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.

The $50 plan included Disney+ for 6 months, when I cancel the arrive after 3 months, I still have 3 months left on Disney+?
No
If you choose to discontinue your eligible plan during the 6-month promotional subscription period, your promotional subscription will end on your Total Wireless service end date, and any remaining time in it will be lost.

worked for me for $5
When you received the phone, how did you port your number?

I can not figure out how to activate/port my Visible number or use my number barn number.

PS I chose Verizon as my carrier since visible is not listed. I will update if it works.

YMMV, but I activated after 22 days (from purchase to porting activation). After a couple weeks you get automatic emails reminding you to activate.

I ported GV number yesterday evening. Outgoing calls started to work instantly but no incoming (even today morning). Is it just the porting period being long for a "landline" type number? Or is it time to contact their support (which I understand is not so great)?
Metoo, I still waiting for activation the phone number port in from GV. Number.

It's mentioned in every TW deal that GV port is slow & can take several weekdays. You have to be patient - TW support has no control over how quickly GV port completes.

Got number from number barn for $5.
In the "numbers" tab there should be something there in regards to porting out. Its been a few weeks but I think there is a port out info button there that you click on and it has the account number and pin.
After you have that info numberbarn will send an email or a message within their webpage that a request to port out has been made and to wait the amount stated. For me this took like 5 minutes to process.
