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 have tried different credit cards and dont want to put my credit card information out their to get an accidental charges. I was able to sell my first phone for 220 bucks so I'm not getting stuck with this company for a year.
Also what is the limit per household, five per year? I bought 3 phones previously and 2 this time but couldn't buy more.
one if the ways that has worked for me is when ordering the second phone, use the second phone itself to order and turn your wifi off and use the data connection only. No payment issues or security concerns message

I dont need the actual network signal to work, just Wifi calling with airport mode on and wifi on.

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.
Then it maybe an address issue, if bought more than 3-4 devices over the last year or something. The first line of the address is matched and not the second line.
Again this is my experience only

yes, this is the way. chrome incognito did not work for me

I will take a break and try again after couple days...maybe a new C1 virtual card + address alternation + cellular data/vpn to see if that can bypass the security check

You can try using a phone data connection, maybe that will help. Work wifi are not helpful.
Again this is based on my experience, got frustrated myself a couple deals ago but then figured it out and works for me.
