If you have port in difficulties with GV number call 800-518-7519 and them you have a land line and they will complete your port.
GV port is not complete until you get a confirmation email from google, and you get a text message from Metro 611 that the number transfer is complete.

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
EDIT: after reading the comments on this thread, I see that many people are reporting that a google voice number can be ported over to metro again (like the good old days).

I did get two iphone 13s from metro and visible one year ago. It was good deal to me but now hesitate to jump in
was the iphone 13 $55 out the door last year too?

That's another reason to do this, cause Android ain't got sh*t in this arena.
are you saying that even though it lets you checkout with a valid phone number.... when you actually receive the phone and try to activate, you have to go through this hassle?

If the port is not completed before the original service plans expiration date that can ruin the entire port as well, requiring reactivation on the original carrier. Last common problem is when using VOIP sourced numbers from GV or NumberBarn which are classified as landlines it can take over a week for the port to complete after activation unless you call the Metro Port department and get a hold of a competent rep that can push it through.
