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 forgot my pin too.
i wish they told us to write it down and that we would use it again
Also, if I port in a number I want to use/keep. After the 30 days (or even before), can I port it back out to a cheaper MVNO (i.e. Mint or Visible)? Would the phone still unlock after 365 days if I do this?

and to verify it's me, they are trying to send a 6 digit code to my GV number
but my GV isn't getting any text message from Metro.
stuck here....
edit: nevermind. i had to go through the full activation process on the iphone, and then the text message was received on the iphone, not google voice.
