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).

Yeah some people on the thread have reported issues using their home Zip (I'm guessing their Zip didn't match their GV area code), I never tried my actual home Zip because I remember doing a similar Metro deal in the past and using the Google Zip but home Zip may have worked as well assuming it's one that's from the specific area code of the GV number.

We're weren't able to connect with your carrier to get your number reserved. Please continue with a new number, or visit a store to complete your number transfer. Promotions may vary in-store.
Got above message, called customer service, still no go. They said someone is trying to use my number to port out. I clearly told that that was me and was trying to port out to them only. t
They said attempted 4 times, but I know I attempted only once in last 24 hours and another over the phone. Now they asked me to wait 24 hours and call them again! There seems to be some issue at their end.

login to google voice-Setting
Unlock your line -pay 3 bucks
In settings further down Toggle the voicemail setting to set your pin your phone number is your account # your Pin is your voicemail pin and your zip is 00000
2 hours later, it worked. I used the zip code that matches up with the area code.
So I don't know if the delay was needed, or the matching zip code, or both....?
