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...

Once you activate you phone Metro will send you six digit code to login into your online account. Every time you want to login metro will send you code (pain but extra layer of security)
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.
Metro is not unlocking phones manually but using some sort of algorithm (manually by human is too much). So once it is active on the network, that 180-clock clock will start on their system, and it will get unlocked (unless you throw away that metro sim). I got all the information from someone who posted earlier on this same thread and many other metro threads.

Just activate the device on Metro. After that, keep the SIM on the phone and connect to the WiFi network when it is time to unlock. It should work since SIM is not more activated, so it is not looking for metro towers overseas, but the wifi connection connects to the server for an unlock request.
