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.

Purchased for $145.99 at checkout. I already had a line with Metro from the Motorola Stylus deal 2 weeks ago and I qualified for the $40/month plan instead of $65. Question- if I don't activate the phone, would it still get unlocked after 180 days?

It is not your decision to activate it or not. If you don't activate the phone, Metro will activate for you on days 21. Your phone will be eligible to be unlocked after day 21 + 180 days = 201 days!

Of course not. Port-in means you port a number from another carrier to Metro. Metro to Metro is not a Port-in.

Chances are, not even from T-Mobile as Metro is owned by T-Mobile.
Not even mint to metro

No one knows. Just open the box. The phone is not worth much, open box or not.

Metro has been unlocking phones after 6 months, even with only 1 month of service. But they might change it and require 6 months of service. We'll see in September.

Anyone else having problem logon to Metro-By-T-Mobile website?

I received the phone and activated it 2 days ago. I was able to make phone calls and textings, so seemed like all is well.
Now I am trying logon to my account for the very first time, using my phone # and PIN (8 digits I created when I was ordering the phone).
But keeps on getting this error message:

"Sorry, the information provided does not match our records. Please try again."

I think my PIN is correct, and then tried a few more times, still couldn't get in.

So I clicked "Forgot account PIN" then getting another error message:
"Something went wrong while serving your request"

Is there a problem with Metro website at the moment?

Does anyone know how much time it takes for the activate button to be clickable online? My phone has been shipped since 3 days, however the activate button is still greyed out.

Hi. I am trying to order a phone from different google accounts, so that I can port out the GV number.
However, Google requires me to link each account to an actual phone line for verification. is there a way for me to remove my phone from the first google account and use it with the second one? Right now I get an error, even though the phone number is unlinked from the first google account.
Just pay $20 and don't worry about this mess

Has your phone been delivered yet? If no, why the hurry to activate it? If yes, go to Metro site-->scroll down to the bottom-->click on Activate (under the Support heading)-->enter your Order Number, last name, zip code to bring up the order-->Click on the ACTIVATE button.

Tried that, but the button is greyed out. I'll just wait for it to be delivered.
