Phone unlocks after 365 days


Starting February 29, 2024, Metro by T-Mobile introduces the online "Bring your number" (port-in) option. People no longer needs to go to the store to get scammed for keeping their phone numbers to enjoy the deep discount. You can choose a $40 plan in most cases (even though it may say a $60 plan ($65 with autopay) is required). If you buy a phone with a new number, you need to choose the $60 plan. The free phone check-out price is $65 for the OnePlus N30, Moto Stylus 5G 2023, etc.
Metro $60 per month plan that is $65 per month ($60 with auto pay), your first month is $65 (tax included). the checkout is $65

The promotion price and availability changing daily basics , especially for the hot items such as iPhone 11, iPhone 12.

$115 ($49.99 + $65 plan) with port-in for iPhone 11
https://www.metrobyt-mobile.com/c...-iphone-11


There are three purchase options.
  1. "Bring your number" (port-in): You can choose $40 plan or $60 plan, many free phones, the checkout price is $40 or $65. iPhone needs $60 plan to get discount. For iPhone , you need chose $60 plan to be able to have discount price!
  2. New number , you can only choose $60 plan ($65 with autopay) , many free phones, the checkout price is $65
  3. Existing user can add one line for $40 plan , the total checkout price would be $40 , for free phone
Many other phone "Bring your number" option to get $200 or more discount!

You can activate the phone before or after receiving it. If you don't activate the phone, the system will automatically activate it on day 21 after it is shipped. You should receive an email from "T-Mobile US" with the subject "Your phone is now active" to give you details about your phone, phone number, etc.

If you're porting from Google Voice and having issues then the direct line to Metro's porting department is 800-518-7519

Metro by T-Mobile 180 days unlocking policy! [metrobyt-mobile.com]
180 days after activation, your phone will be eligible to unlock! you don't need keep the service for 180 days, once your phone got activated one time, after 180 days, your phone is eligible to unlock!
Unlock eligibility requirements
  • The device must be purchased from Metro by T-Mobile.
  • The device must not be reported as lost, stolen or blocked.
  • One hundred eighty (180) days must have passed since the device's activation date.

Any other information about unlocking is fake or scam!
Do not waste your money to get third party unlocking service ! it won't work.

The MOTO Stylus 5G 2023 has *6* GB RAM, not 4gb, per the Metro website. And assuming its the same phone that shipped last time, it has eSIM support as well....

Also, Metro By T-mobile also has the T Life benefit, which means you can redeem 1 year of MLB.TV for free if your line is still active on 3/26/2024.

Now they've done it...
New wording for Metro unlock policy:

https://www.metrobyt-mobile.com/t...ock-policy

"Unlock eligibility requirements
We unlock mobile devices that meet the following eligibility criteria free of charge:

The device must be purchased from Metro by T-Mobile.
The device must not be reported as lost, stolen or blocked.
Three hundred sixty-five (365) days must have passed since the device's activation date."

Should obviously only apply to purchases made after they changed the rules.
But might have to fight for that...
scroll down to Port your Google Voice number out to another carrier

https://support.google.com/voice/...5667?hl=en

Account is GV Number no dashes and need Setup Voicemail PIN is Port PIN if not setup that yet

to setup the voicemail pin have go to settings and enable Call to listen Check and manage your voicemails by calling your Google Voice number.

https://voice.google.com/u/0/settings#voicemail
Your account number is your google voice phone number. The pin is the one you set up in Google voice to check voice messages.

Quote from aubrechon :
I've read that some who've ported their number back out before the 30 days of service had problems with the device unlocking. Perhaps OP cgigate could ring in here. They seem to suggest to get a pin for porting which you can do on the website then port out from days 31-40. I plan on porting 2 numbers back to GV because they are too good to let go.(Sequential prefix and repeating digits for last 4)

Does anyone know if the port out pin ever expires? I am just to get the pin while the phone still active & save it in case for future port out.

Ah, that tablet (Samsung A7 lite) is not slow at all.

My posters (including me) gave information on how to make it faster (I know it won't become Apple iPad speed).

Good to hear that you got the 3rd phone.

For me, my 1st phone is Razr, after that ordered the Samsung A7L tablet, after that is the iphone 12.

Now when I tried to order another iphone 12, at last step, asked me to go to store...

Did you try ordering using one of the purchased devices?
Not sure if it matters. 2-3 posts of people unable to order were able to after someone suggested it.
I didn't want to risk it since my 2nd order had gotten messed up with porting due to other reasons. So I just ordered it on the 2md phone using browser and the metro data itself.

Quote from ShannonF4392 :
No, it was a different error message, saying the account info was incorrect and to go back and fix it. Meanwhile Tracfone sent the text that the number was being transferred, at 6:55pm last night and 4:37am this morning. When I requested a new NTP at 8am to try again, Tracfone responds with: We do not have any record in our system with your information.

And this will just be my second phone ever from Metro.
Had similar issues with a tracfone number that was at the end of its year service so I figured I would transfer. I had all the corect account info and it let me get through even entering my cc payment info. Metro process goes through to last step then errors and I get a text from tracfone saying my number is being transferred to a new carrier. This happened 2x and Tracfone reinstated the number 2x. 3rd attempt gave same results, I don't care about the number so just giving up on this and letting it go away...

Thanks. Yes, sounds very similar. My call to the Tracfone portability department was painless, but she told me Metro submitted a 14 digit account number, instead of the full 15 digits, so she advised calling them to resubmit. She did not reinstate the line, but said it is still active on the "billing side" and it still appears to work, even though NTP and BALANCE both return no record in our system. The line expires in 4 days, so like you, I think I might just let it go and take it as a sign that I don't need to purchase another phone.

I'd jump on the Sammy A15 5g with port-in if it could be unlocked in less than 6 mo for a fair price from a reliable source. Possible?

I got this 3 months ago. It worked on the tmobile network right away. Just had to get a physical sim free from tmobile or pay at the store. I guess this samsung is already on the tmobile network. It will auto unlock in 6 months. Only paid for one month of metro service.

Got it. I am also collecting many phones, but once upon a time I had no idea about this trick and used one phone for a long time since spending $1000 on a phone was not appealing to me.

Now I own many due to Metro and got this one for form factor for $149, including everything (added line).

I thought limit was 2 per home.
