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.

can you provide me the detail on how to get two phone under same account, can I do it by one order?

Yes, you can get two phones in one order. Add the first phone to your cart by entering the port-in number and verifying the code, then pick a plan. After that, go back, search for iPhone 13, enter the second port-in number, and follow the same steps. Once both phones are in your cart, move on to the next step.

I went ahead and purchased the device and got a phone number from Number barn for $5. The port in processes has been a pain from Numberbarn to Total wireless. I have a signal and Numberbarn says its approved and ported out but Total wireless is saying they have not fully released the phone number and that the phone number came from Brandwidith.com/Number barn and that it will take 7 days.
Looking online I'm not seeing anywhere that it will take 7 days minimum because its a VOIP/WIred line. Previous posts seem to make it seamless process.
If anybody has ideas on what do to going forward to help I"m all ears.

My experience with GV went smoothly. I followed Google's instructions.Yesterday: I signed up and got a GV number. I didn't add my address, but put in my zip code. In settings: I selected unlock, and paid $3. Next, I turned on call to listen under the voicemail section. When I activated the sim, I used my 10 digit number as my account number and voicemail pin as the transfer pinToday: I got an email saying it was ported over
Ordered a second phone Tuesday and it arrived today. Very fast compared to the first one I ordered. The google voice porting is super easy and only cost $3. I was going to use number barn but after reading their instructions and their need for more information and it had to be exactly how they have it. I decided to you google voice.

sorry where do I check plan details? I am about to order by second iPhone and I still $165 for 3 months, why is it not going down? or is it going to be $165 for first 3 lines and $0 for 4th line?
You are doing correctly, it is total wireless thing that, this promotion is not stacking for multi line discount, it is ordering as a standalone, so 3x55$.

Anyone know how long you have to activate/transfer the line over once you receive the device? Without starting the 90 day plan? Or does it start as it is delivered?
Total Wireless doesn't state anywhere on their site or activation process the number of days you have to activate the card. But I chatted with a Straight Talk rep and they said I can wait for whole year so I assume it's the same for all TracFone brands. I only waited 3 months to finish up my Mint plan before starting ST service. BTW Mint specifically tell you it's 40 days unlike Straight Talk/Total Wireless.

I called Total Wireless and they told me after you receive the phone it can be 1 or 2 month to activate the plan. I called them because I still have time with PureTalk and my billing date with Pure Talk is on the 12th of every month. When I do receive my Iphone 13 from Total Wireless I don't have to activate the phone immediately. I can activate it near during the week I have to pay Pure Talk and then port out my number from Pure Talk.

Yes right. I would not want to wait for 1 moth like you said and activate it. When ever I change providers I always wait close to near my due date to the current provider I have and then port out my number to the other carrier so I don't waste my money that I just paid for the current month.

Hmm that is odd. Is your number still with Total Wireless or is it from another cell provider. I would call Total Wireless and ask them. I never heard of that because when ever I switch providers and I use my same number I don't have that problem.

I wonder if there is a rule that sometimes you have to wait like 6 months or so before you port back to total wireless and it is eligible. Did you try to check your phone number with another carrier to see if it is eligible like Tmobile or AT&T? If Tmobile or AT&T is eligible then you would have to call Total Wireless and see why you can't port your number to them again. Check Verizon and see if your number is eligible to port or not? I just remember is your number port locked or number locked meaning in order to port your number sometimes you have to call Cricket Wireless to have it unlock for porting out.
