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).

NVM see your answer, you have to activate the 2nd before you can order the 3rd
Tip: if you don't want Metro junk stuff to be on the Tab, just activate it without inserting SIM, if it asks for sim during activation, just press up or down volume key to move forward. In this case it will not be unlocked after a year.

or you could activate with bloatware and then immediately factory reset later.

I haven't updated it because I don't want to kill the RSIM, just in case. I did just order this one, though, so next week I can try it and see, if it's already updated. If not, I'll try it in the locked one since it'll only be a few days after it unlocks anyways.
