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.

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).

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

Yep you are correct. Since they haven't shipped I will refuse the shipment. Ordered the 14 using another number.

Got this to work yesterday. Thanks OP.

Bought a Google voice number two days ago but could not check out that same day - kept getting an error in total wireless checkout. Waited a day and tried again - worked like a charm.

Once this arrives and the number port finalizes, I'm going to try to buy another one.

Has anyone ordered 2 on the same order? What was the total? Was there a multi-line discount that applied. TIA

Do the TW rewards points redeemed for $$ off a device work on these deals where the phone is free and you're paying for the plans only?

shopping trip shows ineligible when order was shipped, cashback was added later when phone is activated.

Thanks. Surprised because terms say not valid on subscription and technically that's all you are paying for
