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.

Same here. Also activated with a new number, and text to 611611 replied with unlock policy. Hope it can be unlocked.
611611 stopped giving unlock date months ago, it's just the standard unlock policy now so basically useless.

Hi everyone,
I'm about to get this deal. However, 2 months later, I'm likely to be in another country due to business trip. Will the phone still be unlocked or I need to stay in America?

I successfully ported my number from Spectrum, however, my iPhone cannot make and receive calls and texts.

I see the line in my TW account as "activated" in transaction history, and my data works though on my TW SIM card.

Since I'm only holding the phone for the 60-day unlock, I don't think I need to contact support to fix my call / text issue?

I've bought an iPhone 11 from TW in the past and it successfully unlocked when out of the country (in Canada). I think you just need to be connected to Wifi.

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...

Same . If you read the fine print it says not eligible for plans. The phone is free so we are only paying the 3 months of service.

Plan is tied to psim and gets activated with phone. You'll have to contact support & see if they can activate esim with the psim plan (& if it will affect unlock). Might be safer to just use psim.

Successfully ordered and received 6 units in 3 orders, based on 3 household member ID verification. Was also able to take advantage of METRO deal, so received a total of 15 units of iPhone 13 across 3 individuals at different addresses. Will use 15 phones for trade in at Apple. These carrier promotions are all very useful, I already got over 10 units of iPhone 13-iPhone 15 in the past year through various carrier promotions.
Very slick deal. Thanks!
