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.

If we want to trade in the phones to Apple for GC do we need to switch it out first from the account or not? Does it matter if we trade it in while the month service is still active or doesn't matter?

Did you trade it in while service was still active and did not remove it from account correct? Just made sure Auto Pay is OFF.

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.
The ad is definitely new so probably not coming back online.

I took it straight to a T-Mobile store as soon as it was delivered without doing anything on the metro website, we still have the simple choice plan so got $500 for it.

We still have the grandfathered simple choice plans so it was eligible for $500 trade-in value

So did you atleast activate it online before it was delivered or after delivered? So since you paid for the month of service already then as long as auto pay is off on the account then the line will just suspend after months end and then eventually cancel after month 2.

I did activate both of them before trading them in. Metro should suspend both of my lines after 1 month of service, that is how it worked for the Samsung a9 tablets deal last year

s24fe and the iPhone 14 both available from Metro for $100 give very different trade-in values at Xfinity mobile when trading for s25 ultra. IPhone 14 gives 1,000 trade in value this phone s24 Fe only gives 400 trade-in value so I'm getting iPhone 14 for trade to Xfinity mobile so I only pay $300 out of pocket on top of trade. Xfinity mobile promotion says Unlimited required for s25 Ultra trade but check out lets me choose by the gig option. iPhone 13 only gets $750 trade in credit towards this s25 Ultra promotion on Xfinity mobile. from Apple directly selling iPhone 14 only gets $20 more than selling iPhone 13.
I'm getting oops go back and correct errors when trying to Port. after redoing the port information error again. called Port Department they had to cancel the port they said wait 2 to 4 hours and call the virtual retail Department and ask them to try to fulfill my order

I can not seem to order a second Galaxy tab. Is the TLC TAB 8 LE worth getting for $20?

It looks like its available to purchase again for me BUT b&m stores only. Too bad stores are so shady. Guess this deal is pretty much dead now.

After 4 iphone 13's, just now added $20 tablet line with free A9+. This time I was presented with one page ID verification with 3 questions, easy peasy! I wish I had added 5th iphone 13 line while I could and while it was still available online.

Now I'll probably try added SE3 once my tablet ships and activated, and then sell all iphone 13's to Apple store for gift card, and maybe get myself Mac Mini M4 for $500 with student discount, or maybe Macbook Air M3. Anyone has any suggestions? I consider myself advanced tech user with decades of tech support experience (windows+linux) and this is the first time I'd be touching a Mac system. I'm currently on a gaming laptop 12th gen i5 with 3050ti, but haven't gamed not done any video works for more than a year.
