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.

yes and no,
the phone's voice function would be shutdown immediately when the balance is due. but data would still work for another week, after that your account will be in suspended mode...
What happens if you port out before the due date?
Does the account get cancelled or closed?
What would happen to your second or third lines if they still have say 25 days left on the original purchased $40 plan? If any one knows for sure would be good for everyone to know since it could mess up an originally good deal IYKWIM!!!

If there's another deal for a competing carrier, it would be no problem to port out then before the first month is over?

Why you want to port out and take the risk and uncertainty?

1- 2/17/24 Ordered moto stylus and created my 1st and only Account.
2- 3/5/24 Ordered iPhone11 0+40, activated upon receiving.
3- 3/6/24 Ordered iPhone11 0+40, activated online (after reading comments here to test it), then opened after receiving to check calling status.
4- 3/8/24 Ordered iPhone12 (as 11 is now 50) 99+tax+40( total 146.99)activated without opening and on the way to be delivered on 11th.

And I can still see add a line option. I can log into account using all 3 numbers.

As info for order # 3 & 4 I used my deleted GV number which were failed during ordering process(again after reading comments here).
I deleted those out of frustration thinking those numbers are gone after seeing error and then subsequent this number is not eligible message
So you can use your deleted GV#.

Though I paid full 40 monthly charge, it prorated and asking to make bill payment by 3/18, which I won't anyway.

And still no incoming calls on my both 11s but outgoing is ok. Not worried as these are my experiments and already gifted to my friends . will see how these unlocks in month of sept.
And yes metro site is very unpredictable at first if not reading all the comments here.

Bottom line read comments and read comments.
Question re: activation without opening the box - no way to login to Metro account to add another line or tablet (assuming boxed phone is only one on account) b/c no way to receive OTP via SMS, right?

Total by Verizon has an offer for free A15 when you port number. Wondering if it's done as soon as you port.

Lol, you need to choose a $50+ plan to get a junk phone from Total by Verizon

Yes I know but the phone will be for a family member. If they bought it in Canada it would cost $300. Still a good deal for them.

no, it has to be activated when received. I have it and like it better than the Moto Stylus. Much longer support with Samsung too.
I ordered another Samsung A15 from QVC yesterday for my senior friend. This QVC deal is $85. with using the $15. off code NEW2024 for new customers (I've ordered previous items), but I used a different email and it gave me the discount. It comes with the 1500 talk, text, data, case, cig lighter power cord, standard power cord and the plug of which my A15 from Total did not come with the plug. I like the 60 day unlock on Verizon vs the 6 month wait on Metro. Solid phone regardless of carrier.
