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.

how about completing the port out process?
An hour ago, I purchased a number from NumberBarn and completed the porting process. The porting didn't even take 10 minutes.
For the carrier/provider, I selected Other.

Anyone who was able to unlock the phone? Was it after 60 days or 90 days?
I had activated mine on April 20th and waiting to see when it gets unlocked or if I need to do something on my end after 60 or 90 days.

Just go to Settings - General - About phone and scroll down to Carrier Lock and it should say unlocked.

Is it 60 days during the required 3-Month Total 5G Unlimited Plan or after making it $55*5=$275.00?

  • 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.
I had the same issue with Tello for an earlier Total Wireless deal. I just waited it out -- I think it was about 9 days after account creation before I could get the Tello port out information from the account.

You're 100% right except for bigger sensors on the cameras, auto focus on the front facing camera, crash detection, emergency satellite usage for free. And of course, a year longer support.
