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😀

Ordered 3rd phone,all went thru and at last asked to call them. My CC charged but didn't get any email. Called support and they gave me the order number. Is this strange?
If this is the same as what happened to me, Your order probably didn't go through, check your cc statement to see if you got an immediate refund too. Cc told me the same, asked to wait for a day, no email, and when I called the next day they said the order is cancelled and I need to place a new one.

What eventually worked was to change the address.

That's pending charge. It'll disappear. I've tried 8 times so far.

Got the same error message too. I'll keep an eye on Metro's site later, as of now, they're still advertising the deal.
Follow up: Errors out trying to order from my cell but ordered from my laptop without any issues. Not sure if others that are having issues are doing so from the cell phone, but if you are, try using a PC if you can.

I've tried 3 different addresses, 4 different credit cards including cards with different names, 3 different names, incognito, vpn, mobile, desktop, chrome and safari, 3 different email addresses, GV Account starting with 1 and without 1.

Nothing works. "Please contact us to complete your order" is all I get. I give up, this deal is dead to me. Time to look on the marketplace for iphone 12. Just need one to trade it in for the new iphone.

So basically a free phone with a 3 year contract, and you're locked into the expensive rate plans. If you're not on a phone family plan (sometimes even if you are), it's cheaper over the long run to use an MVNO.

I wholeheartedly agree. I've done the math and looked at it in different perspectives. One will ALWAYS save on MVNO plans over post-paid ones after purchasing a phone outright with trade-ins. There are only three scenarios where I would purchase postpaid. 1. If I were wealthy 2. If my time is extremely limited and time is too valuable to spend any time thinking about cell phone plans 3. If I need priority data all the time because I'm an important business man, Taylor Swift, or a top-notch politician. I've switched my wife from T-Mobile postpaid to Boost Mobile, then to Mint Mobile, then to Tello, and she doesn't know the difference in call quality/data. All the MVNOs I just listed are T-Mobile MVNOs!

AT&T giving full $1000 credits over 36 months for iPhone 12

True...but you only benefit if you need one of their most expensive unlimited plans and are seeking convenience ....and....willing to overlook the loss of your current phone which can be sold or given to someone.


Look at your monthly data usage and see what plan matches the usage, then subtract the price from the unlimited plans and you'll see how much you're overspending on your plan. This amount will almost always be more expensive than buying the phone outright. Since you're losing money on the trade-in, they're actually making even more money. If someone were to come in with a new phone and pick a plan that meets their data usage, AT&T wouldn't make as much money. See the scheme all the wireless carriers are engaged in?

Tello is GOAT

One tip: unused data and minutes roll over from month to month if you initiate a new plan right before old one renews

I had exact same experience twice

If no email, it didn't go through

Wait a few hours and use your metro number as number on order and order from work and with different cc and it may go through
