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

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.

Oh I see devices free with 3 months of service which amount to 165. If I order a second line of service can I get service discounted on second line? so I have to pay for 3 months of service but device unlocks after 60 days? so I can sell the phone after it unlocks after 2 months of paid service with one month of free service?

Did you do this? It says we have to subscribe and pay 2$/week for verification code support

With TextNow? No, didn't pay anything.

Is Veriff (id verification) safe to use? They are located in Tallinn, Estonia

Yes, when I hit place order. it says can't process this request please call. I don't know if it's because I didn't have an account and set one up middle of the process. It won't let me add my name or anything in the account.

No that should not be the cause because I did create an account and ordered a phone. It doesn't say your payment declined? You're not connected to a VPN?

Nope nothing about payment issues. No VPN. Were you able to add your name and information to your account? It won't let me do that either.

Wow, what a world we live in....where we need to verify our identity to a third party (who resells our ID info) just to buy something.

Back in my day, we only needed money to buy something.

Back in my day we paid what it was worth with maybe a coupon. No subsidized stuff like this… they want credit worthy people who can continue the plan. Just be glad they don't require a contract and roll the odds on the quality of their service

I should be able to sell this phone as soon as I activate it and include 3 months of mobile service included with the promise of phone unlocking in 2 months no prob right? I would have to include my terms of sale so I guess I could only sell this to someone who's too lazy to do the porting themselves. Is this a money maker? I ordered a A35 that's due to be delivered to me tomorrow I was hoping to be able to get service discounts on additional lines but that doesn't appear to be the case.

What's the best place to get a new phone number to do this deal? I already ported out my previous Google Voice number, and don't want to port my current Verizon number over to them.
I used TextNow to get a number for this deal (don't want to port out my GV or current ATT number either)

did the free sign up on TextNow but their customer service was offline when I was trying to buy the iphone so I ended up having to pay $2 to activate the "premium version" of TextNow
All worked out as I was able to confirm the eligibility code that Total Wireless sends you when confirming eligibility

Placed the order for the iphone and hopefully it all works out

Same here. Don't see any autopay option. Did you end up buying for $165 then? Or am I missing something
Was thinking the checkout process might allow people to make installment payments (over 3 months) but alas, no one seems to be able to find the autopay option, oh well.

After initial 90 days, what do we need to do? Call Total Wireless to stop service?
