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.

What is stopping you to port your number to (say) visible now and then to xfinity when port promotion is live?

In theory nothing at all thanks for the suggestion. is there cost associating in with porting to visible? any perks I get from a visible port into their service considering it would only be for a short time? in this case I will request a port pin from Metro tomorrow before going to the Apple Store and wait 6 days to initiate the port in case this iPhone 13 gets back in stock I can order more additional lines for $35

If anyone is interested in buying a Samsung Galaxy S25, Best Buy is currently offering $400 for the iPhone 13. Metro by T-Mobile isn't on their list of locked providers during the trade-in evaluation, but a customer agent told me it's still good since the promo applies to any provider of the phone.

I found visible referral online, but had to use an old IMEI phone to get a number, so now I'm waiting on a SIM to show up in the mail. Do all of you use an esim for instant port out? Do you use an esim IMEI over and over for multiple orders?

You can select T-Mobile instead, works the same way.

Yes. Rinse and repeat. iPhone 13 is no more available as of now.

And one year locked metro, not a good deal, waiting for ip13 to come back.

Since 13 is out of stock I was tempted to get the iPhone 14 for $100 but I think I'll get the SE third generation for free with port from Metro with $35 added line

14 has been out of stock since at least yesterday too. I don't believe the ad(s) on the main Metro page stated this when the deal first started, but the 'free iPhone 13' ad now states "Only available in store," so online orders may not be returning.

So I received the iphone 13 in the mail and activated it. I want to use it as a trade in for the T-mobile promo. Can I just abandon the Metro account and just make sure Autopay is off or do I need to close out the Metro account somehow?

Yep, looks like it restocked today. When I checked earlier before my post it was still out of stock.

Not a bad alternative if you missed on the 13 and it doesn't come back.
