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😀

When we oder the second/third/fourth phone, do we need a new number from GV to port in?
Thanks
Yes. For the iphone 12.
Some phones don't need a port in.

Ported a line ($3) over from google voice and added that line to my account from the previous iPhone 12 trade in for Pixel 9 deal. For the added line it was $35 and $49.99 for the iPhone 12. Added up I'm at $87.99 for an iPhone 12 for a future trade in.

How does one order more than one? Planning on doing trade-in to Apple mainly to use as gift cards if no good trade-in deals in the future.

Did you ever encounter an error when trying to complete this 2nd order to "Add a new Line"? I'm doing the same - i.e. add a 2nd iPhone 12 line, trying to port-in a number from Google Voice.

But after entering the Port-in details and payment details and reaching the final page where I click "I agree to T&C" and hit "Make the payment", I'm presented with a page that says:

Metro CC couldn't help - I've been dealing with at least 6 hours worth of CC calls over 4 days - between CC and Port-in departments and 5-6 times attempting to place a new order - and I'm nearly about to give up on this.

I know the URL says payment reject, but my CC shows a charge for $90 and then an immediate reversal - a real payment rejection shouldn't show up at all, right? Also this is the same payment card I successfully used for the 1st line.

Is there any insight you could provide on how you navigated that?

I have moved the Metro eSIM to another unlocked phone successfully. The other phone is from Straight Talk (just in case you need the info). Haven't tried moving the number back to GV as it was a temp number for me.
Moving eSIM is one thing. Moving number back to Google Voice is entirely different thing - it's called porting number into Google Voice.

Information about porting into Google Voice: https://support.google.com/voice/...-NC#xferin

So for first timers do we have to choose the $70/mo plan? I just want this for trade in value.

Trade in a locked phone to Apple? You most certainly can.
So look like a whole $200 for Apple trade in. Not sure worth the $70 it will net time and effort. I realize most are using these for other deals.

Metro is trying hard to limit the number of devices one can purchase for this deal. But nobody knows exactly how they do it.
If this is your first time as a Metro customer, you might be in luck. One trick that worked for a lot of people months ago was to use a browser from your newly purchased device on cellular (i.e. with Wi-Fi off). Not sure if it still works. If it doesn't, it's worth initiating an online chat with a rep.
For those of us who encounter this problem on the first try, it's likely they see us as recent customers. They do background checking after we submit the credit card info. I think it takes us directly to that page if our credentials are already in the database. I'm giving up this deal.

Keep in mind It will take a few hours until you can get it to work after a failed port.

New iPhone is coming soon, so TIV will be slashed before long. Better decide what your plan is.

It asks to pay - $125 for the first month with the Metro flex plus plan. It will be $70 per month from next month with auto pay.

What will be the breakage be in the first $125 bill? Will it show plan cost ($75) and device cost ($50) separately? Can someone give some example?

Context: my office reimburses $100 a month but only for carrier charges and not the device cost. So I want to make sure that bill has the right split and I can reimburse $75.
