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...

Also, SMS isn't working outgoing or incoming apart from those codes from 611.
I can login to my metro account using my GV ported number, and everything looks good under my account (standalone line, cost per month, etc.).
Nobody is going to use that number beyond this deal, so I am not worried. Anyway, after 30 days, service will be suspended, and the GV number is gone for good. Anything I doing wrong
General sms (outgoing or incoming) not working. I can make calls to other mobile numbers but others can't call me (busy line tone)
I can make calls from the number but incoming calls and SMS (both way not working) means some provisioning isn't done properly on metro network.
It doesn't mean we have not activated or ported number fully on metro from GV.
use their store locator https://www.metrobyt-mobile.com/stores/locator
all are "AUTHORIZED RETAILER
"
Thanks!
Do I have to worried about fully functioning GV number on metro? All I care about unlocking after 180 days if I have ported and activated on their network? right

One thing is for sure: it is ported and activated on the mobile network (it should be unlocked when it comes).
