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.

Thanks, what are other easy alternatives? Freeup work? I saw someone posted issues with freeup too!
I used Visible, it worked good, ordered my phone thursday, will deliver tomorrow monday, plan is $25, but you can get a referral code and total will be $5, you need an unlocked phone compatible with ESIM if you want to get an instant account, otherwise you need to wait to receive the physical sim in the mail

If I use mksd v5.6 in this iPhone, does this work with boost mobile?

if already on boost mobile they have iphone 13 for $149.99 now check to see if can upgrade with current plan. if not no port required with $60 plan can just swap your sim to it. Just make sure to activate new sim card so they don't try charge you full price for device later on.

Just be aware of Boost's unlocking policy (https://help.boostmobile.com/docs...g-policy):

Devices on Prepaid Plans ("Prepaid Devices):

For current and former customers in good standing and individual owners of eligible Prepaid Devices on prepaid Boost plans, we will unlock your Prepaid Device one (1) year after initial activation, after a reasonable time, and after you have met all payment or usage requirements. We will automatically unlock such Prepaid Devices remotely within two (2) business days of a Prepaid Device becoming eligible for unlocking. However, if you meet the requirements and it's not technically possible to unlock your Prepaid Device remotely, we will instead immediately notify you that your Prepaid Device is eligible to be unlocked.

With respect to Prepaid Devices, "reasonable time" and "payment or usage requirements" means:

No Prepaid Device balance: If you have financed your Prepaid Device, the Prepaid Device balance must be paid off in full before it is eligible for unlocking.
Account must be active: If your account is in "suspended" status one-year post initial activation, your Prepaid Device will not be eligible for unlocking until it is out of "suspended" status.
Not already unlocked: If your Prepaid Device is already unlocked because of a customer request (i.e. unlocked for international travel), it will not be automatically unlocked at the one-year mark.

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?
My receipt says that I was charged $20 each for the screen protector and the case , plus there is a $8 charge for Google One drive (that was told my Metro customer service as my plan charge was 83)

so boost mobile does a trade in value on this locked phone for about $200. it appears you can get a visa GC. i know its not as high as the $230 for the apple GC, but is the apple gc just for apple?

So $240 - $20 for case - $20 for screen protector = $200.

$200 - $100 for phone - $75 for plan - $8 for extra G1 space = $17.

That $17 is likely tax and you probably avoided an activation fee.

You can call into support and immediately cancel the G1 add-on.

As for the case and screen protector, you accepted them and paid for them.

You are not likely to win a chargeback claim based on what you've posted here.

For that purpose, iPhone 12 seems to be a better deal.. 150-80 (75+5) =70
So you're saying it works better because each iphone 12 will be 70 for a higher apple credit?

The 13 costs $99 more than the 12 (free) but Apple's trade-in value for the 13 is only around $70 higher than the 12. So your net after trading-in a 13 is lower.
