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.

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.

when you receive the phone can you change the number (check eligibility test) that you had provided at the time of purchasing?

I would imagine so because they ask for your port in number again during the activation process, as well as the provider (just choose "Other" if yours is not listed). I guess you run the risk of the different number not being supported for whatever reason, though.

Just wanted to give a tip here in case someone ran into the same issue with the phone not showing "no sim restrictions" after 2 months of paid service. Called the unlocked department and was told that on their end it was showing unlocked. I've tried to restart the device multiple times but still says "sim locked". So I decided to do a full reset. After this the phone now shows "no sim restrictions."

I hope this might help someone out.

Just signed up for 1 but wondering when I can sign up for the second one? Should I wait until receiving the first one and activating/porting it successfully before getting the second line?

Just to confirm…

This doesn't require activation and port-in within a time limit does it?

I can let it sit in my drawer for 3 months while my mint plan expires and then turn on and port in my number from mint at that point right?

I don't think I see this deal at target, but they do have total wireless. Do they scan your id if you buy a TW phone at target?

Got the phone today. Tried porting in Google Voice number. Phone activated, but when calling GV number from another phone, it still goes to Google Voice...not to the iPhone. iPhone 13 does say its phone number is the Google Voice number. How long does it take to port?
