Do not waste your money to get third party unlocking service ! it won't work.
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....
Also, Metro By T-mobile also has the T Life benefit, which means you can redeem 1 year of MLB.TV for free if your line is still active on 3/26/2024.

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...

Now, let's start using it [if porting was not complete it won't say that and I won't receive OTP to access metro account]
Activation date: 03/06/24
Mobile device number: <GV ported out number>
Billing account number: <xxxxxx>
Monthly recurring charges: $40.00
How it will create problem apart from it won't do certain things e.g. sms or incoming calls won't work?
My goal is not use service after 30 days and wait for them to unlock after 180 days.
Also, keep in mind that many people port out their number within 30 days and have their phone unlocked after 180 days.
In my opinion, the email with the title "Your phone activated" should trigger a 180-day unlock.

I bought Stylus 5G 2023 and today is the 183th day since I got the "You did it! Your phone is active" email.
I tried the "Device Unlock" App.
Initially it says "
Unable to connect to the
server at this time. Please
try again later.
(SERVER COMMUNICATION
ERROR: ERROR CODE=502
MSG=SERVER_NOT_REAC
HABLE)
"
When I hit "CONTINUE". It says
"
You have not met the following requirements to fully unlock your device.
x Device must be used on this phone number for 180 days
"
The MetroPCS SIM is in the phone the whole 6 months. I have activated for 30 days. Used it to make phone calls. And then I let it expire.
Anyone in similar situation or have successfully unlocked Stylus 5G 2023 recently?

All I want is a number to be registered on the Metro network. It will never roll back, get unregistered, etc. After 30 days, the line will be suspended, and I am done anyway.
You will go through all the hassle to reclaim it if you care about that number.
If everything fails and the phone doesn't get unlocked after 180 days, I will sell it as a metro phone.
