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.

** Be aware! **
I ordered my Moto Edge 2024 from Total Wireless in April, and the phone has SIM unlocked after 60 days of service. However, I found the *eSIM* of the phone wasn't activated and the eSIM is disabled(greyed) today and I chatted with their support, they couldn't activate/enable the eSIM on my phone.
The Moto Edge 2024 definitely has eSIM on board, so they just enabled the physical SIM but not the eSIM. I felt being fooled Frown
Any suggestions, thanks!

Did you try to install any eSIM, I guess it grey out when no eSIM installed

Has anyone ordered in the last week? I ordered a week ago and it said my order is on back order.

Update: I ordered on the 8th of June and it actually arrived to my USPS PO BOX with Street Address Service on the 12th. I just didn't check my mailbox until today since for some reason the tracking never came through although I got a delayed shipping back order notice e-mail and the order status checker shows pending.

I ordered 2 days ago without ID verification hassle and was able to chose plan and complete order. Tracking shows delivery today.

How did you bypass ID verification? Did you forfeit the discount?

I'm lost. I purchased a number from number barn. paid for texting abilities. I have spoke to 4 reps. about 5 hours total now. They need me to pay for the first month of service. How is the iphone free? I paid $165 for "Total 5G Unlimited 3-Month
$154.85/mo" and the iphone 13 was labeled as free. but support keeps getting stuck saying they dont see any prepaid service plan on my account. so the 3 month plan is mia? Do we have to pay for the first month then get 3 more months included? I don't get it.
I have tried reaching out to their social media accounts but they just tell me to DM them but there is no way to DM them.

Support should be able to verify purchase of phone with required plan using your order number. Phone has to be activated with physical sim to get plan applied at activation.

I appreciate the reply. Support keeps telling me there is no service associated to my account. I can't edit any information like adding my name and changing passwords. its like the account is locked. They even have a random phone number that I didnt use for the transfer as my phone number (154) 584 5900. I have no idea how that number appeared. When I look up the order details on their website the order summary is blank and shows just the order total. nothing else.
support is saying they don't even see the phone on their end at first. then they find the phone but cant see anything else.
this is what i see in my email:

after talking to several people they all say their tool for tracking orders is not responding and they cant properly track the order. they will not give me a way to return the phone either and im not going to stay with them at this point. most likely if they wont let me return the phone ill be forced to do a charge back.
edit: i finally got someone to give me the return address. they said there should have been a return shipping label included in the package. there was not. I was told i have to pay in that case and once they receive the phone they will refund me. after spending all this time and getting absolutely nowhere I am just going to do a charge back and throw the phone away. I don't care if i ever get a phone plan from any network associated to Verizon anyway.

this will unlock after 2 months? i.e. the 3 months paid through this deal count as "paid service", not some promo service?

Literally like 15-20 minutes from start to finish. From the second I took the phone out of its box to setting up the number with number barn to starting the port out process.
how about completing the port out process?

  • June 16: I bought a Tello number with a $5 plan to port it out and get this deal.
  • June 16: I completed my purchase.
  • June 20: My order arrived and I tried to port from Tello, but surprise — I still couldn't get the information needed to complete the port out.
  • June 20: I purchased a number from NumberBarn and started the porting process. I had read that it usually takes around 7 days, but to my surprise, the porting was completed in aprox 10 mins.
