[METRO] Samsung Galaxy S23 FE (128GB) + 1mo Service - $50+40 = $90

$90.00
$639.99
-8 Deal Score
5,446 Views
These haven't been in stock online in months and months. I believe this to be a sign that they are about to receive the S24FE

$50 for the phone, minimum $40 service. Must transfer an eligible phone number. It may say $199 originally when checking your number, after you add the $40 plan it should update to the $50+40 price.

Metro unlock policy was recently increased to 12 months.

Do you choose "unlocked" when completing the trade-in online, or do you do the entire trade-in process in person?
You choose the carrier in the select, the "unlocked" is just the sku it doesn't actually need to be unlocked. When they get these phones they can unlock them for resale so they don't need to already be unlocked.

Exact same thing happened to me. They refused to cancel the order. I'm just going to refuse the delivery I guess.

I'm not really too worried about the number as it was a Google voice number.

Haha you're smarter than me.
I just got it to show the $93 checkout price after backing up and re-entering my details a few times. It said $93 on the final confirmation screen so I'm hopeful that they aren't going to scam me.

Have you confirmed the actual amount charged to your card?

Well, it looked like everything was gonna go normal but their port-in process failed, I guess there was some issue with them porting it in from Boost. I used my account # and my pin and after like 5 minutes it said they couldn't contact Cingular.
Looking at reddit, porting out from Boost is always a pain in the ass?

Our final cost at checkout was the correct price as well, even with refreshing. You won't know you paid $672.99 or whatever until your card is charged and it's too late. They told me they can't cancel it, and that'll have to return it via UPS.

Yo, I guess F metro then.
I was already looking at some of the $10 upgrade offers on boost, they have the moto stylus 2023 for $10 right now, motorolla just announced the stylus 2024 and it has pOLED, if it's under $100 I'll either get that or the A25.

damn. I also tried, and the phone price seems to jump between $49, $199 and full price. After couple of refreshes and emptying cart, and then selecting $45 plan, I got the desired due amount of $99, placed order which failed with the usual:

"Please contact us to complete your order.
Your security is important to us. Unfortunately can't complete your order online. Our award-winning Mobile Experts are ready to assist you. Please call us or visit a store to continue.

"

What's so DAMN about this thing is - Metro just tried to charge my card the full $690 for this phone and since the order failed, issued refund right away (pending charge and refund on my credit card account).
Looks like Metro website is pretty glitchy at this point. Anyone trying to purchase on their website, pelase be cautious,

Interesting things happened. Place the order at $90, confirmation email saying the total was $600, but my credit card still charged $90.

Did you check your credit card account activity for pending charges from Metro? Mine showed $690 charged and refunded right after. So, hesitant placing new order for a family member.

So, they eventually charged you correct amount? Mine still shows $700 pending charge.

Use privacy.com and set a transaction limit like $120. Then if it over charged, the transaction will be refused.
