Ok your account number is just your GV phone number and your pin is your "call to listen" pin that you set up in the settings of GV. You first have to pay $3 to unlock the GV number.

Porting and failed attempts to order the phone. FYI if you go through the last step and Metro reserved the number you are porting in. But you failed, their payment screen and your order did not go through. Be advised that that number(s) that you attempted to port (no atter how many different phone numbers) are locked in Metro Port Reservation. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THAT NUMBER to process new order using that same # until you call Metro and ask to be transferred over to the porting department and ask them to delete the port. You will also not be able to port it anywhere else until they delete the port reservation. So, all you folks that tried to process a zillion orders after your initial order failed it will never work (even if you fix why your payment didn't go through) until YOU CALL METRO to fix your PORT. With all that said the port dept will want to verify you and the easiest way is for them to send you a SMS to your metro phone so your you don't have a Metro phone working well welcome to the struggle bus have a seat and relax your gong to be on the phone with Metro for some time. Please know this address multiple attempts at porting the same phone number not all the other reasons orders fail on the payment screen. All I can say on that one is , Don't use VPN, don't use discover, don't use a virtual number, wait 48 not 24 hours for your last order attempt to clear out of their system and if you are a religious person…pray

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

For those of you having the fraud screen, do this -

Use a VPN
Different credit card #
Add a fake apartment # to your address (if you live in a house)

This has worked for me in the past.

This was the most infuriating process with trying to secure the deal. Wasted $10 on numberbarn and $3 on Google voice. Still no luck.
You tried lower case names and address? Also, keep off wifi?

I have information don't need useless historical stats. You won't get $180 GC once 17e gets released Thursday.
Looks like the 17e release date is shifted to March 4th. So you guys have two more weeks to start trade-in before prices go down.

Yes, look at the post after my original post for the fix. It's also in the wiki.
I'm assuming if you want to get more lines under the same account for the cheaper price, then you have to be able to login?

how do you get the lyca $5 plan (cheapest i saw was $10)?

can i get a new random number from lyca to port or do i have to port into lyca?
e.g. https://www.lycamobile.us/en/23-u...-campaign/ is $5 for the first month. With eSIM, you'll have a number in a few minutes. Don't forget to disable auto-payment.

What a ride with both ST/Tracfone. I thought i had few #'s which expired last week and now they need $10 for each line to be active to get the move out pin. Another $30 cost.

If you noticed, this iPhone 13 actually shipped with recent iOS 26.x version meaning it was just manufactured by Apple recently.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try again later. Tried like 8 times in the last 5 days with several different numbers. Almost about to give up.
