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.

Activated my number a few days ago with Google port. Mobile data Works, texting outgoing and incoming works going and calls out work but receiving calls still go to Google voice. Should I give it a few more days?

"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."
Don't think GV works on weekends.

I made the mistake of trying to port a google voice number before unlocking it. I subsequently unlocked it, but now that number won't port. Total Wireless says Google is telling them my account number isn't correct. I explained to the rep that I don't have an account number, but was able to port another number with the account number 000000 which he was able to see in the system.

Any ideas on how I can fix this other than trying to deal with Google Voice support? Thanks!

Don't you need to enter your phone number and verification code during checkout?

Not true online, but stores are the wild west, every man for themselves.

GV tells you that your account number is your phone number (xxxyyyzzzz)

Your port out PIN is the voicemail "call to listen" PIN

Ported out two numbers last week, and I will get both iPhone 13s delivered today. This was simple and seamless. I will report once I use the port-out code and set up these phones. Thanks to the OP!

Yes you can enter any number during the initial process to receive the text. After you get the phone is when you will need a number to port which you can get from numberbarn for $5.

Can you tell me how much you paid per line? Went to the store and they were saying there would be tax on the full price of the phone which was something like $520.

Just bought a 3rd iPhone 13 on 5/19. Since I gave my mom a Mother's Day gift, she didn't mind me using her ID so I could facilitate the transaction. Total has already charged my card so I'm just patiently waiting for them to send me the shipping/tracking info.
S/N: One caveat that threw me off was when I tried using the same account that I ordered the first phone w/, it kept prompting me w/ an error message saying "We're sorry" followed by to "call some 1-800#." In order to pivot, I tried creating a whole new account to order the phone, but that didn't work so as a precautionary measure, I turned on my VPN to "Dallas, TX" and also for good measure, I had my mom text the verification code to her phone instead and there was no need to do any ID verification since we had already done that prior, and then I was eventually able to select a plan to finalize my purchase, but I opted to use a different credit card instead just in case.
