5/5/2020: Now...$100 : only after instant redemption rebate ($200) and paying 6 months of service (after 6 mts , u will get $100 virtual prepaid card).
Note:
>>Only color available is black. Stock may vary by store.
>>Store may insist on selling plans >$30, i.e. the $60 plan or a $40 plan, and $6 monthly charge for insurance. They may add on a "free" pet tracker for tax (on $100), open up a phone line for $15 activation plus taxes and $10 monthly charge. Some have reported taking these charges off voids the $100 virtual prepaid card promotion despite the store representative saying otherwise. Speaking to the promotion reps from (800) 999-6389 and they only mention being on the $40 line is sufficient.
*********************************
Don't know about the rest of you but the $100 rebate does not come back to you automatically. You need to apply at https://promo.metrobyt-mobile.com/. I took me some looking around to find this URL. Metro didn't tell me and the retailer I bought my phone at said to watch out for a text message from Metro that never came.

"When an item is purchased on sale, is sales tax due on the original price or the reduced price of the item?
If the item is on sale at a reduced price, or with a store coupon issued by the seller, sales tax is charged on the reduced price.
If the reduced price is the result of a manufacturer's reimbursement, such as a manufacturer's coupon or rebate or any other third-party's reimbursement, then the sales tax is charged on the full price of the item without regard to the reimbursement to the seller."
From: https://tax.custhelp.co
But rules differ for each state:
"With any rule, there are certainly exceptions. For example, Texas treats "store" and "manufacturer" coupons in the same way. Following is an excerpt from Texas Rule 3.301:
"When coupons or certificates are accepted by retailers as a part of the selling price of any taxable item, the value of the coupon or certificate is excludable from the tax as a cash discount, regardless of whether the retailer is reimbursed for the amount represented by the coupon or certificate." "

IMO, if you get a deal on it it's worth it. I wouldn't pay more than this deal for it. So depending on your situation get this or the Walmart/Target or Visible deal when/if you can.

Total was $263 = $200 phone + $15 activation + $30 plan + taxes
Will get $100 at end of 6 months.
Corporate store was a breeze, manager mentioned all the messed up term s & conditions were clarified. No upsell, they just asked if I wanted insurance, cases, etc and I said no.
I am on a Google Voice port, and that took some time. Rep had to call Tmobile port peeps and do a lot of talking about the number and that it was a Google Voice number.
As of an hour later, phone can make voice calls only, no text, no sms, no incoming calls.
They told me it would take several days for the port to complete, and the google port status says the same:
Status: Unlocked (Approved [1])
1. Warning: Google Voice has successfully approved your request, but the carrier to whom you are porting hasn't completed their necessary action. If you are still having issues and your number doesn't successfully port in 2-3 business days, please contact your new carrier for support, as Google Voice is unable to take any additional action.
"Also available, our $30 plan with 2GB of high-speed data per line"

I was porting from Tello, which no one in Metro has heard of ... ever, it seems. That took a little bit of extra time, but it went through.
