I would like to know as well. Thanks.
2. Phones are locked to Metro ONLY for first 180 days and chances are slim to none that you can get them unlocked before 180 days to use on other carriers.
a. Some exceptions: A few phones will work on TM from Day 1 {keep reading below}
I'm curious, as the Wiki alludes to (which I copied/pasted above), has anyone bought one of these MetroPCS Pixel 6a phones and tried to use a T-Mobile SIM card in it, right out of the box? If so, did the T-Mobile SIM card work in it, right away?
If no one has tried this, yet, if someone buys this phone, and has active T-Mobile service, if you could test out your T-Mobile SIM card in this Pixel 6a and see if it works with T-Mobile, directly out of the box, a response would be very much appreciated.
Sounds good. That would be great, to get some direct feedback from someone, who can test it out, with a physical T-Mobile SIM card.

1. Put the unactivated TMO sim that was in the N200 box in the phone (assumed Metro used TMO sim since it was in the N200 box). No service.
2. Put the activated Metro SIM hidden in the shipping box in the phone. Metro service working
3. Sent a few txt and made a few calls
4. Put my activated TMO sim from my old phone in the N200. TMO service working.
5. Installed at least 3 OS updates
You can always attempt to flip/sell the phone for $.
