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
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.

In December, I was buying a phone on ebay to trade into tmobile. I actually called tmobile first in setting up the iPhone 17 purchase with trade in. When i gave them the IMEI number, the rep said you cannot trade in this phone because it is locked (I am assuming service locked, not financially locked). I didn't know that was a rule (and i am still not sure if that's correct). What about people bringing their phones from Verizon/ATT to tmobile? Do they have to get them unlocked before they can trade them in? This being a MVNO of T-Mobile makes it even more unique of a situation.
I wonder if the phone I was going to buy at ebay was financially locked which may be why it was rejected at tmobile?
And yes i have searched this thread and did not find a definitive answer.

quick guide of how i ported google voice number in:
1) ordered the moto g stylus 2025 first. new number, no port-in needed. $55
2) after shipment, activate it by using the order status link [metrobyt-mobile.com]
3) after delivery, put in sim and go through phone setup
4) pay $3 in google voice to unlock number. get port account number and pin [reddit.com]
5) open up chrome in guest mode and log into metro site. you will need the new phone number, metro password pin, and sms text verification code
6) add a new line -> choose iphone 13 -> enter google voice number for port-in -> it should show the $30 price
7) go through checkout using the port info above (i used my own zip code). after entering port info, the page said the port was still processing and to wait a few minutes
8) after a few minutes it went through and then let me enter my cc info to finish checkout ($30)
(you need to pay for the 4th month to get the gift card, and there's no guarantee it will come automatically. you may have to call in and deal with it which is more manual work)

keep it on one account. you get a discount when adding the second line ($30 instead of $55)

iphone 13 im not sure about. you'd have to try your luck and hope for the best
you only need to wait if you want the $55->$30 discount. that requires you to log in and add a new line
however, you could also just try to set up a new account with different email/cc if you dont mind paying the full $55
One question - If I'm going the one month route, after I have received the devices and they are fully activated, do I need to manually login to my account(s) and "cancel" the service for each one (iPhone, g stylus 2025, Galaxy Tab, etc) or just ensure autopay is off so it doesn't auto renew?
ive seen reports of limit 2 for the iphone 16e, but ive also seen reports of some people able to order a third

We traded 6 Metro iPhone 12 to T-Mobile for our upgrades last year. Was waiting for iPhone 13 to go down to free with one month plan. Time to stock up for at least a couple of upgrades.
