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.

Ask visible to send you sim
Visible needs to check my phone first. Problem is my older phones aren't compatible. I can't get past that "check phone" screen.

Quote from Cheapskate27 :
You're in the same bind many of us find ourselves in. If your tablet isn't activated, you may just need to activate it. If that doesn't fix, you can call Metro and see if there's a port request that is stuck, which may be your problem (ask to be transferred to the port-in dept to address this). You'll have to wait 4-24 hrs for it to clear, after they clear the request. If that doesn't solve the problem, you may be stuck without options. I've had both of these things happen to me. Their system is weird, and inconsistent. But you can try signing up for new accts, under the same name/address/credit card, or partly or entirely different. It's all very unpredictable.

FYI, their customer service is weird. there are 5-10 different numbers you can possibly call. And each rep will answer something different to the same question, even within the same dept/phone number. Take pretty much everything they say with a grain of salt - they all say different things and they can't all be right.

That said, good luck....
Thanks. I thought the tablet would activate automatically when I put in the SIM card and set the tablet up. I'll double check tomorrow.

Guys!

Asking for help and tips, please!

Ordered one for my daughter, but we are on T-Mobile. Which version of RSIM do I need to order to be able to use the phone on T-Mobile instead of Metro? If anyone knows, please suggest a link to a seller of those RSIM's. I used eSIM from Visible. Should I leave eSIM and put RSIM in physical slot with T-Mobile SIM card to make it work?

Sorry I misunderstood. You already got the phone! It will not work for other T-mobile except for Metro for a while.

That's why I asked about RSIM's unlock. Some people use them to work around with other carriers.

I should be clearer. I already ported two numbers from Visible. I need a third. My older phones aren't compatible on Visible's network. Unless I am doing something wrong or not seeing something, Visible requires an actual phone before a line can be purchased. I just need a number and pin to port.
Spend $250 on a Straighttalk iPhone 13 that unlocks after 60 days, or get the $90 Motorola Edge with a GV port-in, or get the S22 Ultra from eBay for $270 that's already unlocked. Everyone needs one unlocked modern phone with a SIM slot and eSIM at hand for these type of deals.
You could have gotten yourself a refurbished S21 for $99 recently. Get on swappa and get yourself a cheap unlocked decent phone that has a slot and eSIM for little money, makes things easier. Visible will ship you a sim for free, it just takes a few days. Ask your friend or neighbor, many people have an old phone in a drawer.
