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😀

Were you able to order the tablet right after activating the iphone? I was getting a message when trying to add another line right after activating the iphone.
Oh, I would try a different web browser. I had issues ordering the first iphone until I tried safari.

If you send the phone out of the country, does it affect the unlocking process?

I did this earlier, sent it to India. It still had two months left from 6 months and it unlocked after the set 2 months time. No extra steps to be done

did you port a Google voice #? have the same issue, I can call , but , incoming calls still go to google voice, activated on Aug 23rd
Call the metro port dept, they can manually complete the port.
(800) 518-7519
It happens to most GV ports. You will know the port is completed properly when you get an email (to the GV account) saying it was ported out.

Quote from MemorableStew1728 :
I answered my question, mostly

Got my IPhone 12 in today. After stumbling around trying to activate it because mine didn't auto activate, found I could go here and use order number to activate

https://www.metrobyt-mobile.com/r...s/activate

After that, logged in to Metro account and went ahead and moved my Metro plan to another IMEI - - my Pixel 9's second esim slot

Worked like a charm. All within a few minutes

From here, should be easy to port back to GV

But my main reason for doing this is that I can go to Best Buy mow and trade in the iPhone 12 for my second Pixel 9 while keeping the Metro line active and working so I can order a tablet (see Samsung 20 dollar tablet deal) and have access to the account if needed
any requirements to get tablet? I added my first line and got the phone activated today… am I eligible to get another phone and tablet? Do I have to renew my plan to be eligible?

I was able to accomplish this. Second phone was $49, google voice number was $3, and the added line was $35 per month. Total price for the second iPhone 12 was $87.
How did you get this second GV number for this second phone? Did you create another GV account? Thanks.

If we're interested in keeping the iphone in a drawer for 365 days and see it it unlocks, does porting out the number at the end of the 1st month cause any issues?? I seem to recall hearing something like that in the past, but not sure what carrier it was.

Don't expect it to work reliably. Apple has made changes to it's OS to patch most RSim exploits I've heard.

Only if someone were foolish enough to bother getting it unlocked for $$$. Everyone else will use it for trade in or wait 365 days.
(also possible to pay the $50(?) penalty and switch to a cheaper Metro plan.. might be good for some people.)
