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
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.

Moto Stylus on 2/10 and iPhone on 2/12, different email accounts since the moto was in transit. forgot to change to 2026 😅
-Spent 30+ minutes on chat
-Chat tells me to call Port department to cancel pending port-in
-Port department somehow doesn't know how to cancel port
-I get transferred to the noisiest call center ever
-After 45 minutes, they tell me to call Port department
This is way worse than AI. I'm done

Tried to get the watch/tablet but did not work. Error at checkout, called to do it trough phone, but nope, agent couldn't do it even tried 3 cards, sent me to store. Tried various credit and debit cards. Borrowed brothers card with different address, still error. Tried today and still get error. Giving up now. Probably buy a refurb older model on ebay.
How did Metro then flag the order? That doesn't make any sense. The block was apparently at a shipping address and/or credit card.
How is it not working when you changed both of those?

I am giving up on getting any phone with porting promotion from Metro. Although I think Tablet and Samsung Watch still work.
Very frustrated with how the system flagged your address and credit card with limit ... and very messed up porting process for those who are eligible to port but the order did not go through and end up losing their number especially those porting over from Tracfone and Total Wireless...

- Initially i got error at checkout with order of the 1st line couple time, but I got thru at a different day.
- I have ip13, port-in from ST 5 days ago.
- Tried to add the watch7 couple times in the last 2 days online and phone call with my different CC: Flagged/ Error at the checkout
- Today I tried to add a 2nd line, ip16e with port-in from GV: Flagged/ Error at the checkout
- And tried to "New Customer": Error.... always
"The block was apparently at a shipping address and/or credit card."? The shipping address and the billing address are the same (I live at this address for almost 40 years). The CC is using everyday (Amz, Paypal..) Am I blocked/banned/flagged? Help! TIA.
I also ordered those unlocking sim chips (MKSD/ Well Sim) from aliexpress to test out. It might not work on the iphone, but might work on the stylus.
