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.

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.
They act like they can, then you pay and they follow up a few days latter claiming they can't and there's no refunds, it's in the fine print..... but here's a voucher credit for an unlock in the future.



METRO phones can NOT be unlocked with these online sites. I tried it on a Google Pixel 6a deal from last year.

Quote from Starrx05 :
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.
Bro...all the galaxies have drain issues. There are bugs with some apps. For example Samsung's gallery app can cause the CPU to hang until killed. I tested this a few times in my S23U, when I noticed it was draining quickly. Another time I had to force stop some Samsung system app for the CPU to drop from peak frequency, at idle.

I noticed One UI 6 really hurt the standby and active time of the S23 series, and other users have echoed as such. I bought my phone in November or December, and it doesn't last as long as it used to. I only charge to 85%, so don't say it's wear already lol.

Now, my Moto G Stylus 5G 22 is going strong. Lasts forever despite me getting it in 2022. Even my OLD HP 11a and Samsung 4+ Chromebooks last close to what they did when I first obtained them. Samsung is messing up their updates somehow. My next phone will be a Moto Edge 2024 or OnePlus, depending on their designs.

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.

Thanks for the insight. I guess I've risked enough with 3 on one account to have my street address blacklisted.

So how many Metro will let you buy?

I bought the razr because I needed eSim for travel.
- My other phone is S21FE - I like it - good size etc but no eSim. I like its fold able. Goes into your (pant's) pocket like a wallet and it will be secure!
- Wondering if I should get S23 FE - it has eSIM, cheap at $49 and Android updates for a while!

Which one(s) should I keep?

I guess $49 + plan + tax will come to that. Still lower than razr!

Does razr provide android update like Samsung flagship phones?

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).
I can not find it in this thread, can you post again, please?

I have an existing Consumer Cellular that I use as a back up number. I hate CC so I want to port out my number in the next two weeks to a new carrier. I want to keep my monthly cost under $20 though (currently CC is $24 after fees but I've effectively had it for $5 due to stacking some credit card offers).
Anyway, I don't actually need a new phone, but I like the option of reselling the phone once it is unlocked or upgrading my current back up iPhone 7+ before the battery completely dies.
After the recent price hike, is this deal still worth it for a first time customer, or should I wait for a better deal to return? Thanks
