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 can try again and generate that $25 coupon for you but you have to pay me $10 per coupon 😀
2. I was shocked to see someone say 16e doesn't have magsafe... luckily it still does have Qi charging and the case can have magsafe magnets so i'll still be able to use my wireless car mount.
3. After the first GV ports over, when you 'add a line' for a second purchase, is it same discounted price as a new line, or will I have to get a new GV number and port in again?
Big benefit on the 16e is the battery is the newer chemistry and has twice the charge cycles vs anything before the 15, and of course USBC.
- 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?
Your number transfer cannot be transferred at this time.
You must cancel your transfer to continue"
then says something about "you will get a new number and your cart will be updated"

how exactly did you get your account number/port pin from lyca - phone app, desktop website, called in?
hmm what would i say though?
because the transfer failed, i never completed the metro checkout ... no order number, email confirmation, or credit card auth. how can i ask them to complete the port in that case?
