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.

what if i enter port in number for deal with no intention of actually completing the port in. Would it cause issues as far as getting it unlocked? Just realized w/ numberbarn you can receive sms.

You can't activate without a port. When you activate it ask for a port in number. Unless that changed from 2 months ago. That's what it did. When I bought the phone I used a valid number for the verification and port in a random number when I activated

When I ordered the phone a week or so ago, I briefly saw something about free Disney+ for 6 months. I've since activated my line but I haven't received any information about how to claim the Disney+ offer. Has anyone done this and can share what the process is?
Hi, were you able to get it added? I chatted with TW and they mentioned it's only for their $55 monthly plan. Not the $165 we paid for 3 months.

No you can't do that because pSIM and 3 month plan is binded with IMEI of iPhone. Would suggest not to disturb setup until iPhone gets unlocked. However, you can try other way around, convert TrackFone pSim to eSim and use it. Provide 2nd IMEI of iPhone when you activate TrackFone eSim.

I believe TW is treating 3 months $165 plan differently than single $55 monthly plan. Got same answer from customer support guy when I asked about Disney+ promo. Also noticed that when I tried to add 2nd line with free Galaxy A36 phone with port-in promo, I can see full price in cart at final checkout page. Not sure that just me or it is applicable to all who are on same $165 plan.

Is this only with a switch? Could I get this deal if I wanted to just buy the phone and the 3 month plan with a new number? Thinking about this for one of our kids, but not sure if the logistics work with all the requirements.
