Quote from fido14dido: Ok, think I figured it out.
In Settings, search for "Unlock". Select the app Unlock (pink icon) near the bottom. Storage & Cache -> Clear storage -> back -> Open ( to launch app).
This created the permanent unlock option for me. Had to click this option a few times but eventually unlocked.
9/5 activation on Android 13 Jan updates. metro sim installed

__________________________
Thanks to everyone who provided suggestions. Reset, force stop, cache clear, nothing worked, with the permanent unlock option not showing up.

What coincidently worked was opening the unlock option with airplane mode on ( and wifi off as well) it the showed the error message sating cannot connect but also showed all of the various options including the permanent unlock option. Which i then clicked after turning on wifi

Is the 180 days counted starting on first service date or order date? I was reading 2 different stories. Mine isn't unlocking yet based on order date.

need a spare phone.
will port in to get best price w $40 plan.
considering buying either:

--Moto g stylus 2023 (i had one that didnt unlock)

--n30 (never had one)

--razr (this would be a stretch and the most expensive...would prefer either the first 2)

anyone want to chime in on their thoughts?

kinda leaning to get the n30, as i never had 1.
and the moto stylus was nice, but nothing extraordinary
(maybe the n30 is the same)

a distant 3rd is the razr. not sure what more the razr offers other than being able to fold

I'm debating between a moto g stylus 2023 and nord n30 as well. AFAIK, moto has 6gb ram, physical sim + esim, and nord has 8gb ram and dual physical sim, other specs are similar or not important to me. I will likely pick moto as esim is important to travel abroad these days.

got the phone back in October and it just unlocked exactly 180 after activation.

So now is there anything else I should do, or am I good to go?

noted.
didnt know about the esim difference.
is it even active on the moto , once UL, for all carriers?

as of now esim makes no difference, (may in long run).
n30: like the quick charging and more memory

n30 & MGS = $40 OTD
razr=$150 OTD

i may go w razr as my main phone.

currently plan to use s23fe, but trying to sell that fe,
as the fe is not playing nice with my online bridge game
(in fact the a15 also was having issues with the bridge game

i hope the issue (just started recently) is isolated to Samsung devices.

i dont have issues with iphone 13 & the game)

or get a 1+ 12R with proceeds from s23fe sale.
but that is a long shot.
1st order of business is getting a buyer for the fe

really annoyed as was hoping to settle on the fe as a DD device

I was looking at the nord n30 as well because of the dual physical sim but according to this post it doesn't have dual sim? https://www.reddit.com/r/MetroPCS..._dual_sim/

I heard that too. I did have the unlocked version from Best Buy and it was dual physical Sim. The 2nd slot was a choice of SD card OR 2nd sim card. I personally used it for Tmobile in 1st slot and Tracfone or Visible in 2nd slot

Hmm, I got a text on 10/11/2023 from Metro, so it was activated that day. Today is the 183rd day. Even if you don't count the 11 itself and today, that's still 181 days. It's still locked...

The unlock app said I can only T-Mobile SIM instead of Metro, so I popped my current T-Mo SIM in there and it works! But status still says locked. I have version 3.0.0 carrier configuration. I popped the deactivated Metro SIM back in, now the unlock app says I can only use Metro SIM. Popping the T-Mo SIM in, it is still working. Calling it works, calling out works. So I guess T-Mo SIM DOES work afterall.

*edit* I just noticed that the reason for it being locked is empty now. So I hit the "Try permanent unlock" and it unlocked.

I have an unlocked Metro Nord N30. It does not have dual physical SIM. I like the Metro N30 because its IMEI on the whitelists of all major US carriers and MVNOs, even Visible. Most Metro Moto phones are not on the whitelists of AT&T and Verizon/Visible.

I can't answer your question about the Nord but am using Verizon on 3 Moto g's (2020, 2022 and 2023). I never checked the whitelist.... just put in sim once unlocked. All booted without a problem and still working well. HTH
