Don't know why the downvoting. I gave you thumbs up. $20 cheaper than yesterday. Looks like now only 2 levels of plans $55/50 and $65/60.
They also raised the prices of a lot of phones but not the 13. Appreciate the update.
Then asked for my account number and pin, plugged this in
Took five minutes to secure the port (got an email from number barn as well of transfer initiation)
On the check out screen phone showed up as $199
Started a chat, rep first said it is due to the fact I selected the $50/$55 plan. Said fine, I'll change even though the medium print says this would be sufficient
Change to the $60/$65 plan
Still showed $199
Chat rep said it need to call the port department to release the port and see what's going one
I gave up, wasted enough time at that point. $5 number barn number down the drain.
If anyone figures out their horrible checkout system, please update here.
Good luck to the rest of the slickdealers.

Number Barn & Google Voice numbers no longer qualify for device discount with port in promotions. With that being said, it's not unheard of for the Metro website to have bugged pricing even when you port in for a carrier that is eligible.

You need a port from say total wireless, TracFone, att, Verizon etc. no Google voice or number barn

@slicklorey @ScarletHome - I was not aware of this. About a year ago. Number Barn worked for a tracfone promo.
are all the MVNOs excluding number barn and google voice from promos?
i wasn't able to get it through using a red pocket number(labeled as cingular) it kept failing at the port section i was able to get i through using a spectrum mobile though.
Just ordered one and am porting from spectrum. Last order I did was in January. Same email. Slightly different address and virtual credit card with $110 on it. Asked me a few easy questions and Spectrum verified port. Crossing my fingers.

I tried Twigby Mobile runs on Verizon network. It worked. Will cost you around $10 including all taxes.

That depends on what network your Red Pocket line runs on. Red Pocket has 3 options (TMO / ATT /VZW) when you sign up them. If it is TMO then won't work.
