You dont have to do this necessarily as the verification code they send when you are purchasing the phone doesnt have to be the phone number you are porting. You can get the verification code on any number then when you port a number over you can use the number barn number for $5
Id photo required
Yes, but nobody sold you something for $125-200 under retailer wholesale cost.
You get what you pay for.
You can buy this phone for more without the requirements.
If they did not require this some folks would buy dozens to resell (which I have no exact issue with other than it make such a deal impossible to offer)
Decide for yourself.
It's really no different from walking into T-mobile and signing a contract to get a 'free' or subsidized iphone. They take your id there.

Don't forget about cashback , I got some in my Chase card
Most cashback doesn't include plans. This is essentially 100% a plan purchase. Good luck.

Agree'd on best TotalWireless deal for iphone 13 yet, but it is indeed $165, not $155 -- this needs not be updated in the title. You can't apply "autopay' discount to first 3 month purchase at checkout.

I'm using google voice number for purchase; hoping the 2 month unlock works so I can use phone with another provider.

This is a great deal but it's $165 not $155. Let's hope they unlock the phone after 2 months.
Choose autopay I believe for the extra $10.

I'm assuming Visible numbers won't work for port in since it's a Verizon owned brand?

Is this an e-sim only device?

Dude in the time you could take to type this you could have just typed that into Google. Why waste other people's time for simple questions like this? That's selfish.

After activation, can I take out the sim and use it in another phone?
Curious as well, can you move an esim from this phone once activated to a different phone and still have it unlock in 60 days?

Anyone else getting stuck on the verify code button step with a number from numberbarn?

Had this issue, use personal number or google voice to get it into cart, place the order. When the phone comes, activate with Numberbarn number and follow the steps. There's an issue with the initial verification but after that the numberbarn number should be able to be ported in smoothly.

Does it come with physical SIM? Can I activate and switch the plan to another phone (ie. Primary phone)?

I tried to port a GV number to them last month and it never worked. Total W needed a zip code to process it. No zip code I used worked (tried mine, GV headquarters, random ones affiliated with area code and GV ). After many calls and countless zip codes tries, I ended up using a free TextNow number with no problem.
