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.
Metro confirmed multiple times that the deciding factor of your phones unlock date is whether it was activated before May 1st (180) or after may 1st (365), interesting to see how it plays out because people in here have the terms stating that its 180 days until unlock after may 1st.

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.

A Moto G Stylus 5G 2023 keeps restarting, when turned on but the screen is off. It keeps turning off and back on. Safe mode didn't help. Doing a warranty claim with Motorola, free shipping both ways.
If they send warranty replacement with new IMEI it will be locked to metro with no way to unlock it unless pay for another month of service and 180 day unlock restarts.

I ordered a phone Sept 5 it did not unlock after 180 days I filed FCC went back and forth .
Today I received this email
Good morning XXXX,



My name is Karen, and I'm from T-Mobile's executive response team, Team CEO. I was reaching out regarding an complaint that we received in reference to your account. We definitely regret the inconvenience that this has caused for you and appreciate the opportunity to address everything with you.



I wanted to reach out regarding your recent communication with the FCC. I apologize for any confusion surrounding the mobile device unlock eligibility. Our handsets will systematically unlock once the eligibility is met, which will include 180 days of on network usage. At this time, I will be responding to the FCC with that information.



Should you need assistance for any other issues please Metro contact customer care at 888-863-8768 or 611 from your Metro by T-Mobile handset.





Thank you,



Karen DiMenna

True, but I'm assuming if Motorola is sending a replacement that it would be unlocked. Although I'll have to wait and see.

These are Carrier phones they send relocked carrier phone as replacement with new IMEI if they can't fix the issue. They only send unlocked ones if you sent factory unlocked one to them.

It also could be user error which is often the case here. We don't know what phone and how they went about the unlock process.

I tried using your service it did not work for me in my area. I would like my phone unlocked so I can use it on a different service. Your website says it will be unlocked 180 days after activation.

The device must be purchased from Metro by T-Mobile.
Thank You

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.
As your letter states my phone was activated on September 5th. Well over 180 days. Link to policy below.

Interesting. It's broken so useless right now. I would try to work it out with Motorola, worst is it will be a working wifi phone, instead of an unlocked broken phone.
Not interested I dealing with a store, especially with an expired account so no ability to get the 6 digit code.

They would have to update their unlocking policy page first and specify the date from which this new policy starts. When someone buys a phone from them, this unlocking policy is essentially part of the purchase agreement. They can't just change it after the transaction took place.

My Metro Moto G Stylus 5G 2023 (what a mouthful) has the Device Unlock function in Settings-->About phone. What happens if you put the original Metro SIM in the phone (doesn't have to be active), connect the phone to Wifi, and select the Device Unlock function?
