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.

Just received my 03/05 order of iPhone 12. Ordered another one after activation. Was going to order a third one but it said I wasn't eligible. It turns out this promotion is limited to two per household. So wasted a $3 GV unlocking fee Smilie Wish I had read the fine print carefully. Could somebody update the wiki?

The plan charge for my second iPhone 12 order was only $30. That's less than $160 per device - not bad. Plan to trade them in for two iPhone 16/Pro in the fall.

Totally new to Metro (though I'm on TMO postpaid). Is using the phone number (the first one?) the only way to access my account? Since I'm going to let each line expire after the first month, does that I mean I will lose access to my account as I won't be able to receive the code?

Edit: never mind about the wiki part - the original post did quote the original terms including the limit. My bad.

Activated my second iPhone 12 today and now the "add a line" shows up again on my account. An additional line is still only a $30 add on.
How did you get $30 plan for adding a line? I'm getting $40 plan whenever I try to add a line for the iPhone.

Put the Metro SIM in the phone, no signal is fine, most of us didn't maintain service past the 1st month. You need to turn on WiFi so the phone can go to Metro's unlock database and gets its unlock status updated.
Thanks I got it to work after clearing cache for unlock app.

I got a second ip12 for a $30 plan. It just popped up saying I was eligible. If I tried the ip11, it made me do the $40 plan. 🤷

Once you receive the second phone you just ordered and activate it, you should be able to order the third shortly after.

has anyone ported from tracfone? each time i enter my account number, what i think my pin is, and my zip, tracfone generates and texts me a new port out pin. Is that happening to others?
No problem with Tracfone VZ number -- the port out pin is good for 7 days

I generated it just once then used it on Metro order without issue -- no problem finishing activation 2 days later once the phone arrived

e.g.

[1] my old number 111-111-1111 --> ported out for this deal to metro and phone activated [I can see that number on the phone and internet, outgoing call works

[2] I went ahead and delete 111-111-1111 from google account (only delete button available) assuming number is ported and now to get new one I have to delete this etc

[3] Now my google account has 222-222-2222

Are you suggesting delete "222-222-2222" from google account and reclaim the old number 111-111-1111....

When you say you can reclaim it....does that mean you paid another $3 to reclaim the old number?
If you delete 222-222-2222, you will not get a new GV number, but you can reclaim one of the two old numbers. The reason is Google only allows deleting & getting a new number once per year.

I have a question about the GV number. When you delete your current GV number and then gets a new one. Does Google require the real mobile number for verification with the new GV number?

Hey, I got my iphone 12 today. Haven't opened the box and haven't received an email yet. But I went to the Metro website to see what it would say in "track my order." It said I was ready to active, so I clicked the activate button and it got this:

I ordered my second ip12, I have never recieved any emails either. But when you go to the metro order status, everything looks good and UPS notified me that it has shipped. I guess maybe they are having email issues???

No, you don't need to call C.S. After you activated your service, you should get an email with the title "You did it. Your Phone is active".
