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

Yes, you have to pay $3 to unlock first and have to transfer the line within 30 days else it will be locked again for security reason.
For unlocking, Metro's policy states that the device will automatically unlock once 365 days have passed from the original activation date. The policy does not require 12 months of continuous paid service — it is based on the activation date, not on maintaining active service for the entire year.
However, during those 365 days, the phone will remain locked to Metro. That means you cannot use it on Mint, T-Mobile, or any other carrier (even though they operate on the same T-Mobile network) until the device is officially unlocked after the one-year period.

So does the Google Voice number need to be UNLOCKED before placing the order with Metro? Or can one unlock the number later after the order is placed and maybe unlock it before activation?
