Thanks OP! I just added a google voice number to my google account and ported that in. Takes no time at all. You'll need to go to GV settings and pay $3.00 to unlock the number. You'll also need to enable the "Call to Listen" setting under Voicemail which will let you set a PIN which Metro will ask for. You'll also need the google account number which is just the phone number.

i didnt have a phone for esim, so ordered the sim from visible, 7 days later, port didnt go through on website, but piece of cake over the phone, the number worked first time, no needing to change it for visible.

Hard to say. I got 3 12s in the March deal. 2 13s now. One of the 12 became a free Pixel 9 plus $100 gift card from Best Buy and a second replaced my son's iPhone with a cracked screen. I plan to use the 13s for me and my wife's daily drivers in 18 months.
All on Metro or another carrier?

I'm confused at how you think these locked phones are driving up prices?
If anything it should reduce the trade in value, or reduce used market prices for metro model.

Quote from emofals :
Well, I stocked up iPhone 13 from Xfinity for the same price like a month back. They will unlock in 2 years, perfect time when our batteries for current phones would have detoriated too much, then I can switch to these. Now the additional iPhone 13 I have will allow one of us to switch after 1 year and the 12 I score at 125 will allow the other to switch sooner. I don't think I am looking to trade in as much. I traded my 12 for new pixel 9, it's still sitting in the drawer collecting dust and folks low balling on market place. Chances are that 13 might go for $50, but then the $40 difference (75-35) makes it a no brainer if I have to wait. So maybe just go with 13 for $135 and call it a day.. either ways, I am bad at reselling, which adds an added burden of collecting too many devices for recycling.

Phew, still the thought of deciding before the time run outs is driving me crazy. Lol
I agree, it can be a hassle. Getting a free phone, even as a great deal, can be a hassle if you don't want to use it and their value deteriorates faster than gravity. I am done with that stuff after my last trade-in in a few weeks. But I will keep one 13 for future use/trade-in.

For those who bought this phone, can anybody kindly send a screenshot of what they paid up at the time of checkout (including activation + fee). I needto file a chargeback against the store for charging me $240 for the same.

Join the US military and get deployed. That's the only exception.

$100 (discounted price) + $75 (phone service) + sales tax on $630 is just under $240. Include an activation fee (which the stores charge) and you're right around $240, give or take depending on your local sales tax rate.

If you managed to get a store to sell you JUST the phone and plan with no additional charges beyond the activation fee and the (legally required) sales tax, you should consider yourself lucky. You shopped at one of the only honest Metro stores.

Most of the stores will only sell the iPhone in a bundle, forcing you to buy an overpriced case and screen protector and many of them will opt you in to insurance (an additional $10 monthly charge, can be removed by phone support) even if you say no.

But at the price point you're claiming, it doesn't sound like that happened.

What does your receipt say?

Has anyone recently posted GV number? I entered my GB number then it says this qualifies, but on next page it doesn't apply discount and shows price of $479 or something like that!

Any idea if GV is eligible transfer for Metro? If not, then what are other easy transfer options?

TIA

Thanks, what are other easy alternatives? Freeup work? I saw someone posted issues with freeup too!
