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.

did you find a solution? I'm not in your same situation but I want to know the IMEI of the phone to be delivered before it arrives, thank you
I have to call the customer service to get it activated and did not find any other option in my case.

1) When making the purchase it requires the phone number that will be ported in. Can I just use any number now (imaginary phone number), then obtain a TextNow phone # when I receive the iphone and submit the porting number/info to activate? Or must the phone number at time of purchase be the same as the number ported in upon activation?

2) Can someone tell me what's the Chase cashback offer? Does Chase/Amazon Visa CC qualify?

3) Any other CB method that works on this deal?

Thanks!

Many here have reported you don't have to port in with the number you chose when placing the order. I found $20 CB site starts with letter t

I am in for two. Ported my numbers and got the deal. I currently have two iPhone 12 Pro/Maxes, which are dying slowly. This will get me/spouse to the September Finish Line so I can score two iPhone 17 Pro Maxes. Excellent deal! Thanks OP!

Quote from ratbastard View quoted comment :
Realistically, how many more iOS updates is this going to get? I got one of these only for Airtag tracking because I prefer Android, but Airtags have no comparable rivals. I would imagine updates are tied to CPU versions, right? The iPhone 14 series basically uses the same chipset, so I'm thinking that helps the 13's chances of another year. The 13 was released in 2021, so maybe 2 more updates? That would be generous of Apple.
Apple also like to maintain high resale value and will pay quite a bit to buy back their phones. With prior iPhone deals like this through Metro, straight talk, total, etc, I pretty much get my money back after a few years.

I ordered two devices in my account in two different orders, and the orders went through. However, one was shipped and delivered but the other had a shipping label but not given to UPS yet. Does the 2nd have any chance to be shipped?

Ordered two, about 15 minutes apart.
One shipped the next day, the other didnt go out for two days.
They both ended up being delivered together.

had the same thing, eventually UPS got it and got delivered. You might have to wait another day or 2.
