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

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

It should work. Someone also posted how to use Tracfone service for $15 to activate on a existing unused phone and port it out by yourself.

Nice! So the 2nd line would be $24 cheaper than the 1st line?
Quote from roberthhid :
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.

Will we ever need to login to metro account later if we bought it only for tradein/unlocked(after a year)? asking because it looks like the text verification to login to metro account is tied to the phone number we just ported in and noway to disable verification or change it to a different number. Thanks in advance.

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.

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.
Can you please share the steps to activate without haviing the phone delivered ? For me its asking for a verfication code sent to the phone to reset the pin and I dont see the second line in my first account online. Thanks.

You didn't get the email?

I hit that button in the email and activated all my phone's the minute they shipped.
