Ok your account number is just your GV phone number and your pin is your "call to listen" pin that you set up in the settings of GV. You first have to pay $3 to unlock the GV number.

Porting and failed attempts to order the phone. FYI if you go through the last step and Metro reserved the number you are porting in. But you failed, their payment screen and your order did not go through. Be advised that that number(s) that you attempted to port (no atter how many different phone numbers) are locked in Metro Port Reservation. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THAT NUMBER to process new order using that same # until you call Metro and ask to be transferred over to the porting department and ask them to delete the port. You will also not be able to port it anywhere else until they delete the port reservation. So, all you folks that tried to process a zillion orders after your initial order failed it will never work (even if you fix why your payment didn't go through) until YOU CALL METRO to fix your PORT. With all that said the port dept will want to verify you and the easiest way is for them to send you a SMS to your metro phone so your you don't have a Metro phone working well welcome to the struggle bus have a seat and relax your gong to be on the phone with Metro for some time. Please know this address multiple attempts at porting the same phone number not all the other reasons orders fail on the payment screen. All I can say on that one is , Don't use VPN, don't use discover, don't use a virtual number, wait 48 not 24 hours for your last order attempt to clear out of their system and if you are a religious person…pray

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

Since google voice and visible won't work anymore, what's the cheapest way to port in for metro nowadays?

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).

Can you help to analyze and solve my issue of orders?- 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.
Never ordering the phone with online or calling CS not more than 4th times. After that you have to meet the most very very nice CS in the world and also port out line CS want to give you extra help.

I haven't updated it because I don't want to kill the RSIM, just in case. I did just order this one, though, so next week I can try it and see, if it's already updated. If not, I'll try it in the locked one since it'll only be a few days after it unlocks anyways.
Which rsim are you using? There's so many variant.

Looks like they are tracking IP address, else, how can they still ban you when you tried to use different cards and different addresses?
Not likely IP, Most likely the metro account is what they flagged in my case. Tried ordering on the actual phones with no wifi/5G data, chrome, firefox, even edge, vpn icognito. nope to all. The odds were not in my favor.

What does metro account mean exactly? There is no metro account for a first time order. In my case even one order didn't go through. Tried all different variations but nothing worked. For the 1st order, you initially don't have an account with Metro.
Clearly they are blocking some other way.

Do I need to call in to cancel or just not pay next month's bill?

I was going throgh the same thing as you. I have spent least 5 hours to get an wonderful agent willing to give me the help I need and because of his attitude, other line agent helped to port out the phone #. I was on the phone for about hour with both agents. This much efforts the agent need to spend.

I think the block might be at the account/number level. The Stylus came with a number, no porting required. The iPhone did require porting, used GVoice. The phone tech could not add the watch or tablet, so it might be beyond them. Tried on both accounts and all gave the same error. I am guessing it was the Razr I purchased in November that counted towards the limit or put me in a "don't sell to this broke guy no more 😂". Either way I got to replace my aging iPhone xs 🫡.
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.
What is the limit of phones (per year?) you can purchase from Metro before they flag you?

to Fix a Stuck Port-In, so you can use it again on the other...
Thanks for responding, but if the order didn't go thru, then there is nothing porting in or stuck, no? Because when I was trying to order again 24 hours later, it said your number eligible to port in.
The issue is their system said for security reason, I have to call in.
I called, the CSR also said my number is eligible to port in, but when she helped me to place an order, it also didn't go thru. Told me to visit store. Mad

If you received a $100 coupon from Google towards purchasing Pixel 10a, it may be better to get the Pixel from Google Store. You could also get a free Pixel Bud 2a or a $100 Google Store credit.
