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.

Quote from GulllyBoY :
I asked many eBay folks. They can't.
A Metro phone is unlocked when Metro adds its IMEI to a database of Unlocked Phones (Metro's or Apple's). There's an outfit called directunlocks.com that claims they can add a phone's IMEI to those databases using their status as a phone recycler, but that's an abuse of their priviledge. I think someone inquired and was told it costs $15 to check and see if they can unlock your phone, then another $80 to get it unlocked. I don't remember the exact costs, but they weren't cheap.

Here's my report if it'll help anyone.
- Ordered it earlier this month on a Monday. I received it 2 days later on Wednesday.
- It activated automatically 21 days later after the shipping date. (As the OP said... I somehow missed seeing that). I received an email stating it.
- I had issues with getting phone calls (like others here). Also couldn't receive texts. My phone is an iphone.
- I called the porting number per OPs instructions. Got a nice person but they were not able to help me. Even though they escalated it (without me asking). Mentioned it had something to do with landline portability. They even made me update the OS even though I was unsure I wanted the latest OS on it, yet. Rep said it would resolve in 2 hours. It did not.
- I left the matter alone for the day. Thinking I'll call back again if it's still not resolved the next day. The next day it was resolved.

Quote from jefferyh :
If you login and check your account, you'll notice there's only one due date for the entire account. So yes, if you don't pay that amount by the due date, all lines will probably be suspended at the same time.

I ordered more than one device under this deal but my total amount due for the next month is less that the sum of individual lines' monthly charges. I assume they're applying credits from charging the first month in full toward the second month.
Thank you for the info. Never had prepaid w/ Metro so I didn't know that. Luckily, I was able to complete the port-in on the 2nd line before payment was due on the first.

Done with it, and now time to just wait for them to unlock.

Ported in 3 lines for 1 iphone 11, 2x iphone 12. In the past 2 days, ported all the numbers out of MetroPCS (The Google Voice number was quite good), and port it to my tmobile's line to replace existing number. Took less than a few hours, and all lines are closed now, and MetroPCS account closed.

I have a dumb question. Can I put this metro sim card to my kid's phone (unlocked)? Will that raise a redflag? My kid doesn't want to have two phones. His phone uses an esim right now,and I want to use this one as the secondary number with unlimited data.

Looks like it's out of stock now for online orders. Likely will be back.

How often should I check in? To get a tablet through metro you need to go in stores?

Nobody knows for sure when Metro will restock a certain device. Sometimes it's back the next day, sometimes (like the S23FE) much longer or never again. The tablet is out of stock for online orders too.

Doesn't matter

You just need to register other phone's IMEI on the line for the sim to work in another phone -- online account has option for "switch device" when you click on line details (enter other phone's IMEI and select option to keep using existing sim)

There is certainly a way to bypass sim lock. It is called qpe unlock. It requires a original carrier esim and a card sticker on the sim you want to use. I treat "rsim" as a brand name. They should have adapted to this new tech.
