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.

Unsuccessful placing the order on the last step. Any tips on what to do? Does changing credit card etc help?
What did it say? Mine keeps going straight to the payment section after I put in my port#. I had to go back manually, so I can add the acc# and pin.

Could be wrong but last time I did these shenanigans, system would not allow another line until the in process line is activated. Try again after you activate the 2nd line.

Ordered a second one for $35.

Does it go on the same plan or just shows up on the same account?

Just tried calling, seems the deal is really dead. Rep at Metro couldn't process a port-in from Visible for $75. He said it was showing full price for the iPhone 13. =( RIP
The $150 glitch seem to be fixed. I just place an order adding a 2nd line for $35 phone is free

It's a glitch in online. I just ordered two with customer care and took me 40 minutes.
Were you able to order 2 phones in the same account? So $75 for the first line and $35 for the second line? Or did you get them to create two separate accounts and pay $75 for each phone?

I don't think you will be able to order one more with the same account.

If you want another one, you need to find a friend who can order on your behalf.
Last September I was able to order 3 iPhone 12 I didn't try 4th one. I just ordered my 2nd line for $35 and phone free, can't add anymore until I get the phone and activate it.

From my experience only can have one active order you can't place another order till the most recent order line have been activated. One activation is done you can place another order. I just placed my 2line $35 and phone free will try 3rd line when I get that order

After my initial month of service on Metro, I wanted to report that the two iPhone 13 that I purchased through this deal are now working just fine for me on Tello's service with a RSIM that I purchased on eBay. As others have reported, Tello seems to work well with these RSIMs because it's an MVNO that uses T-Mobile's towers.
If you don't want to wait a year for the unlock from Metro and you're satisfied with Tello's price structure, this might be a good option for some of you. The RSIM is about $15, so it does add to your initial up front cost. But two new iPhone 13 for $216 (plus $30 for the two RSIMs) that I can use right away with a budget MVNO seemed like a pretty good deal to me.
Send me a message, if you'd like a link to the RSIM that I purchased from an eBay seller.

The order always fails at the final step. It says to contact a metro store - "we value your security etc".
The number transfer is successful and I do get a note from my existing provider. But the order doesn't go through. I did try different credit cards etc, but didn't help at all.
I have only ordered one phone from Metro. Any clue on what I can do to fix this? The phone customer service is no help as well.

Just got the phone today and wanted to know how to activate it with the port in number we initially used from Visible to get on this deal? I did not receive any other email from Metro regarding activation. Do we need to make a Metro account first? Anyone share the steps needed to complete the process and also if we can skip setting up an Apple account or not?
