Samsung Galaxy S23 FE from Metro By T-Mobile is $99 plus $40 one month service with 180 days unlocking policy.
it is very limited in the stock now, if you see the "Add to cart" greyed out, it means it is temporally out out of stock, but it is not dead yet, when you refresh the screen or check after midnight, it may be available to order, I just ordered at 2:01AM CST, even it shows all day greyed out the "Add to cart" button.
It is not dead or expired , you need be patient for hot deal. many people may never able to order from Metro for the ID verification issue.

it is 8gb ram with 128gb storage version.
it is new released phone on October 26,2023. it shares most character and hardware with its big brother Samsung Galaxy S23 Untra

yea people dont realize the FE series is a powerful phone, way better than the A5x series samsung phones. An dthe trade in value for the FE phone stays strong even 2-3 years later.
for $140 HELL OF A DEAL
you don't need 180 days service, only pay it for the order, 180 days later after activation, you will be able to get unlocked...
I actually like all the moto phones I've had, but the updates or lack thereof keeps me away

180 days today for me. Doesnt unlock for me today so crossing my fingers the 2 business days works automatically.

Generic response of not having 6mo of service is my worst nightmare in this case. I only had that 1 month.
It actually unlocked for me today on day 182. So try waiting a few more days.

Reps are 100% wrong since terms just say 180 days since activation date (One hundred eighty (180) days must have passed since the device's activation date.)

keep us updated when it unlocks

Is the activation date and order date the same?

Also has anyone figured out you could flash USA non bloat firmware into the S23 FE using patched Odin after unlocking? If so please share the firmware link. I did this for s23 from ATT thread and it's great, no ATT bloat

my activation date is also 11/3. 3AM is long gone for me already guess i dont have that luck. Did you activate your phone at 3AM? According to my activation email my time is 3:28PM, wonder if i have to wait till then...2 more hours to go.

Or i guess i can see what happens after the 2 extra days. What unlock app is this? Metro? Too bad i forgot what my pin number is to get into my account.

Was around 4 pm when activated looks like unlock server is using PST timezone for unlocks so 3 am ET was midnight PT

you can try clearing the unlock app data so it resync under all apps search unlock app

After 180 days just go under your settings and request an unlock. Try the next couple days if it doesn't go through.
is this in their app or android settings? don't see where that option is

its actual app when try unlock the device in settings it launches it and should be shown as recently opened apps. Once you unlock the phone it disables the app itself

https://www.sammobile.com/ has posted April firmware release a few days ago, will be flashing it in a few days once my phone (hopefully Smilie ) unlocks.
