PSA: if you're planning to use rsim19 to do the mickey mouse unlock method, DO NOT update to the latest iOS 17.7 (or even iOS 18 for that matter). My rsim19 doesn't work. Idk maybe I got a bunk rsim19. Lol
I just updated to ios18 and the sticker unlock still works.FYI: I use helium mobile(tmobile network) sim in this metro iphone 12.

I don't know about that
The way I see the cell phones world is either Apple or Samsung.
Everything else is noise and distractions
I'd never touch a Google phone after I find out how much they harvest , spy about you.
I do a lot of phone deals, including iPhones, Motos, and Pixels. My main phone is a Samsung S24 and the backup phone is an A54. I have a Metro unlocked Moto Razr 2023 as a novelty, and a Cricket Moto G Stylus 5G 2024 as a media device. I don't care for iPhones and Pixels, but that doesn't keep me from buying and selling them Big Grin

Ordered 3:30pm Friday, UPS app shows a label was created but the Metro order status page now says "There is a delay in your shipment". UPS hasn't progressed past the "label has been created" point.
Update, UPS now has the package as scanned in their possession. Still no shipped email from Metro and order status still says delayed.

Metro phones are shipped from a distributor in Indiana. Sometimes communication between the distributor and Metro breaks down and Metro has no ideas that the phone was shipped.

Ordered yesterday. Just received a text from UPS for tomorrow delivery. No shipping email from Metro yet. I'm gonna use this phone for trade in with Apple. With Metro new 1 year locked policy, these phones are of no use other than for trade in.

Weird. When I ordered my first at the end of August I received a shipping email. This week I ordered I didn't receive one either. Hopefully it's on the way as I have no way of checking (not signed up for UPS notifications.)

EDIT... literally JUST received email notice it was shipping today. Just a few minutes after posting this. Stick Out Tongue

If you don't need to log into your Metro account to buy more phones/tablets, then you don't need to activate it. Else, you'll need to activate it so it will be working and can receive the security code from Metro to log into the account.

R-sim is more like a brand name to me. There are many different vendors and they are generally called 'card stickers' in Chinese.

You can't get a 2nd GV number using the same Google account if the 1st one hasn't been completely ported out of GV yet. Just create/use another Google account to get another GV number to buy a 2nd phone.

Order was placed Monday morning. From the order status page, it was shipped yesterday and the estimated delivery date is this Thursday. However I received an email from UPS a few hours ago saying that it will be delivered tomorrow. And shortly thereafter I received an email from T-Mobile that my order was shipped.

Question - on the order status page it says:

Transferring your number
We are ready to complete the transfer of your number.
Select 'Activate' below to complete the number transfer.

Clicking Activate will activate your new number with your new device.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't click activate now? If I were actually using the number I could see why I would want to wait for the phone to arrive before completing the transfer, but this is a burner number so that doesn't matter.
