Similar to https://slickdeals.net/f/15631606-metro-in-store-port-in-w-60-plan-activation-apple-iphone-11-100?src=SiteSearchV2Algo1 but now price increased to $100, no more 3 months waiting for a $50 gift card and minimum plan seems to be $40/month instead of $60/month.

My iphone 11 activated on 4/22/2022 is still not unlocked as of today 10/29/22022. Unlock not guaranteed unless you have the 6 months of service. YMMV

___________


and before anyone ask....

to have phone unlock in 180 days (6 months)

u need to have activated the phone 180 days ago.

u do not. repeat do NOT have to pay for service for 180 days.

the above has been true for most every metro deal in the past.
it is extremely likely true for this deal as well

______________________________________________
also note...many times M reps will make up rules...

if it sounds odd...its probably made up

How long until phone is unlocked?

Turns out it's 6 months for the phone to be unlocked. I'll pass.
These deals are useless unless you have a corporate store nearby.
Metro is a dirtball company. They hire scammy people who are trained to try shady stuff all of the time. Even the corporate stores have become shady. Stay away from these scammers and give your money to a more reputable company rather than these POS losers.

Will Apple accept carrier locked phones for trade ins?

Yes as long as it's paid off, not iCloud locked/stolen and wasn't fixed with aftermarket parts or has broken things. Apple "genius" will connect and run their software that searches for any hardware problems, other than those three things I don't think other stuff matters, you also don't need to bring anything else besides the phone itself so can keep the box and charging cable.

They always have the 3 years old iPhone, black, 64gb for 'sale' like this.
I guess there are tons of such phones to dump.

Hope they have bigger phones like Pro/Max versions, as well as other color options.

This is worse deal than before because with previous deal you didn't really need to pay $60 for all 3 months. People reported that they downgraded after 1st month to the $30 plan and still got the $50 prepaid card after having paid 60+30+30 = $120 for 3 months.

Now you still end up paying 120 for 3 months but you don't get the $50 prepaid card.

I am very upset. I was about to take advantage of the previous deal. https://static.slickdealscdn.com/images/smilies/mad.gif
One could still pay $40+$30+$30 which would be $20 lesser but no $50 giftcard. One could also not pay for the 3 months and beyond which would make it a $20 lesser deal ($60 vs $40 first month).

I was interested in this phone but I kind of lost interest in it because it definitely has its cons and it was released in September 2019. There is still a lot of life in my Samsung. Maybe I will wait for the next Metro Apple phone deal which would be like an Apple iPhone 12 around the same price.

Damn, I don't want them to photocopy my ID. That sounds shady. I guess I'll have to pass on this deal. That's too bad.
this is the major problem w M deals.

each store "makes up " there own rulez

i wouldn't pass on the deal.

if nearest CS [or AD] is a reasonable distanced for you...go to store.
with intent of getting deal.
see what they require.
push back on nonsense requirements.

I guess I should be able to use the phone with T-Mobile and at some point later can ask T-Mobile to unlock it? Has anyone tried that?

I have a $15 T mobile (not metro) prepaid plan (my own phone)for a couple months to test reception in my area.

A couple days ago, I went to Metro intending to port a Boost # I've used awhile, for a phone deal, BTW he said Iphone 11 requires $60 not $40 plan WTF

Then he says the T mobile plan he found in the system (didn't mention since unrelated to Metro transaction & was BYOP) excludes me from any phone promotion or discount over $100 WTF!

This can't be right, I received no benefit, no phone, nada with $15 plan and yes, it was a corporate store in CA

I love this deal. This is good for anyone who can wait 6 months to unlock.

I took 2 phones (Samsung Galaxy A53) and 1 phone (Samsung Galaxy A13) in this deal. They said they can not give any more free phones. I will wait for 6 months and unlock them.

Not sure when can I visit the store to buy free phones again.

I believe they should accept locked metro phone.

Why would you trade in at Best Buy when Apple offers $320 Vs BB offer of $215
