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.

So I can find Iphone 13 128GB in very good condition on Ebay. $197 to $214 range. No they are not unlocked but That isn't to difficult. Also I have found them for just about of services in this price range. I am only sharing for the people who don't want to share their info with a 3rd party verification company which I do not.

Very good!!! Vs brand new condition, brand new battery and full warranty in this case.. there is no comparison

Do you have to cancel anything at the end of the 90 days or is it automatic?

Google Voice not in dropdown to select when porting? What should I choose?
Edit: Based on thread search, choosing "Other"

One caveat: I've seen people claim that when activating (not when purchasing) you can choose a new number. Maybe this is possible with chat but I got an error message that the IMEI needs to be activated with an existing phone number

The port seemed to go through within minutes. Outgoing does work. Incoming still going to GV.
You use the same number from ordering with port in?

Yes. Used same phone number. I do not think it is necessary. I do not think they are comparing the number to what you entered when placing the order.

There are probably workarounds to activate with a new number with chat as others have posted. But for $3 I'd rather follow the terms of the deal.

I just created and used GV to port a number to US Mobile to get their 30 day trial on my backup Gmail account a few weeks ago. Created another number on same account and ported that one. I probably should have just ported the trial number out for free. In fact I may do that for a 2nd device, just do not really want to have to deal with their customer service but then again it is a trial and they force you to port so there should be no guilt

How do you get the TextNow port out info? Which plan did you have? Cost?

So you can pay $165 and get 3 months of service, and then cancel - keep the phone and use on a different carrier?

Yes, you can move to a different carrier/swap sim as soon as the 2 months are up and your phone gets unlocked.
