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.

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.

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.
Go to the store to do your deal then come back and let us know if your scalp remained intact. Big Grin

I bought from Metro before.
CSR can not access my a/c without me able to receive text message - catch 22!
I had the same problem. They require you to go to a store to do a SIM swap and pay $25. complete ripoff.

I had it fixed without paying a dime.

Went to the store:
He called in for dealer access.
My ID was verified
He went into my a/c
Configured my phone.
Downloaded eSim.
Done! Paid nothing.

He said activate it online - so there is no fee. I activated by following Metro email, entering order ID, name and zip.

I wish this was a scalp... Jokes aside, I'm in need of a new phone. That being said, I've spoken to both a customer service rep over the phone and went in-store. In-store, I've been told that the activation fee cannot be avoided in-store. Taxes and activation would bring everything around 150. Will update if I go through with this deal.

You might get lucky and have a decent local Metro store. But overall, dealing with salespeople at Metro stores is an unpleasant experience, mine included. I went to my local Metro stores about 2 years ago to inquire on a deal, and their salespeople were acting like a bunch of sleazy, hungry car salespeople with bait-and-switch tactics. I got out of there in a hurry.

This post describes my friend's experience when he went to a local Metro store in AZ to buy his S23FE. He did pay under $150 for it, but it was not a good experience.

Thanks for responding. When you say you were stopped does it let you go to checkout and then fail or doesn't it not even let you add a line and device?
I'm able to add a line and another iPhone 12 for $99. Then reaches the port info section. I thought I'll check around before I spend $3 on another port nunber.

With each of my two accounts, it let me Add-A-Line, went through checking and reserving the port-in number, entered cc, then failed after submitting, got the dreaded Contact Us to complete your order. I tried 8-9 times over 4 days, using different browsers, Incognito Mode, even tried from my phones using Data (in case they block my WiFi IP) but no luck. I think they blacklisted my street address.

Bro...all the galaxies have drain issues. There are bugs with some apps. For example Samsung's gallery app can cause the CPU to hang until killed. I tested this a few times in my S23U, when I noticed it was draining quickly. Another time I had to force stop some Samsung system app for the CPU to drop from peak frequency, at idle.

I noticed One UI 6 really hurt the standby and active time of the S23 series, and other users have echoed as such. I bought my phone in November or December, and it doesn't last as long as it used to. I only charge to 85%, so don't say it's wear already lol.

Now, my Moto G Stylus 5G 22 is going strong. Lasts forever despite me getting it in 2022. Even my OLD HP 11a and Samsung 4+ Chromebooks last close to what they did when I first obtained them. Samsung is messing up their updates somehow. My next phone will be a Moto Edge 2024 or OnePlus, depending on their designs.

Thanks for the insight. I guess I've risked enough with 3 on one account to have my street address blacklisted.

So how many Metro will let you buy?

I bought the razr because I needed eSim for travel.
- My other phone is S21FE - I like it - good size etc but no eSim. I like its fold able. Goes into your (pant's) pocket like a wallet and it will be secure!
- Wondering if I should get S23 FE - it has eSIM, cheap at $49 and Android updates for a while!

Which one(s) should I keep?
