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.

"The Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) comes with a 6.7-inch 1080x2400 pOLED display with 120 Hz refresh rate, 240 Hz touch sampling rate, and 1,200-nit peak brightness. It's powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset, paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of expandable storage

You also get dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support and even a 3.5 mm headphone jack, as well as a 5,000 mAh battery with support for 30W wired and 15W wireless charging."

If the carrier models have 8gb this will be the perfect budget phone for me.

I went on chat and asked when my device gets unlocked and they asked for imei and said 180 days and gave a date when it will unlock. I took a screenshot of the chat. Not sure if that helps at all for anyone. I bought last week and activated Monday.

Someone on reddit said all phones after May 1 have the 365 days unlock policy. From May 1-6, they will require a "manual" unlock. Seems like CS isn't consistent.

one plus nord is worth it if you dont care about the camera as much as a spare phone 8gb is good.

pixel samsung or iphone for camera specs no questions.
but they are heavily over priced.

So just get the cheaper phones and install an outdated gcam

Thanks very much for that! I think I bought my Stylus 5G in March and am waiting for it to unlock. The one I bought in late November just unlocked this past Saturday, so hopefully the March buy will unlock in 6 months as well.

Maybe the 365 day unlock policy has not been implemented yet, but the notice is being posted because things are about to change very soon? 180 days from now the 365 day policy could go into effect for all phones. This would take care of all of the complaints to metro from people who purchased their phones when the 180 day notice was posted.

I bought two of the S23 FE Samsungs (11/06/23 and the other on 11/07/23). They unlocked 181 days after I submitted the request from phone around 05/04/24 and 05/05/24.

Your phones were unlocked under the old 180 day policy. The new unlock policy was posted on May 7 or 8th. So we'll see more data points soon in the coming months.

I am porting in a google voice number, still not changing price with the $40 plan
I chatted with customer service and they confirmed that even with port-in, you have to get at least the $65 plan in order to get the phone for free, despite it stating that the credit applies with any plan $40+. I was able to confirm this by playing around with all the different plans. Bummer

Which phone were you trying to buy? Some phones (iPhone11, iPhone12, Moto Razr, etc) require the $65 plan to get the discounted price. Some phones require only the $40 plan. I bought a Moto G Stylus 2023 on 4/13/24 for $0 + $40 Plan and a port-in number. See attached screenshots.

I've been trying to purchase the same phone as you (Moto G Stylus 2023). It rings me up with the full price of the phone ($309.99). Screenshot attached

Which provider currently has the phone number that you want to use for port-in? Any phone number on T-mo directly or indirectly does not get the discounted price.

I've been using a Google Voice number, which registers as "BANDWIDTH.COM/1 Mobility".​
