Metro has improved the iPhone SE promotion. Up to today it used to be

Pay $199 and after 6 month on auto pay get a $100 rebate.

Now it is $149 and after 6 month of auto pay get $100 rebate.

Paying $49 for the devise.


In my area activation fee is $22
Plans start from $40
After 6 month the device can be unlocked.

Metro by T-mobile has T-mobile towers and 5G


In my humble opinion it's is great deal.

Yeah, I made the mistake of entering my zipcode and was met with over 50 stores in my county.
Of course I had to click on each store to see if it was really clickbait and I'm still not done, but if you guys claim clickbait it must be so.

I have been to metro store and said they did have the deal and applies for Non T-mobile customers upon switching. Unfortunately, I'm on T-M network at present. Activation fee $22, tax on phone costs $19 and plans start from $50. You have to be on $50 plan or higher at least for a month and after one can downgrade.

Great price for an iphone (net cost with rebate after 6 month of services). Thanks for sharing. Don't be discouraged by others who can't see beyond their nose.

Currently some corporate stores asking upfront $149 (to get $100 after 3 month).

Some Questions.

a) This phone will get unlocked after 6months from date of activation? I plan to use it until I receive cashcard (or may be 1st month only foregoing cashcard). Will that work?

b) I guess the cashback is one per account? If I port-in 4 lines and purchase 4 SEs under my account as 4 lines, do you know if I will get cashback rebate for just 1st line or all 4 lines?

Much thanks to Smart_Consumer for posting this deal. I don't understand the clickbait/negative comments. Just walked out of my local Metro store with a $50 iPhone SE which my old carrier (ATT Wireless) is offering for $400.

This is a good deal. Their rates include taxes so my bill is $40 for a unlimited voice unlimited text +10 gb data(no hotspot). Also get unlimited pandora streaming for when I pretend like I can run. Hotspot is $10 more. When I bought the phone it was advertised as $99 assuming you stay with the service for 6 months to get a $100 virtual visa. I am 5 months in.

metro is VERY hit or miss depending on who owns the store and whether an employee actually wants to help you. I went in for a free phone deal a while back. I sat down and waited as instructed while two reps were helping someone else. More people showed up and one of the reps started helping them. Rep told me they would be with me shortly. 20-25 minutes pass, I'm still sitting there like an idiot as they converse in Spanish with other customers that walked in after me and start helping them. I am still the only one sitting down in the entire store waiting.

I get up finally after about 30 minutes and politely ask one of the reps if she was going to help me or should I leave, because they seem busy with other customers, even though I have been waiting here longer than anyone else. She sighs loudly (OH I'M SO SORRY I HAD TO MAKE YOU DO YOUR JOB), then shows me the plan sheet and asks what phone I want (not really paying attention at all to the phone I stated). Tells me I MUST take the $60 plan and activation fee. Free phone ended up being something like over $100+, just to activate. I said there is nothing in the terms saying I must take the $60 plan and wanted the $30 one. Refused to sell the phone otherwise to me, other employee gives the side eye (???) unless I signed up with the most expensive $60 plan (I had a feeling she could tell she was lying to me to get me to leave). Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)


I said screw it and left. They clearly did not want to do business with me, but they clearly will cater to a certain clientele and ignore anyone else. This is why metro deals never make any kind of frontpage on SD or are ignored; they pick and choose who they want to serve, which honestly should be illegal.

Obviously this isn't everyone's scenario, because they're franchise stores and the experience varies wildly, but metro stores are on my shit list for life. metro is always huge YMMV for any deal.
