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...

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 got my Moto - no sim - no eSim to scan!
Its activated as per their email but no service.
I ported a #. What to do? My call went to S Africa!
there is nothing to scan.....SIM is in white matt or brown paper envelope , you may already discarded to the trash...
but no worry, your phone will be activated on day 21 of shipping , and will be eligible to get unlocked after 180 days of activation regardless!

Many people had adamantly claimed that their Metro phones didn't come with a SIM, only to sheepishly post later that they found it in the trash.

Thanks for the photo - no
I bought from Metro before.
CSR can not access my a/c without me able to receive text message - catch 22!

I did
The whole thing is black. Nothing white other than the manual stuff.
I also opened the box with the USB cable - nope.

Does it have anything to do with porting of the #?

It has nothing to do with porting in a number. For this round, I ordered one iPhone12 and two iphone11's with required port-in. Previously, I ordered 4 Android phones from May '23 to Jan '24 without required port-in. All of my Metro phones came with their SIMs in the opaque white envelopes.

They now have the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE for $49.99 when you port in a number. It's only available in-store. So you'd get the phone+month of service for about $150 out the door.

Call ahead to make sure they have it in stock or able to get it.

It looks like battery drainagge commonly happens to the Samsung A54 and still continues for some people even after updating.

https://eu.community.samsung.com/...-p/7300841

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyA5...ery_drain/

I made mistake opening this as 2nd line with the Moto which line is now suspended due to non-paying making the whole account suspended. Not sure if they will let me exchange. I'm going to try some of the tips to see if they improves the battery.

Yes. According to a store, they do a mandatory $28 activation fee. It'll total to about 150. It still isn't a bad deal for the phone and 1 month ($60 plan, $65 for first month) of service.
