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!
Unlock eligibility requirements
  • The device must be purchased from Metro by T-Mobile.
  • The device must not be reported as lost, stolen or blocked.
  • One hundred eighty (180) days must have passed since the device's activation date.
Metro confirmed multiple times that the deciding factor of your phones unlock date is whether it was activated before May 1st (180) or after may 1st (365), interesting to see how it plays out because people in here have the terms stating that its 180 days until unlock after may 1st.

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....

Also, Metro By T-mobile also has the T Life benefit, which means you can redeem 1 year of MLB.TV for free if your line is still active on 3/26/2024.

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.

I ordered a Moto G Stylus with the $40 plan. Is there a way to use the sim card on another device (swap) without having to open the Moto G Stylus box?

Metro has to send 6 digit verification code to phone in order to do anything.

Also you have to properly activate the phone in order to unlock 6 months later.

Why does Metro have a 6 month unlocking policy?
I don't know what's up with Metro. But.. Mint Mobile and Ultra Mobile are no longer subject to a 12-month unlocking period. Once you pay off your device, it'll be unlocked after 60 days, meaning that it's easier to switch to a different carrier. Ask T-Mobile,they own Mint Mobile and Metro..

You are a very very very Greedy person, so you want it free on day 1? Just call the customer service, so that they charge you $300 for a phone only to satisfy your need of unlocking your device immediately. Get Out Here...

I have only been able to order two of these iPhones, one per account. I would have preferred one account and add a line, but I didn't know what I was doing.

Now when I try to add a line by checking out and purchasing a second iPhone 12, using one of the two iPhone 12s I have, it makes no difference whether I use an AMEX, Chase, Wells Fargo, Privacy.com card, they are all rejected. I have tried using Safari, Chrome on the devices themselves, connected to the cellular networks. The ports are from Google Voice and valid, and the payment methods are valid and seem like they're immediately reversed. Appears I'm getting blacklisted?

I hate this company lol.

Are you using the same address? Perhaps they are enforcing the limit that way.

"Limit 2 smartphone instant rebates per household."

Quote from hpham_53 :
* 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.

Wow wasn't my experience at all, when i got my s23 fe, back around Thanksgiving 🤔, I bought in store though.🤷🏻 ♂️

If the number you're porting in is on T-mo directly or indirectly, you won't get the discount price.

When I purchased my metro iPhone 11s last year (4 for $180), I was able to get 4 at the same store without issue. Two per account.
Why are you not buying through that store now?
