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...

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.

I got this email as well. Seems like some generic email sent after x days. Mines are all activated already.

i got several worked fine. it's a bit annoying waiting 6 months. and be advised an unlocked carrier phone, often is less versatile than a true unlocked non carrier branded phone. but that gets extremely complex.
it seems like the deals are getting worse tho, they noticed people abusing them.
the n30 is still a good deal imo, even though it's rocking the exact same sd695 chipset of it's older predecessor the n20. i'm not a fan of the moto stylus personally. i got that one for $15 already unlocked off a boost mobile deal a couple years ago iirc. didnt love it screen is dim lcd.
the n30 is lcd where the n20 was oled, big downgrade, but with lcd i have to see it in person theres a lot of quality variation, such as the stylus poor screen imo, whereas in my experience samsung always provides good lcd's. my guess is the n30 has a good lcd. it also has an upgrade from 6 to 8gb ram and has a 120hz panel iirc. which i was surprised how much the choppy 60 hz panel on the n20 bothered me.
so yeah for me i'd focus on the n30. since phone deals are few and far between nowdays i might pick one up. 40 is a good price sweet spot for a mid range, since i often get flagships for the 200 range (just got a 8/128 12r for 194 including tax with trading in one of these very metro phones from the past) it's not worth a lot more.
but yeah i got the samsung a13 and the n20 from previous deals. i traded the a13 for 220 tiv with one plus. still have the n20 as my backup phone in a drawer. although right before i switched to my 12r, calls had mysteriously stopped working (everything else was ok afaik). not sure if it was a conflict with my carrier visible dropping bands, or a temporary issue.

edit: after about a 20 minute wait, she was able to get the 'backend' support to talk to Google and release my GV number to finalize the port-in. I guess best approach for GV porters is to keep trying if denied

Also, its interesting to note that my phone number is still linked to google voice. Any incoming calls I receive go to GV and not to my iphone. Yet all text messages go to my iphone and I can make outgoing calls.
Yeah, but if your wanting an iphone and not an android, this Iphone 12 deal is the best you can get anywhere. I had mine for 2 days and it does wireless charging and appears to be similar to the 15 with worse specs. I dont use phones for gaming, so its not really noticeable to me. I also got the galaxy A54 deal this past summer and mine is currently unlocked as my main phone. The S23fe was more money 6 months ago, so in a way I am glad I missed out on that deal back then. The A54 has a SD card slot, which is an advantage if you swap music and videos between devices. Overall the A54 is a great phone. I also just got the Iphone 12 and in 6 months I can make a decision which phone I would like to use myself or give it away to another family member.

I am seeing it is accepting number and giving $99 deal for iphone 12.
Only issue I see is account number and PIN.
Anyone has idea on it ?
Metro is letting me to order phone ,does not matter what account number ,PIN I use so is it necessory to activate number after receiving the metro phone ? If I dont activate then phone wont unlock after 6 months ?
