Just trying to understand his deal a little bit better, if I have a Tracfone with an active number can I use that to bring into this deal to get the iphone by porting that number over? I'm just trying to get the phone.

Also, what would I have to pay out of pocket monthly and for how long to keep the phone? I essentially just wanna get the phone and Use it for the least amount of time possible and then use it as my main phone (which has a regular T-Mobile plan, not metro). In this case, would it matter that the phone has to wait 365 days to unlock or would it not matter because metro and standard T-Mobile are the same carrier?
Porting your number from TF should be OK if it uses TF/Verizon or TF/AT&T. Metro MIGHT not accept the number if it uses TF/T-mo. You can enter your TF number during ordering to see if it's eligible.

You don't have to pay anything after the 1st month (Autopay is turned off by default). If you don't pay for the 2nd month, the line will be suspended on Day 31 and the account closed on Day 61. Some Metro phone works with a T-mo SIM even when still locked to Metro, most DON'T. You'll need some datapoints from people who had bought this Metro iPhone 13.

A member on another forum said transferring service to a previously-activated Metro phone or a BYOP phone is free and can be done yourself, but transferring to new, never activated Metro phone requires help from a rep and maybe $25 charge. I don't know how true that info is.
Thanks, I previously ran into issues transferring service from a non-activated (sealed) Metro phone to an unlocked BYOP. I had to call CS 3 times before I found a rep that was willing to waive the $25 charge.

Worth getting a higher version for more cost?

Personal preference. Get a 12 for $75 and a second for $35 64gb. Or spend $99+75 for 128gb.

Metro no longer accepts GV for port-in. People have been getting a new service/phone number from Visible, using a referral code to bring the cost down to $5.
damn i just unlocked a GV number hoping it would go through and it didn't. and now i read this....hehe...

Total requires ID Verification (upload pictures of ID/Driver License and a selfie) which some people might not want to do.

Thanks so much for detailing this. So I pay for 1st month and then don't pay for 2nd month and phone will work without metro service on wifi only? Then after 1 year when it's unlocked? Sound correct?

I am curious if it does work with my tmo sim

So what's the next step? I assume you arent going to use metro service on all 3 phones after 1st month. How do you easily get these working in a different provider after 1st month, without waiting a year for them to unlock?

Score one IPhone 13 yesterday ..was getting error after payment page but then I called Metro rep and he was able to order for me while on the call. The issue was my cc having billing address of NH and I was shipping it to PA. Hope it helps. I used the cc which had same billing and shipping and worked like charm.

No, I didn't buy these to use on Metro, and you can't unlock these after the 1st month, you have to wait the 365 for them to unlock them, but I'm not waiting either, I may use them for trade or sell them.

I got a visible number for $5 (it was $25 but got $20 off) but I dont have an Account Number or a PIN. It says "Port out option is not applicable for Pre-Active account." . How have others gotten their Visible $5 number ported to Metro. Please help.
