Got one from Metro was unlocked out of box last year
Samsung did allow multiple trade-in phones towards one purchase, though not often.
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

Weight 1 lb
It was light as a feather. Didn't look tampered with. I did have my wife record me open the package thankfully. But to get to the point of even showing that will probably be a nightmare.

Mine weighed 1 pound too but the phone was inside.

Check the weight in the Shipment Details if you can see it. If it shows around 1lb, then the phone was stolen enroute. If it's significantly less than 1lb, then the warehouse didn't put a phone in the package.
I feel they may easily mess this 6a package with BYOD package. After I did activation, a text message came in with a link for .pdf which was protected by 8 digits account PIN. I input account PIN then opened the .pdf file, it was a 2-page file, with my name, address, the new Metro phone number, IMEI# and ICCID#. But the IMEI and ICCID in this .pdf file don't match 6a IMEI and Metro SIM respectively. It seems like they randomly put an IMEI there? like Boost put random IMEI for BYOD account?

Speedtests came up with 250-400Mbs downloads.
The screen is dull and not just compared to the overly bright and saturated Samsungs... looks really dull compared to a Pixel 3.
The camera is also much slower than the Pixel 3's and doesn't take as good photos... any ideas?
