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
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.

desktop portal or phone app? (android)
and then where do i find it exactly?
EDIT: found it. you have to use the desktop portal, on the manage account [lycamobile.us] page. there's a section "Account & Pin number", click the "View" button and it sends a OTP to your number
I hope not. For me, the whole point of getting a second line is that it will be discounted to 30 instead of 55. If you wait 30 days, your first line would be expired.

Metro has implemented many "anti-fraud" measures, but nobody knows for sure what they are! Some tricks used to work but not anymore.
I was actually surprised that my first order went though smoothly (using a different email address but everything else was used once about two years ago). I got the same message on my second attempt, but the trick of using the first device to place the order worked.
After activating the second order, I tried to order a Samsung watch but failed 5 or 6 times with all possible "hacks" I could think of.
1) get this iPhone 13 for $55 porting google voice burner number
2) do the 16e porting deal ANOTHER burner google voice number but you trade in this iPhone 13 for hopefully $100-150 credit which can be used to pay towards the 16e / 3 mandatory monthly plan premiums.
Anyone have any idea is this possible at all?
- I placed my 2nd order/line for a i13 at Metro on 2/15, porting in a number from Lyca.
- Got a shipping notification email on 2/16. Soon after I activated on Metro website & received activation confirmation email from Metro on the same day (2/16).
- i13 was delivered earlier today. Turned on i13, went thru the set-up and got confirmation on the i13 that it is activated.
- However, the phone number is still active on Lyca (I have the Lyca eSIM on my other spare phone). I could make calls and send texts.
- I am also able to make calls and send texts from the i13.
- On the i13, tried calling the same number I ported into Metro (from Lyca) and the phone with the Lyca eSIM rings
- On the phone with Lyca eSIM, tried calling the same number I ported out (to Metro) and it goes to voice mail
Thoughts?
