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.

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

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.
Did you do this with the 13 or 14 ?

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

Oh I see devices free with 3 months of service which amount to 165. If I order a second line of service can I get service discounted on second line? so I have to pay for 3 months of service but device unlocks after 60 days? so I can sell the phone after it unlocks after 2 months of paid service with one month of free service?

Probably, but they might have some of your info on the account

I used family members ID so I could get eight phones sent to my address. My 8th phone order was canceled email said because I'm only allowed six phone shipped to a single address so I used my friend's address to have my 8th phone sent. For my second account i ended up getting one iPhone one razor 2025 and x2 A36. for my a36 on my second month of service I downgraded to $10 talk and text only plan but unlimited mobile data continues to work into my third month of service now. on my Razor after the second month of service i downgraded to same $10 talk and text only plan but free unlimited mobile data didn't work for that one so I think the free mobile data only works on the device that comes with one month of prepaid service

Just don't use autopay and let it expire after 90 days.

Weird. Ordered phone this morning, about 12 hours later I get cancellation email. No reason why...
Edit: they said my bank rejected which is BS since I see the pending charge.
