Go to facebook metropcs page. Talk to Customer Service so they will cancel insurance and any other add-on. They will not refund that amount but the amount will go towards your next bill.
Funny observation... You went to a more lower end store than Metro. Wonder what store/brand would that be? 🤔🙄😁

FWIW - I purchased the iPhone SE through another deal posted at SD. Battery life is terrible. I regret buying it.

If your prior phone had excellent battery life then this phone with its xxs battery will not even last half the day.

I've been telling people that this phone has horrible battery life. They keep telling me I get 6hrs of sot and all day battery life. I called b.s on that because my wife has the damn phone and it's bad, very bad.lol

Well, there is a plethora of things to do to the phone to save battery that shouldn't even be on in the first place, like automatic downloads. I know people get updates shoved down their throats on Windows 10, but phones don't have to be like that.

I've had luck with fb reps. They will do it in a heartbeat.
Also, get the rep name and store ID(it should be on metropcs's website). They can't do stuff like that.
They used to do that here in NYC but it stopped for the most part. Corporate stores will not do it(anymore) but retailer stores...Yeah they will charge you taxes for the full MSRP.
There is one retail store 5 min walking distance from me and they will try to push anything they can and hold your account hostage. So, I'd rather drive 25 mins to a corporate store and get a peace of mind with the guy who's always helping me with these metro deals.
Alright, got back the monthly service fee through the FB reps. I'm fine with that, since taxes go to the city anyway and I'd rather not see that miserable store ever again.

Yeah, 6 month service of $40 isn't great, though it's only beaten by the 2 month Visible plan, and everyone else is running 24 month plans. What plans are people going on for their phones after?

Yeah, it's kind of buried in 14 pages of forum talk. This stuff should be stickied.

So what's left? The CR tries to say I can't change my plan because of promotion terms that don't exist anywhere? How are people resolving it?
fantastic idea.
& i noticed u actually did it , rather than just complaining about it.
repped 4 effort.

would suggest:
1. add date fro reference
2, add smaller font for easy of reading and so others can udate the wiki as well w other relevant information

It's video time is 1 hour less than iPhone8 and uses a more power hungry chip so it's expected. Unfortunately, folks don't research before buying.

This is a new phone so there is not much user feedback is out yet. The mfg published battery life estimates (talk time etc) are overly optimistic.

Apple has removed any mention of wireless Talk time for SE. So its hard to compare.
For iPhone 8 it's listed as 14 hours.

There are reviews that state that iPhone SEs battery life is terrible even when using it for web surfing. For games it seems the battery drains at 1% per minute and half of play.

Will this deal work this way:

Port 4 numbers purchased from ebay. At the Metro store, prepay for 4 discounted iphones plus taxes, and prepay for one month of service and activation for each phone. Then let the Metro service expire after the one prepaid month due to non-payment. Put the phones in a drawer for 6 months, at which time they all will automatically unlock.
What do I search on eBay in order to purchase a port in number
