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.

Lyca is very difficult to port out of.
Now you can get account/pin using their portal, no need to call and go through long verification including last called numbers etc.

Once the phone arrives, you can login to your account and buy a samsung galaxy watch 7 40mm LTE version for $29.99 + $10 service by adding a watch line. If you don't have existing service, watch will cost $199.99. So need to wait for the phone to arrive and activate to get $40 watch.

Tried to add the watch with the previous Moto Stylus 2025 deal, but got "call us/visit us error", charged and refunded, Will try when the iPhone 13 arrives to get the watch. Might be a 2 device per address limit. I got greedy 😞

Ordered one with GV last night. Does anyone know if adding ordering second or any consecutive order results into discounted plan prices for the additional ported lines? From what I remember, last year the first line (new account) was about $75 but the additional new ported lines were $35 each. I got 3 last year and traded into apple for a MacBook. This time I'd like to get at least 2 and if possible 4 iphone 13s to trade with 16e or 17.

Happened to me as well. I figured I entered my zip code for porting but when I changed that to 94043, it worked!
what is the significance of the zip code? is that for use when signing up with Metro, with a GV number?
