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 can make out going calls, but cannot receive calls. When I call the Metro line from my other cell pone, I get a recording tat says "Hi, if you leave your name, I will try and see if the person is available" or some thing like that.
I also cannot send or receive text messages.,
I called Metro, but all they did was reset my phone number and told me to restart my phone.
No change.
I checked the phone settings for call screening: It is set to not call screen.
Anybody having the same issues or is it just me?
Thanks
