than you know, including yesterday, the day before, and the day before that. Looking at the iPhone I bought when the phone was supposedly out of stock and smh. This is my last response to you. No point anymore.

I did use real names in my household. Ironically, on one account I used my ex's name and got the three security questions geared towards her, even thought the CC I used was in my name. On another account, I used my child's name and did not get any security questions on that purchase.
did you use your own email with your ex's name? I think they tie the name and email together when doing ID verification questions.

Xfinity mobile reps on the phone say I can get the Samsung A35 for free with port in but website is offering me 100 dollar credit for port in but with no sign of free phone. I think I'd rather have the $100 then the Samsung phone that's locked for 2 years. With $100 XM credit that makes this iPhone 13 free if I can get past the oops error message. On the Metro page that says "your new device is on Deck" when trying to add a second line, does it matter what personal info I put there? I tried using all my existing information I used for my primary line including phone number. Looks like porting out of Metro the same day is impossible. Xfinity mobile system takes a day to recognize port out so I'll have to wait a day aftter Porting out to port back into XM.

No, the terms didn't change. "Your iPhone 13 (128GB) is $49.99 via discount. You'll need to pay any applicable sales tax. You can get this deal on up to 2 lines."

Someone mentioned if your 3rd order (and perhaps 4th) is a 14, it might go through.

FYI, Apple just published new trade-in values - the difference between 14 and 13 is only $20 now.
I was able to order 4 of the iphone 13, I received the 4th one last week

No, I bought 3 when they were $99 and wasn't gonna order anymore, but saw the price drop and decided to try for the 4th one for $49 and it went through just fine.

You should try the 5th order if you still have time. After the 5th, you'll no longer be able to select the promo.

I didn't have time to order the 5th one, I ordered the 4th one 2 days before the due date, and by the time I received it, account was suspended, I got the extension just to activate it. Didn't want to risk ordering the 5th and not be able to activate it.

Are all 4 on same account or different accounts with different addresses?
