Ummm. You do realize that the phone works during the first months with calls, texts and data? Some people would be happy to use unlimited data in that first month. All those apps, games, camera, etc. work with or without service. Lot of people use multiple phones. I do. Lot of people have lots of wifi outside their home especially with some cable service they may use.
* I have a Pixel 6a and I do like it but it has its cons. The battery life isn't that good and the screen is little bit too small at 6.1" for my liking for browsing chrome/youtube so I prefer to use my other larger screen phones with the big battery at home or my Samsung tablet at home when browsing chrome or YouTube. For me to use my Pixel 6a for browsing chrome/YouTube is wasting battery on a phone that already doesn't have solid battery life and just not that good of experience on 6.1" screen vs my larger screen phones. Answer? Large screen phone with solid battery or tablet.
* 6 months goes by quicker than you think. People aren't like upgrading their phones after every 2 months and it is "so needed" to upgraded from their phone. Patience is a virtue especially for Slickdealers who know a good bang for the buck phone deal or knows money saving tips on deals.

read wiki
lots of good info
trust me
here is sample:
To have the phone unlock automatically in 180 days (6 months)
You need to have activated the phone 180 days ago.
You do not. repeat do NOT have to pay for service 180 days
the above has been true for most every metro deal in the past.
both apple and android
Most people get the 1 month service.
Then simply place phone in a drawer .
wait 6 months.
The sim can be left in phone or stored safely.
It does not matter, as long as you DO NOT THROW AWAY THE SIM until you get a confirmed unlock
Phone should/will unlock in ~180 days + 6 -10 days.
best chance of success as follows:
During the ~6 month wait.
YOU can use as wifi device.
keep sim in phone.
when getting near the 180 day , have phone connected to wi-fi.
Try to unlock the device, once 1-2 days from day 180 onwards.
- None of us knows when Metro is going to close this unofficial loophole, .
-However this has been in effect with Metro phone deals for last ~4-5 years
Exercise your own judgement,

Edit: u can make calls n text on both now. I had to factory reset the phones.
Correction, it can make calls now.

It has nothing to do with phone being locked
Xfinity Mobile is on Verizon. Its 1am and this is all vague recollection but I recall reading that Metro phones need to be whitelisted to work on Verizon. And I think there is a trick by checking IMEI on Verizon site. Somehow looking up the IMEI with Verizon adds it to the whitelist.
Edit: Just did a very quick search to make sure my 1am brain is recalling something factual. Here is a thread that talks about it although with different carriers - principle still same - Verizon based : https://www.reddit.com/r/Visible/...whitelist/ (just try to not generate an order like the OP did) - it might work with just a compatibility checker.
Edit: I just reread the post and I was totally replying to the wrong issue. I was assuming you were trying to use the phone on Xfinity Mobile, but I should know better to not ass-u-me. Anyway I now realize you are trying to trade in the Metro phone to get the $800 bill credits but it wont accept it . Curious if you ever figured it out.

When I connect with a USB-C to USB-C to laptop USB-C port, I get a USB for file transfer notification. If I use the USB-A to USB-C cable, I only see a charging notification and there is no option to change it. My new Subaru Forester only have two USB-A connectors.

Edit: I think you may be right. I was reading the policy online and it says prepaid fees are non-refundable so rep was probably just yessing me

leave in box. brand new. [consider not even open box]
wait 6m
sell as unlocked...for at least 200
imho:
never a good idea to return / cancel/ refuse delivery of any metro deals
