I got this promotion 2 days ago, I had to call 5 different stores around my area, all them were charging $400 - $500 price out of the door. Only on one I was able to get $300. They asked me for my ID and I had to verify myself with a selfie scanner, just like the website. FYI

I used Red Pocket number to port in, but at the final step of transfering after waiting about 5 minutes Metro said my number cannot be transfer at that time. I still got a text message from Red Pocket alarm about a request for transfer.

Did somebody got shipping notification? I ordered On 24 Night and still didn't receive any tracking/ shipping info. I selected 2-3 days shipment. Hope they don't cancel the order which will be tricky since line is already ported to metro.

How can they Port the number fully without even having the new device in hand? Come on dude, seriously?Your port is simply "approved" at the moment, not actually done 🤦 ♂️

Is 2 lines + 1 tablet line a hard limit now? Tried to add any new phone + line, after hitting confirm on the final screen, get the call us for your security screen.

Visible numbers usually work well. Also use Chrome browser with incognito mode that seems to work best.

The referral thing has sailed. Discounts are usually now for the 2nd month, past when you ported. They recently did have a discount on their website which took $5 off. The cheapest plan will suffice, so $25 is their cheapest plan and whatever discount they may have, if any. Redpocket is cheaper but I have not used them yet.
