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.

Pretty much the same phone except no sim slot.
In addition to all the other things you were wrong about, it also has six gigs of RAM, which is 50% more than four gigs.

I wouldn't use a musk product and most people don't use Tmobile. Also, even in that wildly limited Tmobile use case. it's not a safety feature. It doesn't include crash detection, or reaching rescuers if you fell down and can't respond.
lol, "people don't use T-Mobile"? What? 118 million customers and the second largest in the US. I suspect you are suffering from TDS.

13 Pro has 6GB of RAM. Does that make you feel better?

Quote from dirks7649 :
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.
I have a port in problem right now, calls and texts do not work. But data works. TW offered to activate on a separate line, but I declined since that seemed like a hassle.

Since I'm only interested in the 60day unlock, it sounds like I should just wait even though my port in didn't work?

Wow, what a world we live in....where we need to verify our identity to a third party (who resells our ID info) just to buy something.

Back in my day, we only needed money to buy something.

Buy regular price and you don't need ID. You can't have it both ways.

Quote from davegar :
I understand you need to pay an additional $2 to park the number and change the settings to receive SMS. A better option is to use a different number to purchase the phone where you can receive texts, then use the Number Barn number when you port. You do not have to use the same number to purchase that you use to port in my experience.
I didn't have to. I just went to the phone number after 2 hours and activated SMS incoming.

Back in my day we paid what it was worth with maybe a coupon. No subsidized stuff like this… they want credit worthy people who can continue the plan. Just be glad they don't require a contract and roll the odds on the quality of their service
Yea but all the stuff y'all "did in your day" landed us where we are now.

Placed an order for the iPhone 13 but see the 14 is $100 more. Will try to see if I can get it changed to that tomorrow as order has not shipped yet.

Good luck, they usually refuse to cancel orders & just tell you to return (at your cost).

Very irrelevant when someone said iphone 14 is basically the same as the 13. It's like you don't understand conversations.

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?

2 per person, and GV TOS are 1 number per person, and their automation has gotten better at detecting if you're trying to get a number when you already have, or use to have one.

Apple loves people like you. Mindlessly throwing away money for their minimal upgrades.
Even Steve Job's daughter, one of the recipients of your money, famously bashed the iPhone 14 as being almost the same as the iPhone 13. It's like you don't understand what's happening.
