In for one! Thanks OP. Weirdly, I had no problem getting a Google Voice number to be eligible for the port-in, $40 plan + free phone. I actually checked two different GV numbers (one GV-generated and one used to be landline) and they were both eligible. No idea why others are having trouble.

I can confirm a Tello number is NOT eligible (it's a T-Mobile MVNO so unsurprising) and instead was quoted the "existing customer deal" of $60 plan + $50 phone.

But for $40 this is an excellent deal on a midrange phone, for sub-budget pricing. The only spec I really dislike is the measly 128 GB of storage, which is hardly adequate these days. It sounds like a lot, but when the OS takes 15-30 GB, photos/videos another 30-40 GB, Apps another 60 GB, you start to run out quickly. I hate how tons of apps these days seem to require 0.5-1 GB of storage. I still think phone companies and Scamsung getting rid of MicroSD on nearly all their phones is a moneygrab to upsell storage and squeeze consumers.

Based on my experience and comments in this thread, best chance for success is to follow these steps:

1) Make sure your GV number is linked to a physical number, and verify it.

2) Unlock your GV number for port out on the website/app. You will have to pay $3

3) In GV voicemail settings, make sure "call to listen" is selected and then set a voicemail pin.

4) for Metro eligiblity checker, use the ten digit GV number as your account number.

Use your GV PIN as your transfer/port-out PIN.

Use the billing zip code on your GV/Google Account (like the one you used to pay the $3, or where you live) as your Zip Code.

Good luck.

Samsung phones from Metro are not worth unlocking. Many bands are missing. Check out the A37 bands and compare to any moto phones from Metro.

Is there a way to get a cheap port in number? Google Voice numbers don't work.
Might be some on eBay?
