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 used a GVoice number, paid the $3 and set password before buying the phone on the 13th, while it shipped, I activated the line, said successful, and then error 😕. Once I got phone, it was already working 😀, got text and signed in, no extra port in steps. Gvoice $3 was out of "pending" on credit card and Gvoice shows as "Delete number". Some outgoing texts still go to Gvoice 🧐 Not shure if I should Delete the GV number or stay the same # in case something happens.
I should not have transferred my old xs phone to it, because of delay to test out and it made a mess of the old phones sims textnow and tracfone esim, but set the metro esim to disable/enable, airplane mode and its all sorted out.
After all that, phone is working fine, account logs in. First step is to get that Samsung watch, but the same error when checking out "Please contact us to complete your order." Bank shows the amount is billed and refunded a few minutes latter. I wonder if they are out of stock on the watches or its the device/address limit. Hopefully the watch offer remains for a while to try again 😞 need to replace my old Active 2 that went inflated battery 😇last Nov.
