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).

Super lucky or something. I can't get the 2nd GV port out to work at ALL. Not online on my own, not via chat support, not via calling on the phone... Just stuck. Even tried a separate GV account under my wife's name, separate Metro account, no joy. Always get sent to the damn "call us or go to a store" page.
I should be able to sell most of it and buy myself that new s26 ultra next month.

I did the Moto Razr deal a couple of months ago and could only buy two. Same this time (under a different name in the family). My second order failed on the first attempt. It went through on the second attempt, though I was challenged with 3 background questions (like one of my previous addresses and a vehicle I've owned). Trying to open a new account under yet another name in the family doesn't work. Game over for me this round.
Don't know if the bug is in their system, but you may have to keep trying until the error message disappears. Both of my new lines are associated with different devices now.

Asking because I chose the 16e as well, but while the order is processing and awaiting shipping, I started to think I should have got the free iphone 13 instead.
Thanks

May I ask why you chose the 16e that is $100 vs getting the free iphone 13?

OTOH I have an iPhone 14 as my current phone and the 13 seems every bit as good as a phone so you can save money if you like. If you order the 13 as your second phone it's just $30 and that's hard to beat.
