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.

And accessories, insurance & the $60 plan. It's not a good experience.

It looks like battery drainagge commonly happens to the Samsung A54 and still continues for some people even after updating.

https://eu.community.samsung.com/...-p/7300841

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyA5...ery_drain/

I made mistake opening this as 2nd line with the Moto which line is now suspended due to non-paying making the whole account suspended. Not sure if they will let me exchange. I'm going to try some of the tips to see if they improves the battery.

Yes. According to a store, they do a mandatory $28 activation fee. It'll total to about 150. It still isn't a bad deal for the phone and 1 month ($60 plan, $65 for first month) of service.

They now have the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE for $49.99 when you port in a number. It's only available in-store. So you'd get the phone+month of service for about $150 out the door.
Go to the store to do your deal then come back and let us know if your scalp remained intact. Big Grin

I had it fixed without paying a dime.

Went to the store:
He called in for dealer access.
My ID was verified
He went into my a/c
Configured my phone.
Downloaded eSim.
Done! Paid nothing.

He said activate it online - so there is no fee. I activated by following Metro email, entering order ID, name and zip.

I wish this was a scalp... Jokes aside, I'm in need of a new phone. That being said, I've spoken to both a customer service rep over the phone and went in-store. In-store, I've been told that the activation fee cannot be avoided in-store. Taxes and activation would bring everything around 150. Will update if I go through with this deal.

You might get lucky and have a decent local Metro store. But overall, dealing with salespeople at Metro stores is an unpleasant experience, mine included. I went to my local Metro stores about 2 years ago to inquire on a deal, and their salespeople were acting like a bunch of sleazy, hungry car salespeople with bait-and-switch tactics. I got out of there in a hurry.

This post describes my friend's experience when he went to a local Metro store in AZ to buy his S23FE. He did pay under $150 for it, but it was not a good experience.

Some forum members got more than 3 phones, but for this round Metro stopped me cold at 3 total (one i12 and two i11's) in two accounts.

Thanks for responding. When you say you were stopped does it let you go to checkout and then fail or doesn't it not even let you add a line and device?
I'm able to add a line and another iPhone 12 for $99. Then reaches the port info section. I thought I'll check around before I spend $3 on another port nunber.

With each of my two accounts, it let me Add-A-Line, went through checking and reserving the port-in number, entered cc, then failed after submitting, got the dreaded Contact Us to complete your order. I tried 8-9 times over 4 days, using different browsers, Incognito Mode, even tried from my phones using Data (in case they block my WiFi IP) but no luck. I think they blacklisted my street address.
