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.

Why would you get banned? You are following the terms of the deals set by Metro themselves. Didn't break any rules.

For some reason when I'm logged into my SD account I can't see any comment newer than two hours, including my own replies to other comments, so I was thinking my reply didn't go through but then I signed out and looked at the comments and I can see all the latest comments from the past two hours, I'm not sure what's going on, I've never seen that before
This happens to me all the time

If you have a physical SIM card for those you can order an adapter that lets you use those on this phone. It's what I've done, but it's possible it will stop working with updates and just randomly. Otherwise no, you can't use T mobile or any others like that, only Metro.
Wait so if I have a T-Mobile SIM card on the iPhone 12 then I don't need to wait for this phone to unlock?

To explain, you can buy the phone and keep the plan for 1 month and just cancel it. I did this a couple years ago with a different phone. The phone can then be reused on a different plan that supports any other GSM network that's compatible with TMobile towers. That's actually includes Mint. After 365 days, you can unlock it to use on any wireless carrier.

Mint & USMobile (Light Plan) are good alternatives. I've been using USMobile for only pay $10/month for 2GB. But if you're smart, you can bounce back and forth between Mint & USMobile and take advantage of new customer promos.
Link to verify if this is true? Everything I'm reading says that the phone needs to be unlocked. Locked Metro phones will not work with any other provider other than Metro by T-Mobile.

You're not breaking the law but Metro is also not breaking the law from blocking your orders. I managed to only get 2 iPhone 13 before my account /address is flagged

From the last deal:
"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"

I failed at identify check, maybe because I just moved to a new address. Now my number is stuck at Metro that I can't use it to try order again, system requires a new number to continue.

It worked for me but it probably depends on the phone. For an iPhone you'll probably need to do some research to find out more about the MetroPCS version.

Multiple reports of Moto Edge phones purchased after 5/8/24 unlocking after 6 months despite policy change. However I've not seen any reports of iPhones unlocking early.
But at least iPhones shouldn't need a year of active plan to unlock, meaning that we'll only need to pay for the first month and it'll unlock a year later, correct?
