It works in both cases: wireless or wired
Enough with this three-ring circus of customers exploitation.
I purchased this phone in June. In the settings it shows as locked and says it needs to be on the network for 180 days, despite the Metro unlock policy having changed to 1 year. At the end of next month I will be able to check if the phone unlocks after 180 days.
Alternatively, it's also available with Straight Talk for $130 for 3 months of service paid and also unlocks in 60 days post activation. No 3rd party verification needed.
This metro deal is not worth IMHO because of uncertainty with unlock (nobody knows with surety if it unlocks after 1 year of activation or after being on active plan with metro for 1 year. It has not been a year since Metro changed it's unlock policy in May 2024). That aside, it's not a great value to keep a mid-range device unusable as a phone for 1 year and wait for unlock. Others may differ in opinion and I respect that.
it will.

You should definitely go with the Total deal in this case. $10 cheaper, only 60 days to unlock, and in your case, the TracFone sim will work in it while still locked. I just tried this yesterday myself. Stuck a family members tracfone sim in my new locked Total edge 2024 just to see if it would work and it did. This is assuming of course your TracFone sim is on the Verizon network which it should if it's not years old.
Can't I do the same thing and just use the tracfone sim in it for a year? will it still unlock if I do that?

Your links are so helpful I appreciate it!
I went with the Metro S24 FE though. 1 year later it'll still be an upper midranger for $200 + $75 plan. Right now for reference, the S23 FE is >$500 retail. Samsung / Best Buy also sometimes give good TIVs for these.
granted these were slickdeals with launch and included a (nominal) trade in iirc, altho one plus also has that fake trade in were you dont actually trade in, and i dont remember which is which.
samsung does have more cache to casuals though and i do like the fe's flat screen. plus as with most things these days, prices are probably increasing over time not decreasing.

In that case I wait for good offers with Samsung. For 5+ years of updates, it's more worth waiting.
