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.

so those of you ordering 7 of these phones.... you plan to trade them all in for one iphone 16 pro?
I would say that's a good solid discount even at $235 gc for each iphone 13. Note you can trade 2 iphone 13 each at $250 when you buy iphone 16

Unable to get a new visible line, stuck at checkout with an "oops cannot process" error guessing I created too many accounts?

all the way to the end and then the big fail at verify your identity. absolutely none of there questions relate to me in any way. order cancelled. what a waste of time and efforthow long to i have to wait to try again? won't let me try with the number that i tried to port on the first attempt, i believe that port will auto cancel at some point...
Same thing happened to me. Visible allows you to change your number in the app that's what I did and tried again.

Did you try more than one phone this time? Otherwise not worth the hasssle imo.

so apple allows two phones to be traded in at the higher level to buy 1 phone?

never knew that but this is how I read your post.

Do you know how long their policy is on waiting between device orders? I got four phones in September-October.
If you can get the order for the first device + $75 plan then you can usually get 2 or even 3 total within that first month spaced out. Having ordered four devices usually isn't enough to get blacklisted.

Perhaps it's worth mentioning that after the initial 30-day period last fall (I barely got the fourth line in by 30 days but I made it just under the wire), I cancelled/ported out all lines and I suppose my account from a few months ago is now closed. Interestingly, I just tried with a Visible (new) number and used a new email address. Got all the way to the final page agreeing with the terms, and it gave me an error message and told me to contact support. Which it's too late right now, maybe I'll call tomorrow.

I should have put an apartment number in the apartment field box to make the shipping address "different" than before (I remember this was suggested to a few people from at least one of the threads on the Metro iPhone deals from last fall).

I went back to the main page and tried entering my phone number again (after a failed order), and it gives the error message saying this phone number can't be transferred. Not that it's a huge deal to make another visible account and get yet another number, but I kind of wonder if it's worthwhile if my order would get rejected anyway because my address isn't sufficiently different.

How many phones did you get last fall? Did you enter anything differently (billing/shipping address, e-mail account you used last time, a different credit card than before)? I am in a similar boat as you in terms of the timeline, though I bought four iPhones within a month last time. And because the iPhone 13 page currently states that you can get the ip13 two times, and that you can get up to four deals, I think what I am curious about is how many total deals have you gotten from Metro, including any from 3-4 months ago.

Same as me. I think we need to wait until the transfer is failed and the system release number.

Mine went through back in October. Has something changed since then?
