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.

Were you able to use the same name/shipping address/credit card for three separate orders? Or did you vary some of the components to be able to order three at (approximately) the same time?

Also yes I wonder why some people buy cheap phones on eBay/some other reselling site and probably are paying more than $75-80 for the phone, and meanwhile also risk that the phone is in worse condition than originally advertised and doesn't garner the trade-in value that one wants.

Do you plan to trade in at the Apple Store or at T-Mobile?

- same name, address, and credit card for all 3.

- because they don't know about this. i was going to buy 3 s10 on ebay but pivoted once i saw this deal. no brainer.

- i'm going to order through costco and then trade in at tmobile

Yes I agree if there aren't deals like this one that eBay or other reseller site might make sense. Also another positive about Metro's deal is that, for the most part in my experience and what I've read on the deal threads, shipping might be as quick as 2 business days.

And, good to know the data point that someone got this deal of ip13 costing $0 with a Metro Flex Plus plan three times.

Thank you for the PSA. My initial order attempt crapped out at the fraud check and caused my Visible number to get stuck in limbo (i.e., "this number can't be used...'). Changing my phone number via the Visible app allowed me to successfully place a new order, for which I just received shipment confirmation.
I think I messed something up. Where do you see the option to change the phone number? I ordered a sim card (where I think I messed up) and I can't activate my account.

I keep getting an error about number transfer failing from metro even though my current carrier is texting to let me know that number transfer in progress. Anyone else running into this issue?
