Let be clear on their unlocking policy. There is 365 days waiting time, and also the phone should have service for 180 days within 365 days. This is per my recent conversation with their customer service agent.
Please remember that their unlock policy criteria does not specify automatic unlock regardless of the service time.

You're missing the point here. 99% of us only want to pay $125 1x to get the phone. You want to pay $70 a month for 2 years. Not us😀

Quote from Danzilla :
There's no contract, so after one month ($125 = $75 (1 month)+ $50 (phone)) just don't pay for more. Can trade in the iphone on another deal... or sell it to someone willing to using Metro... or store it and wait 365 days and see if it auto-unlocks.Not paying for additional months is NOT the same as downgrading and getting a cheaper plan. Just because they want to penalize you for downgrading doesn't mean you can't just stop using the service. So penalty only applies if you want to keep using Metro service.
Ok...I see your second reply now. I didn't know that prepay doesn't have your CC info.

Ok. I'm just worried about where it says I can't go to a lower plan in the first six months.
There's a reason you're seeing this as "hot deal". you think we are on slickdeals will pay 1 year for this 5 years old junk?

I don't know if I've ever seen a huge price break on a phone without some sort of service commitment.

365 day unlock, but can you use a Tmobile SIM in the meantime?
No, only after unlocking.

Well, they do have an autopay option. When you select that you get $5 off each month and then would have to go into your account and cancel. WIthout autopay, you should just not have to pay for additional month(s).

Bb doesn't care your phone is locked or unlocked. As long model and color matched is fine. Some said color might not important either.

I will not guarantee anything. Nothing is guaranteed in this world. To be honest it doesn't matter if phone is unlocked for trade in. They have ways to unlock any phone. They only care about if the phone is reset to factory settings (in fact the only care about if 'find my phone' has been turned off). But it doesn't prevent asshole or clerks don't understand this and refuse for trade in. For Best Buy, it's essentially the same phone as T-Mobile phone and it's essentially the same as unlocked. The barrier is on the human intensionally or unintentionally blocking the trade in.

PS: anecdotally, I saw people successfully traded in at best buy on reddit. When metro is NOT an option the clerk at BB just checked the T-Mobile option in the system.

PPS: personally, I traded in my metro phone to Spectrum online without any issue.
