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 received this metro iPhone13 ported with the gvoice burner number and activated. Metro iPhone13 does not have google voice installed. As of right now texts from Verizon carrier phone to gvoice burner # appear on both google voice account texts (on my Verizon phone) AND metro iPhone. Text seems to be working fine.
But phone calls aren't working correctly. Metro i13 calling my Verizon phone works fine. BUT using my Verizon real number to call the gvoice burner number only activates the gvoice app on my Verizon phone. The metro i13 phone isn't ringing at all
"Sorry, but we were unable to save your changes. Please try again."
It has been 2 hours after I activated my phone, still can't login.
Any idea why?
Hello.
May I ask how it was shipped? USPS, UPS, Fedex, etc.?
Is the package small enough for a mail box or they leave it at your door?
THanks in advance.

Was able to buy a second phone thru metro (iPhone 16e 99.99+$35 month fee+$8.75 tax). The porting process took about 5-6min online. Waiting to receive phone and activate.
