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).

but I got this error message when I tried to place an order with Metro:
"Sorry, we couldn't reserve your number.
We're weren't able to connect with your carrier to get your number reserved. Please continue with a new number, or visit a store to complete your number transfer. Promotions may vary in-store."
Anyone else have this error message, or how to get solve this issue?

Thanks for the info, but do you know if keeping it in "limbo" invalidates the unlocking of the phone?
it wont take more than 5 mins to call them to complete it. with the current influx of slick dealer buying the phone the past couple days, the customer services is already know about the GV.
I do know if you dont complete the port in, the port in process will be canceled or time out and im not sure what Metro will do at that time, they cant tell you to return the phone, they probably call you to submit the process again. This scenario i haven't experience it. worst case they can back charge the full amount cause you did not bring in your number from another carrier per their promotion policy.
iPhone 13 - $49.99 ($299.99 without a new line)
You'll need to:
Purchase an eligible phone.
Activate a new line of service on a phone plan (min. $45 + tax) and make a payment. 12-month annual plan not eligible.
Sign up for AutoPay in the same transaction (in-store only).
Pay activation fee $15 per line for AT&T retail store and in-home expert activations.
Pay any applicable sales tax.
My math is you pay:
$49.99 for the phone,
$45 plan for a month,
$15 to activate.
Total: $110 +tax.
I am okay with this number, however I need to enroll AutoPay at the activation, the question is:
How easy it is to cancel AutoPay with ATT (thus to avoid paying anymore months)? I know some carriers make it really hard to cancel.
Anyone had experience?
