Ok your account number is just your GV phone number and your pin is your "call to listen" pin that you set up in the settings of GV. You first have to pay $3 to unlock the GV number.

Porting and failed attempts to order the phone. FYI if you go through the last step and Metro reserved the number you are porting in. But you failed, their payment screen and your order did not go through. Be advised that that number(s) that you attempted to port (no atter how many different phone numbers) are locked in Metro Port Reservation. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THAT NUMBER to process new order using that same # until you call Metro and ask to be transferred over to the porting department and ask them to delete the port. You will also not be able to port it anywhere else until they delete the port reservation. So, all you folks that tried to process a zillion orders after your initial order failed it will never work (even if you fix why your payment didn't go through) until YOU CALL METRO to fix your PORT. With all that said the port dept will want to verify you and the easiest way is for them to send you a SMS to your metro phone so your you don't have a Metro phone working well welcome to the struggle bus have a seat and relax your gong to be on the phone with Metro for some time. Please know this address multiple attempts at porting the same phone number not all the other reasons orders fail on the payment screen. All I can say on that one is , Don't use VPN, don't use discover, don't use a virtual number, wait 48 not 24 hours for your last order attempt to clear out of their system and if you are a religious person…pray

The short version, you must call Metro to make sure any/all the number(s) you are porting over that previously succeed Port Reservation but failed Payment are not locked now to metro reservation once locked to metro they will not work with a new order or another wireless company. This deal is killing me softly, now I remember why I avoided Metro for so long

For those of you having the fraud screen, do this -

Use a VPN
Different credit card #
Add a fake apartment # to your address (if you live in a house)

This has worked for me in the past.

You can purchase a number from Verizon/Att to port over to metro. I've done this in the past and it works 100%. This provider sells each number for $15 I think. 100% recommended.

Hi, I see the plan lasts a week, can I switch to Metro and apply for the promotion?

I use phone number 1 for port-in when placing an order. Can I use another phone number for port-in when I receive this phone and actually port in?

Doesn't matter but just use your home zip code.

FYI - RSIM works fine with the iPhone 13. Been using my Metro with RSIM on other carriers for a full year now, it theoretically unlocks in 10 days.

Iphone 14 or later this won't work because they're all eSIM.
RSIM only works for Tmobile or its MVNOs, I can use Lycamobile or Hellium Mobile. No Freeup Mobile. Which carrier you are using?

Please contact us to complete your order. Your security is important to us. Unfortunately can't complete your order online. Our award-winning Mobile Experts are ready to assist you. Please call us or visit a store to continue.
I've had luck before just calling "877-775-3215" (their customer sales number) and ordering, the agent would place the order for you, This only works if this is a new account, adding a line doesnt work they ask you to go to store or online order.

Also, seems like no activation fee when ordering via phone.

Call Metro and then try to place the order. I do it this way and have done in the past as well, only works if you are a new customer and not adding a line. "877-775-3215" its $55 and be ready to give card details over phone.
