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...

I don't care the phone number port in at all. Last time, it took two weeks got phone number ported in.
Boost mobile did something like that just a few months ago.
It's a long shot and we would be able to charge back, but I think it's worth thinking about.

I think the worst case scenario - if the number porting is not fully completed by the renewal date - is that the device will stay locked forever. Porting out a GV number takes long, but shouldn't take more than a week. The problem is definitely on Metro.

No worries at all.
No worries at all.
Boost Mobile did. Three months ago.
Again, let me say I really don't think Metro will do that. But the ports not going through by day 30 can potentially be an issue.
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?

Metro is different, Metro activates device, no matter you did or not!
