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.

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.
This was my experience and many with Straight Talk a year or two ago the Iphone SE deal, They are the same company. Just cancel with no reason and customer service sucks

Anyone know if this iPhone would work with Verizon out the box?

I bought one last year and it worked on tracfone, and on Verizon physical sims.

I didn't have a psim for visible and US mobile warp.

I read that phones from Verizon and Verizon owned MVNOs work out of the box if the psims are Verizon or Verizon owned MVNOs. It's not as restrictive compared to others.

I just got my 2nd iPhone 13 this week. Ordered a Psim from Verizon and will test it out if this still holds true.

Agree'd on best TotalWireless deal for iphone 13 yet, but it is indeed $165, not $155 -- this needs not be updated in the title. You can't apply "autopay' discount to first 3 month purchase at checkout.I'm using google voice number for purchase; hoping the 2 month unlock works so I can use phone with another provider.
Did you get your phone unlocked ? I belive you used google number.

Awesome! Please let me know if it worked. I'm considering buying this iPhone 13 to replace a SE 2020 that I currently use on Verizon with a physical sim.

A word of caution: I took advantage of this deal in May, and I received a phone with a SIM kit that was registered to someone else. After hours on the phone with Total Wireless, they got the phone to activate under my account, but then my online account had someone else's address, order history, and payment information stored in it. This apparently happened when people ordered these devices, but then returned or canceled their orders. Total Wireless did not disassociate the phones from the originally intended purchasers before sending them to new purchasers.

Got a confirmation email that Order went successfully through. Then a day later, I get an email that just said sorry, your order was cancelled! It happened twice! Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

My Pixel was dying so I did this a few weeks ago. Never got tracking info, ordered on a Friday and phone came the next Wednesday. When trying to port from Visible, kept blocking my port out for 6 days and kept denying it was their fault. I had to contact the FCC to complain and that immediately made them release my line. Spent 30 mins on a call with Total Port Team, took 24 hours to manually port my number. Verizon speeds have been awesome and prioritized as it was on Visible. I will port to US Mobile when my 3mo are done. Iphone 13 is still great in 2025 minus lightning port, I just bought some Anker Qi2 chargers for my office, car, bed. Planning on using this new iPhone til it breaks and see what is free in a few years.
