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....

But might have to fight for that...

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."
anyone try adding the iphone 12 to cart with 60 plan? it shows 594 total even with the plan and a port in bring your own number. why is there no discount even with port in?
* 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.
