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.

I track via the UPS app directly. Shows it arrived at my local UPS Saturday and will deliver this afternoon. I ordered March 14.

How long does it take for the order to auto cancel and the ported number to be released? I no longer see an add line option under the main account.
4-6 hrs for Metro to release the number. 6-8 hrs for failed order to drop off.

Don't give up. I called today and was able to get it fixed. If an agent says any of these BS, just ask them to speak to a different agent. Also, if I were you, I'd ask for a refund on the plan cost since you haven't been able to use the service you paid for. If they deny, just open a report with BBB or FTC.
So Refundroid, did you get a refund? Maybe we should all wait till a couple of days before the bill due date, calling to request a refund (to save more on the device) or a bill credit (to extend the service for the second month). bounce

I called Metro Port Dept today and had much better luck this time. The agent initially said a GV number is a landline and could take 7-10 days. But I told her that other people on the Internet ported in from GV also and were able to get their port-ins completed sooner by their agents. She did some more checking and said "Oh, I see that those lines have a PENDING status. Let me work on getting the Pending removed". After about 5 minutes, she got the two lines in my Acct #1 ported in. I asked her to also fix the line in my Account #2 (in my wife's name) and she did that too. A real helpful agent and I gave her 10's in the feedback survey.

Hint: If you call the Port Dept, ask the agent to check and see if there's a PENDING status on your port-in line.

Nope. Another poster said as long as the phone is activated, the phone should be unlocked in 180 days. There is no need to logon to your account because by default, autopay is off. Metro won't be charging you next month.
I was able to get into my account today. Turns out I was using the wrong 8 digit PIN -- oops. A chat rep sent the correct one to my phone. She didn't know why I was getting an error message when I tried the reset link though.

Thanks for the info.

The number was released and the "add a line" option came back this morning. I tried opening a 3rd line with an iPhone 12 and got denied after the payment screen again.

I am aware of the "trick" people are talking about. But I'm curious if anyone who has gotten the "please contact us to complete your order" to successfully go through eventually. I'm wondering if there's an internal system block on the account.

I seem to have run into some sort of block on my street address. From 3/4/ to 3/8, I've ordered an i12 and an i11 in Account #1 (daughter's name) and an i11 in Acct #2 (wife's name). Didn't have any problems nor ID questions on those orders. But after that, all new Add-A-Line orders failed. I've tried different browsers on my PC, with and without incognito mode, tried ordering using Data on different phones on Metro and other carriers, different credit cards. None worked. I gave up.

Did you try to create a new (3rd) account? I've done 2 in my name and 2 in my wife's name. Also got a tablet line. The only time they asked security questions was the most recent one that I ordered under my wife's name.

No. WIth a new account, an iPhone11 would cost $50 + $5 tax + $65 line = $120. Not a very good price. With Add-A-Line, the monthy cost is ony $30 instead of $65.

Direct line to port department : 800-518-7519
Please use this number to complete your GV port.

I called this number, and the very helpful agent knew what I was talking about and assured me that everything would resolve right away.

She was indeed right, and porting was done in 15–20 minutes (start to finish the call). I was not planning to call, but judging from others results, the person to whom I am going to gift a Razr 2023 won't be happy if it isn't fully unlocked or if there are any other problems in the future, etc.
Now I am able to reclaim a new GV number for future porting if Metro allows GV numbers ( visible block GV number for porting).

This is probably mentioned before but for GV porting, zip code is the billing one used when you paid the $3 to unlock. The PIN can be set if you go into Settings > Voicemail > Call to listen and turn it on.
