Now they've done it...
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...
scroll down to Port your Google Voice number out to another carrier

https://support.google.com/voice/...5667?hl=en

Account is GV Number no dashes and need Setup Voicemail PIN is Port PIN if not setup that yet

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.

https://voice.google.com/u/0/settings#voicemail
Your account number is your google voice phone number. The pin is the one you set up in Google voice to check voice messages.

I got the iphone 12 by porting in a GV number. Did the activation online and it went smoothly. Got the email from Metro saying activation is successful. However, I cannot send or receive text messages. I can make calls but not texts. Has anyone had the same issue? TIA.

Read the thread, last few pages. Your port won't complete for 7-10 days. Don't delete your gv number. Just wait and be patient . Everyone has this issue.

Before dealing with the check this number just hit the new number button, if the "add to cart" button does not come alive (purple) it's out of stock. If it is available, then you can switch to bring your number. iPhone 12 in stock at time of this writing, for example.

I did the free-ish 11 deal at Metro in store about a year ago, oh boy, am I glad you can do this online now, even if I have to wait a few days. Spent at least 2h there to transfer the numbers from boost back then. I don't think they will ever seem me again in a Metro store. Second line is cheaper, so 2 phones for about $300-sh is a great deal I think. I expect these will trade in nicely for an iPhone 16 as well at a later time, though you could grab one then when you need it from the used sites.

Have they changed anything recently. I bought a Moto G Stylus 5G back in Sept 2023. It was activated on Sept 6, 2023 so it's been more than 180 days. I only paid for 1 month service.

I am trying to unlock it today and I am getting this error message:
Unable to connect to server at this time. Please try again later.

When I click continue, it says I haven't met the requirements for unlock. It needs 180 days from the day of activation.

Am I doing something wrong. Thanks.

I just unlocked a Metro 6a yesterday. It unlocked, but would not read any other SIM until I did a full factory reset.

Dealing with Metro is a course in problem solving.

Did you try these steps posted in the August thread?

Link: https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=169643331&postcount=2138

Ok, think I figured it out.
In Settings, search for "Unlock". Select the app Unlock (pink icon) near the bottom. Storage & Cache -> Clear storage -> back -> Open ( to launch app).
This created the permanent unlock option for me. Had to click this option a few times but eventually unlocked.
9/5 activation on Android 13 Jan updates. metro sim installed

Got my iPhone 11 yesterday -- activated it to finish Tracfone VZ number port

Set up the phone and logged into my Metro online account (updated my profile/address/did email verification) -- let it sit for few hrs then did a device swap online over to my Moto G

Wanted to order another iP11 but price went up so skipped it -- ended up ordering the $20 tablet

Reset the iPhone then went through basic setup without logging in and skipped the passcode (wanted to make it easy to access the Settings menu) -- traded it in without issue at the Apple Store for $170 Apple GC

The nice thing about all iPhones is that there is zero Metro bloatware.
I'm still waiting to see if an S23 FE comes back in stock. It's the best Android phone Metro sells. Feels like a near flagship and supports Dex which is very nice.
You can't unlock bootloader on Android phones (Samsung no go) anymore to install custom ROM.

Instead, you can flash it with the stock Samsung build to remove all the metro bloatware. If you're very familiar with flashing parts, head over to the Samfw.com website and look under XAA for stock rom. Only do it after it is unlocked because you need the metro build to unlock the phone after 180 days.

Thanks. It worked. The phone is unlocked now.

One small update to steps. I had to force close the unlock app before clearing storage and opening it again.

Steps I followed:
1) In Settings, search for "Unlock". Select the app Unlock (pink icon) near the bottom.
2) Force close the app
3) Clear storage/cache
4) Open the app
5) Now the option for permanent unlock should show up
6) Had to click permanent unlock 3 times before it actually worked and asked for a restart to apply the unlock.
