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 it possible to buy att activation kit without any plans (just to get number) and use it for this deal? I am just avoiding visible for the third one, if I would like to order another. Sorry for the question if it does not make sense. 🫣

Using MKSD successfully with another T-Mobile MVNO (Tello). Can't speak to Verizon.
Any advice on which version to get or where to get it? Is the MKSD Ultra V5.7 from eBay a good option?

how to get second visible line for $5? is it possible to add two lines for $10 in a single transaction?

I don't think you can, once you port out your first line I believe visible closes your account automatically so you would need to create a new account and go through the referral route to get another $5 line

Once you port out your visible number to metro, are you using the same account/info to order the second visible# number to port or ordering as a new customer with different info?

So got on this deal and phone was delivered
yesterday. Today I got the activate email where you
input your order#, last name, and zip to activate. After doing that the "Activate"' button is grayed out. ! called
Metro and agent said to wait until it shows delivered on
their site (since it still shows delivery on 2/24, but UPS
delivered on 2/21) and try again. Is this an issue that
anyone else has faced before and how did you resolve it?

How can you add a second line for $35? The system lets me go all the way to checkout and when I click place order it gives me error that I need to call customer support. Anyway to get around this issue? The first line is already active and phone in hand. Do I need to wait 24 hours before trying again so the number is released again or is it less than that?
Did you click the back button at the third step in the process in order to go back to the page where you enter your external account/port-out pin/zip code? I didn't notice the first time around when I tried multiple times to order. Two days later, and after waiting 24 hours, I finally got my order to go through. Not sure if I had to wait 24 hours or call in, but I thought I'd try the wait in order to avoid having another customer support staff person try to get me to open another account on the phone.

More data points - my second Iphone 13 just shipped. $35 for the second line.
Thanks for the data point. I was just able to order a second.

Do you plan to try for a third iPhone 13 for $35?

Quote from sam19777 :
This happen to some people even they just ordered one. You can try to use incognito mode, and/or modify your address with Unit A/Unit 1 to give a try. If not going through, you probably need to pay $75 for another account in stead of waiting. The phone will be gone quicker than you think. Their shitting anti-fraud system did block orders even you place orders too close to each other. Here is the tip for new buyers:1. Place your next order after you received that activation email, even you can activate earlier by entering the order number.2. From your third order, try to add the unit A to your address if you are living in a house. Your CC will still go through in this case. Some CC will ask you some security questions but you should have no problem to answer.3. When the order fails at the last step and they ask you to contact customer service to complete the order, it means you get the "port lock" on that transfer number. You need to call their porting Dept at 800-518-7519 to remove the port lock. Then you can try again in 4-24 hours. If you keep fail on this, you need to contact their Virtual Retail Dept at 833-382-8482. This is the most powerful department which can help you to place the order. 4. Currently, as I know, if you cannot order the phone online, you might need to pay $75 for another phone when you call Metro. You cannot add second line to your account for $35 even the CSR want to make it. The system just not allow the order go through. So for someone who wants to have more phones, the best way is to call the Virtual Reality Dept and order through them with multiple calls. In this way you can get all your phones in one day and no need to wait. You can use the same name/address/CC for different orders.
Thanks for writing out various options for next steps. I tried waiting >24 hours between attempts (to get a second iPhone 13, at the cost of $35 for a second line), and it worked for me. But interestingly, more than a day ago when I kept repeatedly trying, I had different error messages at different points in the process. Either way, I'm not going to question it.

I would wonder why, for #4, they'd allow numerous orders via that particular department if their web site states that the limit on this deal is 2 lines.

Ordered a 3rd, we'll see if it ships. That will be enough for me and kudos to all the good info shared throughout the thread (and previous ones).

I ordered couple of phones few minutes ago (at 22 Feb, 11pm EST) using different email / name / credit card. I'm hoping to order few more once I activate the first ones.

You can't. You can only have one line per account at Visible. Only option is to make two separate accounts.
if I create a line in visible wirless, is there any first time coupon, I seem to hear about $5 off

Highly doubtful that will work as they limit 2 per account. Doesn't mean I'm not gonna try, though, after the next one arrives.

I just took my first and upgraded it to an S25 on Spectrum for $17, and my MKSD arrived right after I gave it up. I'll test on the new 13 when it arrives Monday.
