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).

My GV account now only has delete option, doesnt give me lock/unlock? unless it charged my google pay on file.
When does the GV charge you 3 bucks? I did the unblock but it didnt ask me for any credit card etc, I do have a google balance but in the history also there is no 3 dollar charge. I place an order with Metro and it went through. Just litle fuzzy as to why the $3 was not charged yet by GV

UnlockUnlock XXX-XXX-XXXX with Google Voice?
Your Voice number is locked to prevent someone else from taking it. To port this number to another service provider, unlock it before starting the porting process with your new provider.
The cost for unlocking your number is a one-time fee of $3.00 USD paid through Google Pay. If your number was ported into Voice from another service provider, you won't be charged for unlocking the number. Learn more

Maybe that isn't true anymore but it was 10 years ago.
So metro phone should work with T-mobile even during the one year period before the phone would unlock fully? correct?
