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.

More data points -

Ordered the 13, it arrived. Then ordered the A9+ tablet. Couldn't order more, my account said I couldn't add any more lines (presumably while I was waiting for the A9+ to show up and be activated).

A9+ arrived, I activated it, and seconds later I can now order another 13 ($35 plan with port) or A9+ ($20 no port). I'll try to buy another, not sure which yet.
Of course you should by iPhone 13, that's around $195 value (you can just trade in the 13 to Apple and get $235 gift card)

The A9+ is just valued around $100

If you really need the A9+, just get the 13 and sold it for $200 and you should be able to get an A9+ with around $120 and then $80 cash.

How are some people getting one phone and others getting 2-3?
I just got one iphone. Activated that and tried to add a line. It accepts the number to port - but fails at the last step "Your security is important to us - please visit a store"

I've tried everything: Different credit cards, Ordering from activated phone without Wifi, using VPN - even went to using a different shipping address.

No matter what I do - the order always fails at the last step. I always get notes from Visible that the number is in process of porting. But the order never goes through. Has Metro restricted my account? Last time I got anything from Metro was in 2023.

I am just mystified on how are some people able to order 2 or 3 phones - I'm about to give up.

Does anyone know how does Metro determine a max number of devices per account? Is it based on email address, lines associated with that account, or shipping address? I ask because I ordered 1 phone on one email, but same shipping/billing address. I then ordered a 2nd phone using a different email, but same shipping/billing address and it worked. Now when I try to order a tablet on one of the lines/account I keep getting the error that we can't complete your order and call to customer service.

Were you failed to order the second iphone 13 with $35 plan before you ordered the A9+? And after you received and activated the A9+ you successfully placed the order of the second iphone 13 with $35 plan?

I didn't screenshot the confirmation page unfortunately. It went right through so I assumed it would be good.

I thought the free iphone 13 was limited to 2 per account. I ordered my first Metro line (iphone 13) few days back, and after receiving and activating, I was able to see the "Add a line" link, and so I added a second line with another new iphone 13 which will be delivered tomorrow. Since the order status page/email has link to activate the not-yet-delivered phone, I went ahead and activated this second line. Then I was again able to see the "Add a line" link. I repeated the same process - immediatedly signed up for Visible $5 line, generated port out pin, and added a third line with another iphone 13. For all orders, the port out step seems to skip, and I had to click the back arrow on the page to get the port form, and then proceeded and successfully placed the order. I only hope Metro somehow does not cancel this order.Before actually spending any money, I did check my "add a line" link's iphone 13's price to make sure it is $0 for visible number port. Visible app generates a new njumber before any payment is required. So, only after confirming iphone's price on Metro's cart, I paid for visible account and immediately afterwards transferred out.
how do you generate visible port out line right away? I just signed up for another visible line

When I go to the link to check order status and activate and use my order number, last name, and zip code it is not working. It gives me an error message "Let's try that again. Please check the order number and zip code you entered below." Anyone have this issue before?

If you didn't get an order number in your email your order probably got lost in the void or something...
