If you activate the phone then delete the esim will it still unlock in a year?
It should unlock as the terms state that the device only needs to be have been activated. But to be safe I would make a few calls before you delete the eSIM.
I got the iPhone 13 deal. Now I can't order a 12 online. The message states I can call customer service to find out why I am ineligible.
I did the iPhone 11 deal 18 months ago, and that was my only purchase.
That's interesting. I activated my iPhone 13 today, and immediately tried to order a 12, and got the same message. I was able to successfully order one an hour later.
May have to wait a bit, make a couple of phone calls, etc. The second time I also used a browser on the new phone, not the app. Logged in to my account only after plugging in my visible phone number after it approved my phone number. The metro website has always been wonky. Just try again later using a slightly different route.
Does anyone know.. what's the cheapest unlocked phone you can buy that has eSIM? I really want to do the Visible $5 e-SIM trick for this deal.. but sadly all my phones are currently locked. I'm wondering if anyone here knows of an inexpensive unlocked phone with eSIM that will simply be used as a device for downloading and activating eSIMs?
I had this popup too. Basically it has to do with the port. I was porting from us mobile and they would not release it. I had to contact us mobile and told them to release the number. Metro canceled that order and tell me to order again in 4 hours.
Did your order go through after the wait period? I've been told different times from 30 mins, 2 hours, and now even 24 hours. They cancelled my port 2 times already and now I'm waiting 24 hours to try again but
I feel like it won't work

That's been my experience as well not able to get a fourth. Not sure anyone has.
I just ordered my 4th iphone12. I had my initial month service expired day before y'day, but y'day I extended it for three days for free and today able to order another line. Hope this order delivers. Planning to trade them with best buy for $145 each unless someone have better trade in values elsewhere.

So do you think that they have a waiting period between order 3 and 4?

As long as you don't have any pending activation you should be able to order another line. I always wait for the phone to be delivered and then activate it. And then next day it allows me to add another line. So roughly 1 day wait is there.

So the 72 hr grace extension is counted from when you request the extension, and not from when your account became suspended?

Yeah I believe so. My first order payment was on 21st Sep, which got activated on 24th Sep. So my line was due on 24th Oct and I extended it yday so will get more clarity in next 2 days. Just fyi my a/c status is still showing suspended in their website.

Thanks for the info! Wondering if I should try to extend my account and order another one. But I am not sure that I will be able to activate the phone in time so it would only be good for trading in.

Tried to order >48 hours after account activation but still no success.
After multiple failed tries (new/existing metro account, phone number, email, ip address, wifi/cellular), I start to believe it's related to my address. I have ordered three phones under three different accounts. The fourth order cannot go through no matter what. Anyone was able to order more than three phones?

I feel like if you extend your service on weekday, you will be able to make it. Since their order usually delivers in 2 days. Last order was on Wed, Oct 23, 5:23 PM, and delivered on Friday.
