Came out to $288.24 with tax. Ported over GV# over the phone with little to no hassle because the website kept giving me issues. Planning on switching over to the $25 unlimited plan if possible. To me it seems like a great deal for a top MID tier phone. Not sure why everyone more for less without some drawbacks.
Switch to cheap plan costs $50:
Can I switch plans after enrolling in a Metro Flex plan?
Yes, you can change plans at any time. However, moving to a lower cost plan within the first 6 months of activation or adding a line, you will incur a one-time rate plan downgrade charge of $50 to move plans. If you don't want to pay this charge, you can leave Metro at any time without having to pay, or you can wait 6 months on your current plan.
The Samsung 24fe for the American market comes with a exynos processor. The 23fe has a snapdragon. The 24fe is faster but the exynos is Samsungs in house processor. Anyone have any experience exynos?
It was better before we abused it. I only bought phones for family / friends, didn't flip any of them, but that's still close to a dozen devices that were on Metro's network for just one month. I am honestly surprised that the old unlock policy lasted as long as it did.
So, how long do you have to keep this line active without a penalty? Also, how long before they unlock the phone? I'm on Red Pocket(AT&T LVPO) and I'm paying $30/month for unlimited talk, text and 20 GB data. The Metro Flex Plus is $70/month

Active immediately for 1 month. (you paid for 1st month of service)
Unlock 12months after you received it. Don't need to be in service.
Some t-mobile post paid sims seem to get past Metro's lock and work right out of the box.
Don't know if tmobile pre-paid sims work.
Don't know if t-mobile mvno's work. (ie: Mint mobile)

Not sure what will happen if it's an official T-Mobile SIM, or other sub-brands like Mint or Ultra Mobile.
