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 want to transfer my Metro account/number to a different phone before I trade in the 13. Just realized none of my old phones have esim! BUT the Pixel 10a that arrives today DOES have esim.
I've never used esim or two phone lines on one phone before. It looks like the 10a has a physical sim and esim. Any reason I shouldn't put my physical Red Pocket sim card in the new 10a AND also activate a metro by t-mobile esim? Will it cause any problems for my main phone line (the RP sim)?
I wasn't able to do it online. I got all the way to the payment and it said I had to call. The rep said it had to do with the address on my card having those last 4 digits. He asked if I could change that in my bank settings but I just used another card, no problem.
This frees up my main phone to record video and this can be used as an intermediary to my drone.

Since you haven't used a phone with two lines on it before, here are some tips:
. Both the pSIM and the eSIM will be active at the same time and can receive calls. Assign different ringtones to each SIM so it's easier to tell which line is ringing.
. Use the SIM Manager function in Settings to designate which SIM is the default for outgoing calls. You can change this anytime.
. Designate the line with more/unlimited Data as the default SIM for Data usage.
On my Samsung S24, I have a Tracfone (Verizon) pSIM and a Stand-Up (T-mo) eSIM. It's convenient to have two lines on one phone.

However, I purchased an MKSD RSIM and that allowed me to use a non-metro sim. Not sure if I can mention other sites but you can do a google search and it will tell you where these are available.

So is there any issue with Metro in terms of transferring the Metro eSIM to another phone? That does not violate any rules that will prevent the Metro phone from unlocking in a year? It would make it easier to use up the data I got for my month with Metro.

Deleting the esim off my phone in a month won't cause any hiccups with my regular service/psim, right?.
