The MOTO Stylus 5G 2023 has *6* GB RAM, not 4gb, per the Metro website. And assuming its the same phone that shipped last time, it has eSIM support as well....

New wording for Metro unlock policy:
https://www.metrobyt-mobile.com/t...ock-policy
"Unlock eligibility requirements
We unlock mobile devices that meet the following eligibility criteria free of charge:
The device must be purchased from Metro by T-Mobile.
The device must not be reported as lost, stolen or blocked.
Three hundred sixty-five (365) days must have passed since the device's activation date."
Should obviously only apply to purchases made after they changed the rules.
But might have to fight for that...

to setup the voicemail pin have go to settings and enable Call to listen Check and manage your voicemails by calling your Google Voice number.

Can I port them out later to different provider?
With my four Metro phones ordered last year: Ordered on Day 1, Label Created on Day 2, UPS picked it up on Day 2-3, Delivered on Day 4-5. With my i12 ordered on Monday March 4th, it's exceptional quick: Ordered on Day 1, Label Created on Day 1, UPS picked up on Day 1, to be Delivered on Day 3.
I wonder what the delay is. I used a google voice number to port and as of right now, it is not ported yet.
EDIT: It looks like there is a UPS label created this morning using the UPS app. Order status still shows not shipped on Metro.

Now I am in limbo hell....
This was for add a line. Support is not trained well and when I bring up the error with ordering they have no idea whats going on. I was also charged $40 for the plan
Had a TF VZ number from mid-Dec that expired mid-Jan -- my TF account had some free reward pts in it so I used 1500pts to reactivate the line (within 60 days of exp so no issue keeping number/sim)
Metro checkout page had some errors while trying to confirm port info but was able to get the order placed after a few mins -- had to use the checkout page's "back arrow button" (not the browser's) to go back and then continue forward to finish checkout
1st order in the past few yrs so new Metro customer (last order was in 2020 for a BYOD sim/plan) -- didn't ask any verification questions
Any thoughts , if I port out the number after 20-25 days, will it still be unlocked after 180 days ?
Thanks for help in advance
