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.

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.
What if you hide DOB and part of DL number? Wonder if they would still approve. I know my old DL is on the dark web with my ss# thanks to T-Mobile

Incoming calls and texts are now working today. So in total...2 days to port out Google Voice number to TW for us. Used our actual address and zip code instead of Google's address in Mountain View, CA.

Just a fair warning if you had trouble with the port in e.g. incoming calls not working etc. this happened to me and they inactivated my line and then activated the line again but in the esim2 on my phone. After that it was a complete shit show, they refuse to unlock after 60 days, claim I switched line and use the eSIM on a different phone. I can only urge you to check your activated lines in your account, in my case there was a dead initial line and a second activated line but they counter days of service on the initial line that they themselves switched over to the 2nd eSIM. These guys are idiots- I am already in my 2nd FCC complain.

If for some reason the phone does not unlock while overseas(in Asia) can it still be used as a wifi device for facebook and messenger?
yes, you can use it for other purposes which does not need an active mobile number using wifi. But if you want to unlock it far later, TW might say they don't have your active number/record anymore. Happened to me once where phone was in drawer/off and it didn't get unlocked and when i tried unlocking after almost an year, they said they don't have record of this device anymore/number not active/linked to someone else.

If you port a GV number can you port it back to Google afterwards? GV now limits phone numbers to activate on a cell phone so it is only one number per actual cell number.

Thanks

I think people would be shocked to learn how much of their info is already out there. This ID verification process is nothing.

Whats with all the ppl going with NumberBarn btw? Why not just use GV?

I am considering doing this for my in-laws. Do they limit this deal to one per address?

How many have you purchased? I bought one iPhone 13 last year from Total Wireless approx. a year ago when the price was ~$210 plus taxes. They still had my account active.

Just bought one last night and got shipping details. Got my UPS tracking but still on UPS label created
