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.

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.
I chatted with them as well. I told them their ad is kind of deceiving. They are going to call me back tomorrow night so hopefully they do me a solid.

Looks like unlock policy changed to 2 months active service for most of the other offers . I guess for this deal, we paid 3 months service fee and phone will unlock automatically after 60 days

For TextNow when you entered the number in "Check if your number is eligible" it sends a text to your TN number you can't verify as you need premium feature for $1.99/- weekly? Anyone else got a workaround?

I'm curious to know if anyone has been able to successfully order more than one of these phones on their account w/o having to use someone else's ID to validate the subsequent purchase?

Just use a regular number at checkout. Then when you receive the phone you can use the text now number to port

Don't hold your breath with providing ID that they don't go after you for 9 months of extra payments like Boost did for their iPhone deal

You should be able to order 2nd phone at discounted price now that you've got an active line in the account.
