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.

Wow, you damaged your Visible, now to Metro...
Read wiki, Metro will activate your phone on day 21, no matter your phone or SIM card is trashed , drowned, even sealed in the box...you don't need to put the SIM to activate your phone....it is automation process...
Maybe I'm being unclear. After successfully using my G Stylus 5G 2023 on Visible for 10 days. I then ordered another as a backup. Then I got kicked off Visible. Visible saying my G Stylus 5G 2023 is not "compatible". Which is BS. Now I'm just trying to recover my monies expended. I know & stated the facts you repeated. I have other questions (posted above).​

If nobody else reported the same error during the same time frame, then it's not a problem with Metro porting system being down. Try another browser. I'm not making excuses for them, just suggesting something for you to try.

I can confirm s23fe , it is not the case.
Only few cases for postpaid military T-Mobile account or some workaround to make the phone work with T-Mobile SIM..
My s23fe due to unlock in early may works on Tmobile postpaid. Its my daily driver right now. Wouldn't have even considered trying the sim after putting it in a drawer for 180 days but saw posts indicating others had luck. Guess it's a ymmv thing. Oh and not military.

I ran into this problem when I was trying to port in a really old Freeup mobile number. I actually called Freeup and they verified the account/pin were correct, and asked me to resubmit. My metro transaction then finally went through (still taking a long time but luckily before the timeout). I have a feeling that some of these providers are using manual approvals.

From the wiki:

If you're porting from Google Voice and having issues then the direct line to Metro's porting department is 800-518-7519

As mentioned earlier, call 800-518-7519 for the for the porting department. By now, they're aware of the issue, as I have done it twice within 10–20 minutes max.

Just make sure you call from a different phone number (not the one you ported to Metro) as customer service asks you to shut down and restart the phone while they're manually porting in the background.

Just got a shipping notification for a second iPhone 12. I ordered this one as a "second line" and only paid $30 for the month of service, making this $170.99 + $135.99 total.

For those trying to do a second order to get the lower monthly service fee, you have to login to your original account on Metro's website and follow the prompt in your account to open a new line. If you visit the phone listing directly, then you'll get a message that you are unable to buy another phone.

Not really. I tried around 5:30am at the McDonald's restaurant when I drank coffee there. I used my phone 5G data, not the WiFi from McDonald's. A month ago it worked for me at the same time and at the same place too. I think I was lucky that's all. Both successful times I used my phone 5G data with Microsoft Edge browser at around 5:30am at McDonald's restaurant.
