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.

All the same price $165. I did 1 device at a time per order ( several chase card has $15 cashback for total wireless ends on the 4/15?) cause i had multiple chase cards with offer. Citi cards offer has $12 cashback as well.

I highly recommend not ordering from the same IP for the 2nd account to be safe (hotspot/cell phone/remote somewhere else).
Thanks much!

Quick question. I do not see IMEI listed in the 'Manage Lines' for the iphone 13. It is shipped and to be delivered day after tomorrow. But for other phones (android) the IMEI showed up in the list for online porting process even before the order was shipped. Not sure what's up with iphone IMEI listing. The number I am trying to port expires tomorrow (current service plan), but the iphone 13 will be delivered day after tomorrow. I am wondering how to handle this situation as my service ends tomorrow with current provider and need to activate and port day after tomorrow! Please share your experience. Thanks

Probably can port to Google Voice and then port to your new phone

Likely the cheapest way to get an unlocked (in a short timeframe) iPhone 13 we have seen.

Ordered Sunday, mine says waiting fulfillment as well, but the charge did show up on my card today, so I'm assuming shipping soon

I just created a Google Voice number and when I punch in the Google Voice number on total Wireless to Port from I get we couldn't validate your number at this moment.
EDIT
Tried again 30 minutes later and port number worked but device discount didn't apply in my shopping cart as this was my fifth phone I guess you only get discounted equipment for four phones per account

Just a heads up for anyone actually planning on using the service... apparently Disney+ is NOT included with the 3-month prepaid service according to chat support. I will try to chase it down with phone support, but that's the first-pass response I got from chat support.

As for shipping time, I ordered on 04/10, shipped on 04/15, and received 04/16 (did not pay extra for 1-day shipping).

Hopefully Google Voice still works. Should I give it some time because I just created this Google Voice number or should I try changing my Google Voice number?

Happened to me as well.
