I was able to get a Red Pocket e-SIM number for $7.78 and successfully ported it in to Metro. Plus Metro total of $165.24. All in with eSIM port-in and Metro is $173.02. Now we wait for it to unlock lol

Phone unlocking in one year is a deal-breaker.

I ordered 2nd phone successfully. When I tried to order 3rd phone it says You're not eligible to add a new line. Has anyone run across this ?
Have you activated your second phone yet?

Not yet. So I guess that's the issue ? Only one at a time?

What are you guys waiting for? I activate mine the second they send me the shipping info. I've done 3 like that so far.

Bingo. Activate your current order and then you can add a new line. You will find your line limit once Metro rejects a new order.

I just checked with my current Tello number on their webside and was told "Your T-MOBILE USA, INC. Mobility number can be transferred to Metro!" Can anybody confirm if Tello number works for port-in?
Thanks!

You could always transfer TMo based numbers -- it just wouldn't give you the full phone discount (you would have to pay more for the phone)

Add the phone to cart with Tello number and see if the phone's price goes up

Check out page shows $155. However, I still doubt because I had a very bad expirence with Metro customer service 2 or 3 years ago.

Yes just do this deal online.Boostmobile has similar deal $99+ $60, without Port-In https://www.boostmobile.com/shop/...pid=001939
Also, be cautious with boost mobile iPhone deals, they changed they terms and require 3 months of service or you have to pay full device price

Google Voice and T-mobile based numbers may initially show the $500 discount, but the discount may disappear on the final step of submit order. Use a Verizon or AT&T based number to be sure. I tried Visible and Tracfone both; Tracfone is just as easy as Visible but cheaper at $15 / $10 with autopay (not recommended). All you need is a compatible phone with both companies for the setup and 2FA, and don't trip any human review needed flags.

I received the shipment email. What's the next step? One more question: my visible account is on auto pay. It does not let me turn it off. Will it be automotically off, when the number is transferred? Thanks in advance.

Important PSA:
Google Voice port ins are working again at Metro! Successfully ported one number and activated phone which arrived today. Ordered a second for $130 plus tax with another GV number. Google charges $3 to port GV number out.
For GV your phone number is your account number and your pin is what you set up in "call to listen" in GV settings. Full porting can take up to a week. Do Not delete the number in GV settings or port will not complete.
