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.

do you have to port in or someone tried with new number activation and still get it through?
If it lets you activate with new number its supposed to block new number and shows port required. If it works its fine and the phones will unlock since paid 3 month service.

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.
I activated the past weekend online. Simply chose new number and it went through normally. Guess I'm lucky on this?

I went the Number Barn route before reading people were having success with just choosing a new number via Total Wireless. It was painless to buy the number for $5 but now I'm stuck waiting.
PSA - Number Barn says it will take 2-3 hours to process the number purchase, 3-7 days typically to port out - up to 10 days. 😐️

Capital one shopping portal offer $60 cashback for total wireless, I used it once, $60 shows pending now.

If I login to capitaloneshopping directly, I only see $45 offer; use $45 link to land at total wireless site, surf a little and close browser, you will receive email overnight with higher offer in email; use the offer from email to get $60 cashback.

Capital one says it would give me $120 back on this, but it also said it would give me $57 back on the Razr and never gave it to me when I ordered it so...

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.
Just to confirm, you got a new number. It didn't unlock automatically after 2 months, but it is now after you called customer service?

shopping trip shows ineligible when order was shipped, cashback was added later when phone is activated.

It also says "Not eligible for purchases of plans/airtime & accessories.". Since the phone is free I wouldn't expect rewards. Buying the 14($99) or 14 plus($199) seems like the better deal since it only requires "purchase of 2-month Total 5G or 2-month Total 5G+." I didn't go through verification to confirm the price.

I did not see the option to port my number while activating the new phone, so I continued with a new number and the activation was successful. I see a 3-month plan on the account. Will the phone still unlock after 60 days? I sent a message to 611611 with the word "UNLOCK," but I only received a reply with a link to Tracfone's unlock policy.

Same here. Also activated with a new number, and text to 611611 replied with unlock policy. Hope it can be unlocked.
