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.

Quote from ayall :
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.
Will Google voice number work?

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?
I live in southern Oregon.

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.

My current mobile plan ends 08/15, can I buy this now and activate on 08/15, or is there deadline by which i need to activate?

I was wondering the same thing. Looking at this for my son who still has some time left on his Mint Mobile account

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
Yeah, customer service actually suggested I charge back with my bank since they can't even see the transaction now. oh my...

i ordered 13
Non of the links in my targeted emails work for Total Wireless. They are expired. I had $120 at one point. Now its just $15. Today is also the last day my credit card offers is good. I've been trying to browse Total Wireless in both the app and browser with extension but still no emails.

Things seem different with them lately. Lots of posts on Reddit how they are reducing the gift card redemption options. One of my accounts has about 90 which is good but other has only about 40 with crappy options.

The only other higher option is $20 back but that site is annoyng if it doesnt track, takes months to resolve case

But basically if I can get a good email with a goods reward offer today I will pull the trigger but if not I may wait to see whats happening at end of week with the 4th.

Purposely not mentioning any names of sites here to best adhere to rules

I already prepaid 3 months of mint for visiting family and would be nice if I can get this deal, activate it in about 2 months so she can use the service for 3 months after it unlocks and she can take it back to Asia as unlocked device. Can i buy this but not activate for next 2 months to not overlap with Mint?

Just activated phone I got last week. Used GV number I signed up for last week. Let it sit for a few days to make sure.
In the GV website page, setup Voice Mail via phone or listen and added a four digit PIN (this is your port out PIN in Total Wireless port request).
For address, unused the Mountainview Google addy. Account # is your 10 digit GV number.
Unlocked your GV number for $3.

Took about 4 hours to xfer, TW called me about 5 minutes after the port request to tell me how the process would happen and it could take up to 2 days to port.

Got a text from TW once port was complete and rebooted the phone before making test call.

Overall effortless process.

Guys, 1 month ago I got mint unlimited for 1 year. But quality in Houston is so bad. I can't stand with it. So I'll try this.
By the way, does somebody know if I can stop my mint and get some refund? It was 6+6 months deal with galaxy a15 5g phone
