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....

scroll down to Port your Google Voice number out to another carrier

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.
IAttached is a screenshot of the old 180-day policy with 5/4/2024 date in the lower-right corner, in case someone needs it to fight Metro.
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".

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