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.

Tried activating new iPhone 13 with ask for new number option to see if I could avoid having to do the port but I got a screen saying bring your own number was required to activate device so I can confirm that trick isn't working anymore as some claimed it did
FYI I activated mine with a new number without an error. Maybe I got lucky?

Be careful it might not get unlocked eventually if you don't follow the requirements of the offer. Mine didn't get unlocked and I activated as a new number even though I paid for 60 days. It required me to call them and request unlocking the phone. I am not sure if it's was not automatically unlocked because I activated with a new number but GV is only $3 and it's not worth the risk.

My order of iPhone 14 and three months plan finally came after 8 days of waiting. It's black though I ordered white. It doesn't have a plastic wrap out of the box.
Despite of these, I successfully activated the phone, but wasn't able to port in. I sent PORTIN to 611611 but it failed since no service. I clicked the link on the website but didn't receive any message. Anyone can tell me how to port in? Thanks

I just received my phone, and tried to activate the sim on Totalwireless.com. It actually gave me option to either get a new number or port in. Have anyone tried to get a new number to see if it works? that can save the hassle of number porting right?
For my case of the iphone 14 plus, I chose to activate with a new number. I paid for the second month and the phone was unlocked automatically on day 61.

You port in the number at activation. After port completes the phone becomes active. You can't port in if phone is already activated.
I would contact support to find out if phone was activated correctly - if it wasn't there might be issues unlocking later.

Total wireless deactivated my number after 1 month use. Google search what happened, and found out happened at many people, leave this company when plan is finished.

Call Total Wireless support at 866-806-1840 Extension (reference pin) 456123
I was able to port in Google Voice by chatting with the CSR
You will need...
1) Account Number (GV same as your phone number)

I ordered iPhone 14 on 5/16 and phone was delivered 3 days later. Perhaps iPhone 13 is in higher demand?

I ordered iPhone 13 on 5/25, and received within a week. But weird thing is the online order status is still showing remote fulfillment and no tracking info.

I was lazy and tried with new number, and it activated normally. The service works fine, and is showing 3 month unlimited plan. So I guess I should be all set.

thanks, When did you do it? From other razr thread, I heard ---- These phones aren't eligible for new numbers. CS rep tried to set up a new # for me. Couldn't do it.
