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.

My 3rd iphone order shipped out yesterday and I was able to activate via the status tracker page and able to add 4th iphone 13 line successfully, for another $35 (+$5 visible transfer). I should be getting the 3rd and 4th phones on Monday and Tuesday respectively. Will see if I am able to order 5th iphone on 5th line once the 4th iphone ships. Plan is to sell for gift cards to Apple (or Bestbuy if it comes up with better value) and hopefully get a iMac Mini M4 or Macbook Air M2 (that would be my first time swtiching to Apple) from Intel. Exciting!

Did you use the same metro login details that you used 3-4 months ago to order ip13?

I don't know. If you read the entire thread, and if you read other threads for other Metro iPhone deals, most people are getting deals like this one through paying $5 to Visible for a new Verizon number. Visible is easy to get the number, and easy to get the port-out pin. By comparison, Total Wireless/Tracfone brands could also be used but the process isn't as smooth.

Which network does textnow run on? If it's T-Mobile, probably not. Tello doesn't work for the discount and it runs on T-Mobile.

If you have a textnow number, why don't you try starting an order and seeing what the phone discount comes to, and then report back and let all of us know? Particularly if it beats Visible's $5 cost (with referral code) for a new line...that would make this deal even slicker than it is already.

I am not the person you asked this question to, but I had ordered from Metro last fall. For this month's deal, I have used a different e-mail address, and different phone number. I also put an apartment in the apartment box, which I hadn't done previously, but the address is the same.

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?

Just call in and order it. They are happy to order it for you with less hassle. Just be sure to write the order number down because they won't email you the order number like when you do it online.

Now shows $6 for me, but it was a 'new user' deal so it might still show 99 cents shipped for you -

Have had two failed orders. Still showing pending as being pulled from bank account. How many days before pending charges drop off?

with the mksd. have had the most success when going with a different carrier that uses the same towers as the original provider. so for a metro sim locked device use something like mint mobile(tmobile towers). would not recommend for main phone line or anything you rely on for work do to stability issues.
