yea people dont realize the FE series is a powerful phone, way better than the A5x series samsung phones. An dthe trade in value for the FE phone stays strong even 2-3 years later.
for $140 HELL OF A DEAL

you don't need 180 days service, only pay it for the order, 180 days later after activation, you will be able to get unlocked...

I actually like all the moto phones I've had, but the updates or lack thereof keeps me away

When we order the phone, do they have auto pay enabled?
I tried to activate the phone but on the activation page, it mentioned the phone has already been activated without me pop the sim in the phone.
Can I give the unopened phone to anyone with exisiting metro service?
But I don't want to Auto-charged ever since.

anyone have any luck finding these in-store in the past day or two or are they very likely sold out everywhere?
I checked a couple of stores in the North Dallas Area on Saturday. One said they don't have it in stock and another store said they don't and probably they won't at least for some days.

Anyone knows if the phone will be unlocked after six months if you don't open the phone, but just activate it on the website? Tia.

Ok, thanks. I plan to visit a few Metro authorized retailers in my area to see if they have some in stock. I was lucky to find the A54 was at one of them back in May.
I went with this deal instead:

I've purchased 4 of them so far 😁

I took advantage of this A54 deal from back in May and my device unlocked automatically on its own either yesterday or today. You def need to make sure your phone has been activated by the carrier and make a few calls afterwards for only the first month and let the next month's bill lapse so the service terminates on its own then leave the sim card in the phone for the next 6 months. I just used my phone to take pics and for the WiFi while waiting for it to unlock. The 6-months mark for me should've been Nov 12th though, but now it's unlocked 🙄🤷🏽 ♂. However, if it doesn't unlock on its own, follow these instructions [metrobyt-mobile.com].

On the other hand, wondering if a locked Metro phone (S23 FE) could be used with another Metro SIM card?

Only once the phones IMEI is removed from previous account. Which happens once line is cancelled second bill due date hits which is on 60th day after activation if you don't pay.

Would this Jeopardize the whole 6 month unlock process?

So we have to wait 2 months to use this phone with our primary Metropcs sim card/phone number? Can we just call metro and ask them to transfer the IMEI to our orginal phone number?

Can call Support to cancel the line early or use the Metro App/Website and switch the device to different IMEI so can free it up.

I used to have service w/ MetroPCS when it used to be called that back in 2015-2017 and I can confirm that you can use not only another Metro SIM card on the phone since it's locked to their network, but you can also use a T-Mobile SIM card since T-Mobile owns Metro.

Nope, you cannot use T-Mobile SIM on Metro phones mostly, only few years ago, there were a glitch for software initial settings from Metro, three Metro phones ( one of each Samsung, Moto and OnePlus) were able to use T-Mobile SIM card, but later on for new manufactured with updated initial settings that blocks the loophole
