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?

Quote from SeriousGazelle2003 :
The problem with ID verification is that their computer software has the potential to scrape all info, including sensitive stuff like the ID number and Date of birth. Not worth some $100 savings in my opinion.
Where do you get iPhone 13 for 250? Genuine question, I'd like to try to use iPhone for a while since my s22ultra is seriously acting up, stopped getting reception. I'd be happy to buy new iPhone for 250...

It takes several weekdays to port out from GV (it's mentioned in thread numerous times).

Quote from shopkins82 :
I'm in for one. I've been using a work phone as my personal for about 3 years, but the office recently decided the tax ramifications were too much to deal with and gave us 2 months to stop all personal use of work phones. I've batted around every combination of the 16 (Xfinity) and 16e (Visible, Total) deals, used 12/13/mini on US Mobile, Boost, Xfinity, etc. My only real requirement was MagSafe and not Plus/Max size (both for compatibility with the MagSafe charger in my car). After the 3 months are up, I'll probably move to US Mobile or switch my home internet to the $30/mo 400mbps plan on Xfinity and use their free 1-year mobile line offer. I actually ascribe a bit of value to the free Disney+ Premium included with Total, but not enough to keep me with them past the included 3 months (but it will be nice, Disney+ has the absolute worst and most obtrusive ads, plus the ad plan doesn't include Dolby Atmos audio).
You can upgrade it to ad free. There is a thread on reddit. However the monthly fee is a rip. Their byod deal is better if they still have it.

Mine took about 24 hrs (maybe a GV reset after midnight) for incoming calls to switch, but I could make outgoing calls immediately.

I plan to buy the phone to send to a family member overseas.

Is the 60 day unlock something that is sent to the phone or is it like an internal timer once you activate the phone?

If I need to I can keep the phone locally until the 60 days passes to confirm it is unlocked.
But it would be nice to send it by air immediately.

Question for those who have done multiple sorts of these deals... can I buy this, and not activate it for several months? Or is activation required right away?

I got in on the Razr deal, but the pre-paid service on that won't end until Sept. Ideally I could buy a 2nd phone, keep in a drawer, then activate the 2nd phone in Sept ...basically as if I bought several months from now.

But not sure if that is how this works.
