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.

I've tried to research this but I couldn't find anything.

Can I use a Metro by tmobile phone like this on Tello immediately or is it locked to metro for the 1 year?

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.
With mksd ultra 5.8 you can use another sim card but only where tmobile provide the towers, I try using a visible sim (Verizon) but I can't get signal

Just tested and confirmed it does not allow Mint eSIM to be installed. Anyone can confirm with the trial app. I will wait until the month is up to delete the Metro eSIM and attempt T-Mobile trial but I doubt it.

Question if I want to use this for trade in value. After I get it in my hands, what's the soonest I can use it to trade in at t mobile/t mobile/atnt/which else big name carrier? And do I have to cancel the $75 month plan first?

Ideally i would like to buy it with a virtual credit card, then i would just cancel the card don't have to bother canceling the plan at all once im "in the clear"
Can't speak for others. But for Apple, you can just trade in the moment you get it without needing to even unbox it. If you haven't setup auto pay, the plan will cancel on its own

I got visible esim.number. when I gave the number in metro i see $0 but then after selecting the $70 plan price increased to $479 , any way to fix this?
Try again later. Seems to be a temporary glitch, not common but regularly reported in other threads. I've seen it too.

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.
Yes, my 2 edge got unlocked after 6 months. I thought it was going to be a year too. Lo

It's prepaid, u can trade it asap!! You pay 1st moth that's it. It cancels itself if you don't pay the 2nd month.
