The GV will initially show ok but then not go through.
People have been using $5 Visible lines ($25 - $20 referral code for first month).

Yes, it will show Verizon. You need phone number, account number, port-out PIN and ZIP. Text FOUR to 611611 and the four digits should match the last four of your phone IMEI/Account number (15-digit). The ZIP code is the one you entered when you activated the phone (for a new number, or you can check it by logging into your account on a browser). Text NTP when you're ready to buy iP13/port-out to get your 4-digit PIN.

Do I have to wait a certain amount of time before I can buy through Metro again? I bought a similar deal last fall (for the iPhone 12), then just didn't renew the monthly plan.

EDIT: I guess Metro doesn't have much of a time limit between when letting your account expire and placing new orders because I just placed an order for this ip13 and it's only been about 3-4 months since I let my previous metro plan expire. Also, I placed the order just minutes after creating a visible account and porting that new visible number over to metro.

Do I need to order esim or physical sim from visible, I only want a number to port to metro for this deal?
You can choose either, though e-sim will allow you to activate and port your new visible # much sooner.

I got the error after i entered all the details and submitted on the final page. But now when i try i get this error right at the beginning.
Unfortunately, this number can't be transferred. Try another number or choose a new number to continue.
Metro port dept said they can't help without having a metro phone number. Anyone else faced this issue ?
Call them!

Bummer. I ordered one iPhone 13 before the price drop and I also got in on the tablet deal. When I tried to get another iPhone 13, it tells me my account is not eligible to add a line. Is there a workaround on this issue?

It depends on whether the phone you'll use to activate the sim is capable of eSIMs, and if the phone itself is unlocked and thus capable of being used to get a Visible line. If you have a eSIM unlocked phone, it's much better b/c you can get the number and port out info instantly. if you need to do a physical SIM (like me) because your phone is old, you'll have to wait a week for the SIM to show up.

Do I need to have a phone to activate visible esim in order to get porting info? I don't have any phone with esim capability and if I wait for a week to get physical sim, this deal may be gone. Is there any workaround this?

So, just pay for one month and then let the service lapse for 12 months to unlock. What will be the phone's trade in value 12 months from now?

Yup. You need to actually add the SIM to a phone, and activate it. You can't get the port-out info until you do. This applies to both physical SIMs and eSIMs.

So, the best thing about this deal: you don't need to wait 12 months to trade it in, regardless of where you trade it in. Locked devices seem to be taken EVERYWHERE as trade-ins.

I got metro if I add a line and cancel this flex crap, will they remove my 25 a month plan?

Or can I put the 13 on my main line and sell my phone?

I don't know what to do with the 13 since it doesn't unlock for a year, apple probably gives 250 credit for this towards a 16 so it's still like 550 for it.
