AFAIK the Metro esim is not preloaded but rather gets installed when the phone is first turned on and activated. My understanding is that if you are not planning to unseal/turn on the phone and want to sell it later as new and unlocked, you should switch the line to a different device (that is not paired to a Metro account) so that the IMEI is no longer associated with your Metro account. This is what I have done with one of the 12's I got.
That is a great point.

I hope my understanding is correct. I am still trying to find the post from "smn" that you referenced last night, are you sure that is the correct username? I did a search for "smn" and the only user that came up was someone who hadn't posted in over 2 years.

*edit*: wait is "smn" = "someone"? If so I may have found the post, it was from dealwars?

Quote from HonestStew9454 :
I traded in iphone 12 to ATT for upgrade installment, website said 1000 credits when I ordered but I received only 350 credits.
Now they updated their web and showed only 350.
I had a feeling of beeing cheated by ATT.Chat with ATT and wanted to get iphone 12 back and turned in iphone 13 promax for 1000 credits but they declined.
Now I am calling to cancel upgrade because it is less than 14 days but they let me to listen to music only.
Be careful with ATT, misleading customers.

Anyone have any luck with more than 3 lines? I've tried every trick I could think of with no luck. Does this mean that I'm banned from Metro forever? This was my first experience with them. I actually got the phones to use. My kids are getting unlocked iPhone 12s for Christmas 2025!

For those using Visible's number, if the order fails, the port doesn't get released. At least it doesn't within the next 48 hours. In the past, a Google Voice number failed port would free itself up again within 2-3 hours. I had to actually call into their porting department to cancel the pending port even though the order failed.

With that said, I am getting the dreaded "contact us" message twice now trying to get #3.

Yeap,here it is.

Quote from dealwars
If you're trading it in, not much. If you're selling it on, having an eSIM on the device will open you up to a Not as Described claim on eBay, etc. if you sold it as "brand new". If the eSIM (and account, suspended or not) is paired to the device and you sell it on to a Metro user, they won't be able to activate it on Metro and that will also generate a Not as Described claim. If you want to resell the smart thing to do is:
Activate the line.
Move the line to another device to ensure the original IMEI is clear.
Factory reset the iPhone.
You can do all of that with an open box, without having to remove the plastic on the phone. Advertise it as "like new, open box, SIM removed" and anyone buying will know exactly what they're getting.

If you really need it that bad then need to work your way out for sure thing.
1) Avoid tracking by IP
2) Avoid tracking by hardware
3) Avoid tracking by cookies/cache
4) Avoid tracking by payment method
5) Avoid tracking by payment method on single person

Basically you need to order it for P2 for some new address with some unrelated to you credit card with unrelated laptop/tablet. Of course the price would be for a new 1 line and not $35 as one would expect for 4th line.​

Yes, everything you said is true, but if you are planning to have it unlocked, unless the phone is activated on a metro line the unlock timer will not start, so doing this is only valuable if want to resell the phone as sealed phone locked to metro.

Yes I was able to add a 4th line on my other account, what worked for me was to wait for 2 days after activating 3rd line. Same address, same payment. The account that I kept trying to order multiple times in 24 hours kept failing.
