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.

Quote from Norvegia :
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.
Link for the rsim?

Got my order today and tried to get a second phone for $35 like others were able to successfully do. But how were you guys able to do it because I'm getting the error: "Sorry, you are not eligible to add a new line. Please contact support to discover the reason for ineligibility. 1-888-8metro8"?

Either you haven't activate your first line on the website or you have a failed order with the port in still in progress.

Ordered a second one for $35.

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

Did you verify your identity by visiting store? When I called customer support they are saying can't add 2nd line until it's get verified.

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?
Try going here https://www.metrobyt-mobile.com/order-status assuming you have the order#

They are on to us. Next iPhone promotion requires 1 year of service credits:
Starting Friday, February 28th, Metro by T-Mobile customers who bring their phone number to Metro get iPhone 16e on Us when they join Metro Flex Up or Metro Flex Plus and have accumulated 12 months of service credits. As T-Mobile notes, that's a savings of $599.99.

I had this error as well, apparently there is no known resolution for it. All I got was 1 line that too when this phone was $75. No previous orders at all! Meanwhile people are getting multiple account and able to add 4 lines on each. shake head

How's the experience in store? It seems like there might be an additional $25 charge, but I'm hoping to add a new line for $35. Online, I'm running into "payment issues" when I create a new account or add a new line, even though my card works fine.

I got my shipping email from this deal from Metro. On Metro site tracking page it gives me the option to activate my on route phone. Do I need to click activate in order to order second line for $35 or do I need to wait until my phone arrives?
