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...

What's the next best phone after the Samsung s23 fe from metro? Is it that foldable razr?
Below are the GeekBench results that I ran on the phone I have/had. Performance wise, the Razr has higher scores than the other Metro phones. Value wise, the Moto G Stylus has the best cost-vs-performance ratio, since the Moto G Stylus is $0 + $40, while the Moto Razr is $99 + $65. The A54 has a good cost/performance ration too at $50 + $40 but it's no longer available. The Nord N30 is also a good phone for the price, but right now Metro site shows it's not available.

I hate how they got rid of Pixel 6a only to not replace it with anything at all
Shhhhh, you say anything they will bump it up to 2 years. They are going totally hard core.
That's not gonna happen, although I wouldn't put it past some companies to try to get around that, i.e. Verizon with the "60-day" unlock policy they instituted when they clearly agreed to never lock their phones as part of winning Auction 73. Despite that, this is on the FCC's website: "Prepaid Unlocking Policy. Carriers, upon request, will unlock mobile wireless devices no later than one year after initial activation, consistent with reasonable time, payment, or usage requirements."

Was hoping to finally get an Apple but dang still expensive, compared to Android.
Do the older iPhones listed still get updates?
11, 12, 3rd gen
If no, that's a show stopper .
Go over to the Total By Verizon thread and get an Iphone 11 fo $100. You can't lose, if you want to go back to android there'll be trade ins or you can sell it many places for cash for more than you paid. iPhone 11 is slated to get iOS 18 and will probably get another couple years of security updates past that. You won't find a more capable phone for twice as much.

I would opt for the 12 instead. At $65 more you have a 5G phone that does all the tricks and will serve you well for years. You could trade it in for gift card at Apple without loosing money or sell it without loss probably after you used it for a year and got it unlocked.

i have two metro 12s that hopefully unlock in about 5 months. but i also went ahead and got two 11s from total since they will unlock in two months. 5 months from now i may sell or trade in the 11s and use 12s. only thing i'm concerned about is the battery life on the 12, but i do like that it will likely get OS updates for the next few years.
