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.

From the T-Mobile news room:"Metro customers win too … starting Friday, February 28, customers can bring their number to Metro and get iPhone 16e on Us when they join Metro Flex Up or Metro Flex Plus, after 12 months of service credits — that's $599.99 in savings! — plus, all the goodness that comes with being a Metro customer"Pffttt, sorry, but I'm not going to be on Metro for a year for a "free" budget iPhone 16e. Nope, nope, nope.
I kind of have an idea how monthly service credits work for postpaid. How do they work for prepaid?

Do I finance this phone when I buy with metro? or Do I pay full amount when buying and then get service credits every month (which reduces the monthly bill)?

I don't really know, but I assume the latter. It is called "prepaid", and one of their things is no credit checks. I doubt they'd allow you to finance hundreds of dollars with no credit check. I mean, they would lose the price of the phone minus first finance payment and first month of service.

I tested with the MKSD SIM from Aliexpress, and it unlocked. Can't speak to general reliability, but it did work with a Tmobile SIM using MKSD 5.7.
is this permanent unlock? I guess once you do factory reset it will get locked again?

Did you order all 4 phones under same account? Did you change anything with each order as far as names, shipping address, billing address, or credit card number?

All under same account, same address, same credit card, no changes. No verification of any kind. Back to Metro after about a year. Now just trying to decide between a M3 MacBook Air or Asus Rog Zephyr with i7 and 4070. I don't game but I may start creating content videos soon.

I think most who are getting the iphone 13 are banking on BB continuing their Pixel promotion of free Pixel at launch with iphone trade in. 2 years ago, it was iphone 11 and up, last year it was 12 and up, this year should be 13. Gotta wait till Aug/Sep Pixel launch to find out.
I know BB did this last year for the p9 with a ip12 trade-in, but do you have a link for the deal 2 years ago that you're talking about with an ip11 trade-in? I can't find anything on SD.

MKSD is an insert you use with your sim. It doesn't unlock in software, it's just while the sim is in there with it it's unlocked. Remove the MKSD and it's locked again. It allows you to use the phone on another network for the year, but once 365 days are over you remove the MKSD and request a real phone unlock.

I opened 3 lines but get the "Call us to complete your order" in the end.
Not able to order the A9 plus tablet either.

Anyone figure out a solution for this on how to get the order through?

Called Customer Service and they ran into the same issue when ordering the tablet.

I'm wondering if the 13 will hold value a bit longer since it's the last iPhone that takes pSIM.
it will because the 6s was the last one to have a headphone jack
