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.

i have two metro 12s that hopefully unlock in about 5 months. but i also went ahead and got two 11s from total since they will unlock in two months. 5 months from now i may sell or trade in the 11s and use 12s. only thing i'm concerned about is the battery life on the 12, but i do like that it will likely get OS updates for the next few years.
Battery life is much better on 13 and up. 15 is about the same as 14.

Shhhhh, you say anything they will bump it up to 2 years. They are going totally hard core.
According to the FCC pre-paid phones should be unlocked within a year from the activation, so Metro already pushed that window to the max.

Not really. They don't require active service to unlock, yet. Interesting that they are now required to unlock Mint/Ultra Mobile phones in 60 days but they changed Metro to 365 days.

Just as another data point I activated my S23FE on 11/9/23 and was able to unlock it today. I received error codes for the past few days and even this morning when I tried to unlock it and it randomly worked around noon today.

Mint counters that by bundling a year of service with all their good phone deals. 60 days unlock window might be a part of the deal they agreed to when sold to T-Mobile.

Wow, that's a stupid policy. Who buys a locked phone from a carrier at full price when you can just buy the unlocked version?

Full Price Devices

If you purchased a device at full price (i.e. without any discount(s), promotion(s), or credit(s) applied to the device and/or any service plan associated with the device), to the extent we may offer such full-price devices to Ultra Mobile customers (subject to change), and the device is locked, you are eligible to request device unlocking 60 days after activation

That's looks like their new policy since they have both the 60 days and 12 months unlock requirement separate. I thought it would be similar to Verizon/Tracfone 60 days policy.

Participating providers have agreed to unlock prepaid devices within one year of initial activation, consistent with reasonable time, payment or usage requirements.

Bought the s23fe today and on the place order screen it showed the total being $93 and some change. $49.99 plus $40 plan. After the order went through I get an email saying that I was now being charged a total of around $680. Somehow the $550 discount fell off and no one I've been able to talk to can figure it out. So now I have total charges on my credit card for over $680. Beyond frustrated right now.
