Just tell CS that the activation form is not letting you port in your google voice number and they'll give you a new number. GV numbers no longer work so they'll just offer to give you a new number.

My wife and I did this deal earlier. Ordering was easy and we each got the Iphone 14 plus. We ported GV numbers, which wasn't horrible either. Then the issues began. Once or twice a week our phones would go into SOS mode and we would spend hours on the phone or chat trying to get the esims reactivated. It was a TOTAL nightmare. When we bought them, it was 60 days to unlock only, no requirement for the 60 days of paid service as well. We fought with them on this multiple times and were basically told tough shit. We ended up paying for the second month of service on each phone. After 60 days, the phones did not automatically unlock. Several more calls and chats, we were told that our phone were not eligible even though we already did the 60 days. We filed multiple BBB and FCC complaints and we finally got the phones unlocked and switched them to Visible. This was our experience and I can only warn any one thinking about Total Wireless that their support is terrible and that's being nice. At this point I would go with ANY other provider than them.

I was able to unlock my 16e by moving service into the lock phone for the second month. My sister uses total so I lend her my phone for a month. Swapping is hassle but didn't have to pay second month

I think it checks if you have service at 60 day or not. Her number was totally different than what I activated with.

If strictly going by the t&c, it only works with the 14+ deal, cause this regular 14 deal requires "Get for $99.99 when you switch & purchase a 3-month 5G or 3-month 5G+ plan.", and that 3-month plan is indeed "airtime". Has anyone gotten the cap1 $120 cb to apply onto this iphone14 deal? Cause cap1 is horrible for not following through with the cashback offers
So I constantly have keep to track of my purchases through the portal and email them when it doesnt track. I have better success ordering through iphone app then through browser extension. But they have yet to deny me rewards and Ive emailed them about 20 times i, only joined about 8 months ago. One or two times they told me ineligible for Walgreens which because they claimed it was in store purchase but I replied claiming it was online purchase with in store pick up - and they credited me. They even credited me for my LG tv purchase through the partner store which I believe was ineligible.

TLDR, Id take a chance on the 14 and take screen shots of the $120 showing. Its really no different than the 14 Plus b/c that requires service too. You are paying $99 for the phone with 3 months required , and on the Plus $199 for phone with 1 month required ( 2 to unlock)

However, I do think the Plus will have a better chance of going through since $199 > $120 and $99 < $120. My issue with the Plus is that its only red or purple so hard to resell. Buyback max $350 which is low profit for the hassle and risk but with the $120 a little sweeter . Buyback of 14 vs 14 Plus is $70 less on popular buyback site. But cost is almost same.

I see there's another cap1 cb vet in here! Hi-five! Indeed using the in-phone cap1shopping app yields far better tracking, and very little excuses when you're emailing for dispute. I'm currently on a standard 13 and the screen is just too small versus my old pro's. Coupled that with the t&c, and the cap1 $120 off, the choice is being made for me. I was sure last night when I went to complete the deal, but I am more so now. Thanks mate.

These deals are nightmare now.. you got to be on their plan for 60 days. It's not like you activate and leave it . You got to have an active plan for the whole 60 days.

I tried with 16e and activated one month, later when I tried to unlocked they said , I have used the service only for 30 days and they need 60 days of service to eligible for unlocking.

Before this, I had rebranded iPhone 13 to tracfone and they just messed it. Even after buying some plans and using all my points, they never unlocked it. So I had to buy a 3 month plan now and will have to wait for 60 days now to see if there are any issues in unlocking again.

Such a ducking company and the reps are the worst part. They are total duck heads and don't know what they talk about.

I was gonna say Straight Talk is worse but then again they are the same company
Last year I did ST deal for iPhone 13. Paid for 1-month service and waited 2 months to be unlocked. No problem at all. Didn't call or chat with them. But that was the 1st time I ever bought from ST so maybe I was lucky.

I did the same with my iPhone 13. It didn't unlock after 1 month use. Do I call them and activate another month? Or should it be 2 consecutive months?

I think you need the phone app or computer add on. Cap needs to be able to track you so you get targeted deals.

Activate and leave it for overnight, you would see a higher cashback

I bought the 14 plus and got it unlocked on the 63rd day and gifted it to my niece. Is there a way to unlock my number to my old carrier from total without the device?

I get emails several times a day with deals for many of the sites I've visited. Make sure you click on the bell in the upper right on the app (in case you aren't aware).
I just checked the rewards and several good ones are gone. Make sure there is a gift card you would want.

Those who used GV to port, how do you get the confirmation code? It won't go through GV but other text message are fine.
