Phone unlocks after 365 days


Starting February 29, 2024, Metro by T-Mobile introduces the online "Bring your number" (port-in) option. People no longer needs to go to the store to get scammed for keeping their phone numbers to enjoy the deep discount. You can choose a $40 plan in most cases (even though it may say a $60 plan ($65 with autopay) is required). If you buy a phone with a new number, you need to choose the $60 plan. The free phone check-out price is $65 for the OnePlus N30, Moto Stylus 5G 2023, etc.
Metro $60 per month plan that is $65 per month ($60 with auto pay), your first month is $65 (tax included). the checkout is $65

The promotion price and availability changing daily basics , especially for the hot items such as iPhone 11, iPhone 12.

$115 ($49.99 + $65 plan) with port-in for iPhone 11
https://www.metrobyt-mobile.com/c...-iphone-11


There are three purchase options.
  1. "Bring your number" (port-in): You can choose $40 plan or $60 plan, many free phones, the checkout price is $40 or $65. iPhone needs $60 plan to get discount. For iPhone , you need chose $60 plan to be able to have discount price!
  2. New number , you can only choose $60 plan ($65 with autopay) , many free phones, the checkout price is $65
  3. Existing user can add one line for $40 plan , the total checkout price would be $40 , for free phone
Many other phone "Bring your number" option to get $200 or more discount!

You can activate the phone before or after receiving it. If you don't activate the phone, the system will automatically activate it on day 21 after it is shipped. You should receive an email from "T-Mobile US" with the subject "Your phone is now active" to give you details about your phone, phone number, etc.

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

Metro by T-Mobile 180 days unlocking policy! [metrobyt-mobile.com]
180 days after activation, your phone will be eligible to unlock! you don't need keep the service for 180 days, once your phone got activated one time, after 180 days, your phone is eligible to unlock!

Any other information about unlocking is fake or scam!
Do not waste your money to get third party unlocking service ! it won't work.

The MOTO Stylus 5G 2023 has *6* GB RAM, not 4gb, per the Metro website. And assuming its the same phone that shipped last time, it has eSIM support as well....

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 mkm85 :
I didn't give any birthday or SSN to Metro, but Metro asked me some questions for verifying identity. All the questions were not related to me, so I got all wrong answers.
The info that Metro (or the ID verification software) uses comes from a vast database of public and non-public data. If you ever owned a vehicle and bought insurance, your insurance companies have your DOB, driver license number, the type of vehicles you owned, past and present addresses, relatives who are/were on your auto policies and their personal info, etc. The insurance companies sold your information. If you own a house, your name, address, type of housing are in the county's Appraiser database which is public info. When you placed an order with Metro, you provided your name and shipping address. That's enough for them to match you with someone in their database. Granted, there could be a case of mistaken identity, but a lot of times those questions/answers are dead on.

Just for grins, do a Google search of your name and address and you'll be shocked by how much of your personal info is out there on the Internet.

When I opened an account somewhere online I was asked about one of the addresses I lived at in the past. I didn't recognize it at first, but it was a little scary to know so much is saved about us. The answer was a place I lived at as a kid.

Yes, it's scary how much of your info is out there. One time I was asked about an address which was an apartment that I rented over 40 yrs ago when I was in college. I had renter's insurance, so that insurance company probably sold my info. Also, if they have your SSN, they will know that you lived in that State/US Terriories at one time because the xxx-xx part of your SSN can be decoded to show when/where your SSN was issued. https://stevemorse.org/ssn/ssn.html

I have activated a new Visible number (Verizon) and have tried to purchase a Samsung Galaxy S23 FE, but every time I type the number and add the phone to the Cart, the price raises and no discount is applied. No issues when trying the iPhone SE though. What may be wrong? Am I trying too soon? I activated the line around ~1h ago.

Is the phone number a new one that Visible assigned to you, or a number that you had with a T-mo provider and tried to "wash" it by porting to Visible? Check the number using this link and see which carrier it shows https://www.carrierlookup.com/

You can keep checking the order status using the order number, your name, and zip code. SOMETIMES the ACTIVATE button is "clickable" before the phone is delivered. Sometimes it won't until the phone has been delivered. In either case, you can activate the SIM without having to open the box and install the SIM. However, I've read a post from someone who used to be a Metro dealer and he said Metro might not unlock the phone if it was never connected to Metro network to make some calls/texts. Plus, if the phone is not taken out of the box, it can't receive the security code that Metro sends to it whenever you want to log into your Metro account.

Hello! This is my first time doing this, so I thought I could ask here.
I'm expecting my new phone to arrive Monday. I was able to use a Google number as the new number to port. I already have phone service with Metro. My question is, since I just want to swap my old phone with the new one, do I need to activate the new phone with the Google number first? Or will I just be able to do a regular phone transfer using the My Metro app? Thanks! (I hope I explained it clearly.)

With Metro you can't just swap sims (you need to register the phone's IMEI to the line you want to use it on first) -- my guess would be you won't be able to use the same IMEI for 2 lines so you'll need to do 2x device swaps

- Activate new line using online order status page then wait until you have phone in hand

- Use online account or Metro app to switch device on new line to another phone's IMEI (in order to free up new phone IMEI from Metro)

- Use online account or Metro app to switch device on old line to your new phone's IMEI (so now old line's using the new phone)

- You can do another device swap if you want to use your old phone's IMEI for new line

This phone has not been available online for a long time. That may be the issue. I did enter a tracfone number and the price increased from $49.99 to $199.99, so it's not a problem with your line.
ETA - it may have been the S21, but neither are available.

Trying to order and ran into "unable to verify your payment address, call 8METRO8."...is this the unable to verify your identity that many people have run into or simply due to my account being tied at a p.o. box? has anybody else had this same problem and called and gotten it to work? or am I sol? and no I do not have any different cards to try. Yes, I did try calling it and it said, "thanks for calling...it's after hours." and hung up on me (assume I have to wait until business hours.)

Your problem is different from the ID verification process in which they ask about people you know, your past addresses, your vehicles, etc. Metro ships by UPS which doesn't deliver to a P.O. box. If your credit card billing address is a P.O. box, then they can't match your delivery address to your billing address. I have no ideas how they will resolve it.

Is the best way to take advantage of this deal to make a Google Voice number, get it unlocked, use that number to transfer phone number, then if the order goes through take off autopay and let it sit for 6 months until it unlocks? I currently use US Mobile and I don't really want to switch to Metro. Thank you.

* GV is one of the cheap ways to port-in a number. However, most likely you'll run into the same problem like the rest of us did. The GV number will be ported PARTIALLY to Metro, you phone will show the GV number and can make calls/texts; however, incoming calls/texts still go to GV. You can call Metro Port Dept (their number is in the Wiki) and ask them to complete the port, or wait up to 3-4 weeks for them to fimally complete it. I called them on all 3 of my GV number port-ins, the call was rather painless.
* Autopay is turned off by default.
