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.

Does anyone know if you need to officially cancel the totalwireless plan if you don't want it anymore after the unlock?
I just want the phone, so I plan to sit on it and in 60 days, and then use the phone with my other non-totalwireless account phone number after unlocked.
Bumping this question.

My google voice number fully activated about 2 days after arrival and start of process; curious if anyone know if I need to "officially cancel" with totalwireless after 60 day unlock or just stop paying (given this a prepaid plan).

Please update us, I'm very interested in your result. I got a text about the Disney plus sent to my new A35 device a few days after activating it , but the link in the text didn't work and I'd much rather have the Disney plus if it comes with my iPhone on the route since that comes with 3 months of Disney versus just one month of Disney with my A35. No sign of Disney Plus on the total Wireless website on the my extras tab either
When ordering it says Disney Plus. Any update?

Can someone advise on the steps for porting google voice. From this post . The account number is your google voice number. The Pin number is your voicemail pin. You pay $3 to unlock the number. Anything else needed to do the port?

I would also like Port from Google Voice instructions please. If I need a voicemail pin how do I create a voicemail pin on Google Voice? Correct me if I'm wrong I need to click the "unlock" button under account in the top of Google voice settings to Port out?

what happens to the ported number? Do we need to keep it after the 60 days? Or can be discarded.

Ordered 4/13 still no update 4/17. It shows as "Pending remote fulfillment".
Anyway, was able to claim chase rewards offer $15. Not bad. Though I want to do port out/ in process as soon as possible, as the previous line which I just resumed service will burn $1 per day Frown

The Total Wireless activation system and their website is the absolute worst. Got a few of these deals and every single time I've had to call in and deal with their Filipino or Indian call centers. A local Total Wireless store confirmed there are no Americans I can talk to. One deleted the wrong line on my account and the account and phones are now DOA. They also happily charge my card but cannot reactivate my phones with that charge. Spent 3 hours with customer service today and every time they do something they make the situation worse. Avoid this company like the plague.

Yep I had so many problems with Straight talk and their Incompetent call center. They train these cs reps just enough and if you go off script or have a 2 step issue forget it about. They say call back in 24 hours and it will be fixed...Spoiler.. It won't. Keep Trying you will get that one guy / gal that knows what they are doing.

Can you advise the steps using google voice for port?

Folks report mix results, but it was rather simple/easy.

(1) I used my GV number when ordering -- used my mailing address (same address associated with my google voice account).
(2) When I got my phone, used same GV phone number. Used my 4 digit voice mail pw as pin and "000000" as the account number.
(3) I got a notification by email from google that I needed to pay the $3 to "unlock" to port out -- so I did that, and then that was it; within in minutes my GV number worked for making outbound calls and texts. A couple days later I got another email from google stating the number had been ported out, and I checked my device and confirmed it could start to receive incoming calls to the phone..
