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.

Is anyone else not able to login to their metro account after placing an order? Get a "something went wrong with your request" when trying to login.
Yes. I just discovered the fix. Once you have your phone. Find your order email and you will see an option about activating. Once you do that and complete the number port the portal will begin working

I took advantage of the $75 iPhone 12 deal a few months ago, turned off autopay, and traded in the phone to Apple.

Was able to sign up for a brand new account and take advantage of this offer. Both times I used visible $5 first month referral deals to port in. Going to turn off autopay for this new account too. Plan on either keeping this for a year so it unlocks or trading it in towards an iPhone SE 4 or whatever it gets named when it comes out(hopefully) on Wednesday.

Postings are delayed and not showing up live. I am shocked that SD needs to go through such extreme to delay postings for 8 hours just to weed out referral. Seriously?

I just added a new Spectrum line, and the phone is paid off. I tried to port this line to Metro with the correct account number and transfer PIN. However, I received an error at the last step: 'Sorry to keep you waiting. Your number transfer cannot be completed at this time. You must cancel your transfer to continue.' Even though I got a 'Transfer Completed' email from Spectrum.

Hope they ship soon. And yes this is a really good deal for trade-in for a new phone with a carrier, or a gift card trade-in.Was going to try to get a second line for $35 (+$5 for a Visible number), and I worry that if I get more than one using multiple accounts, I'll be blocked from further phones. That balances out with worrying that the phones will fully sell out. How many (backup) phones are too many? I still have an iPhone 13 from four months ago ($99.99 plus $75 plan) that I'm just using as a wifi device. Also got three iPhone 12s (for $35 each) before being blocked from further orders within that first 30 days of the plan (was blocked from a fourth iPhone 12 order). I guess I'm 2/3 of the way to that phone unlocking so might as well keep the iPhone 13.
you will be fine. I got 4 iphone 11, 6 iphone 12 and 2 iphone 13 so far

I'm still using that line without any problems, but I want to port it out to Metro, and I couldn't do that.

Hey, can't blame you for getting a good deal. But how did you already trade in your phone to Best Buy while you are waiting for your second order to ship? I thought the first line has to be active in order to get the $35 price. Did you trade your phone in to Best Buy and leave the line active?
Yes, my first line was active before I ordered my 2nd phone. I traded it in after that.

I got my phone tody. How do I activate the phone on MetroPCS?
How do I get a second Visible number? Does it have to be in my name/same account on Visible or can my spouse open a Visible account and use the $20 referral to get a $5 Vibile number to port out?
Thanks for you help in advance
You can just refer yourself with same name, addresss, credit card and more. I've been doing this for 6 months and counting. I have like 16-20 numbers .
You need your order# and last name to activate your phone. It will be sent to your email.

The How-To:
  1. Buy a phone number on Visible.com with a referral code
    1. This will bring the cost of the phone number down from $25 to $5
    2. Referral codes can be found by Googling.
    3. Any referral codes posted here will be deleted by Mods
    4. Make sure to buy the eSim from Visible otherwise you will have to wait for a physical sim to be shipped
    5. You will need an IMEI to purchase the eSim from Visible. I used a spare phone I had around. If not you can use your actual phone.
    6. You will also need to download the Visible app on to your phone to activate the eSim.
  2. Once the phone number is active and usable on Visible.com - unlock the phone number to be able to port-out
    1. In your Visible account unlock the line and generate a Port-Out PIN
  3. Once you have your port out pin go to the Metro website and purchase the iPhone 13 with porting-in your phone number.
    1. Make sure you select the Metro Flex Plus Plan.
    2. Go through the steps of setting up a new account.
    3. Metro will ask for your Visible account number and port-out pin number.
    4. It may take a while for Metro to verify that your number will be ported over. Be patient.
    5. Towards the end Metro will ask you some identifying questions.
  4. Wait for the iPhone to ship
  5. Once the iPhone arrives you can activate it with the instructions sent to your email or trade-in for GC's at BB or Apple
Notes:
No Google Voice doesn't work.
Metro will unlock the phone after 365 after activation. This does not mean date of purchase.
Some users are doubling up their success and purchasing 2 lines and 2 iPhone 13s through Metro.
Good luck out there. Be safe. I hope you get a iPhone 13
