I am trying to get the iPhone 16e deal by porting number from Google Voice.

I set the GV pin and paid the $3 to unlock the number.

The Metro checkout system seems to go all the way through. It checks the number, says “Congratulations! Your number was reserved”, and excepts credit card.
The credit card is charged, but the money is immediately returned and the page says, “Please contact us to complete your order.”

I tried two different credit cards and addresses with same results.

I worked with customer service on the phone for an hour before I was disconnected with no luck.

If DJ or anyone else has suggestions, I’d certainly appreciate it.
