Yes but strangely enough when you hit unlock on this phone it says 180 days to unlock.
But will it unlock after 180 days? It is very interesting to find out.

Now you confirmed that it did not work with your T-Mobile SIM card from a post-paid plan. I believe you. I think they changed the software. It happened to Motorola G Stylus 2024 too. By the way it takes 360 days to get unlocked from Metro. No more 180 days since May 8th this year. Metro changed the rule.
HI, I think I lost the thread here. Does this phone Still work on a Tmobile Post paid Plan. Are we saying it used to, but now does not?

Still working for me so far. The phone got November update a couple of days ago, but it didn't change anything in regards it working with T-Mobile.

It should qualify as a post paid plan. I have this sim card for over a decade. It's a simple plan- plan that I used in T-Mobile. It's quite strange. I had the Stylus 2023. That took 180 days as well. So I assume and it was confirmed with this edge that Motorola doesn't work with Metro by T-Mobile. But for some reason all the Samsung phones (Metro) that I bought works with my T-Mobile Sim card.
Now I don't know whether I trust you or not because I received this phone today and verified that it took my expired T-Mobile SIM card fine and it also did Not accept the sim card from AT&T and Mint mobile. My T-Mobile SIM card had already expired, but it accepted it successfully and allowed me to talk to the T-Mobile operator since I didn't have service. It also displayed the information about that sim card like data usage and etc. Another thing someone just confirmed that it is still working with T-Mobile SIM card. Make sure go into the Settings and Network & Internet. Under this make sure to disable eSim and enable the SIM card. It should work.

Correct I received the phone today and tested with the expired T-Mobile SIM card and it accepted it successfully. It also didn't accept the sim from AT&T and Mint mobile.

I just received this phone today and verified that it still accepted my expired T-Mobile SIM card successfully and rejected two other SIM cards from different carriers (at&t and mint mobile). So ignore previous message about not working with T-Mobile SIM card.

Is your T-Mobile SIM card from a postpaid plan or prepaid plan?

Just as a PSA, anyone who recently bought this phone should consider getting the free Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ for just the $20 service plan for a month.

When I tried ordering online today, it made me call in to Metro to order the tablet which I did successfully.

Metro didn't send me a sim card, but I activated it through eSim. Under Network and Internet of the Settings, there is an option to turn on/off the sim card, make sure to turn off the eSim and turn on the T-Mobile SIM card. This phone works with T-Mobile SIM well

Do we know that this just requires of one month of paid service after activation, or if it has to be activated the entire duration before being unlocked? I know it may be uncertain if the unlock period is 6 months or 1 year, but either way, is one month paid service going to cut it?

Also, will this work on an at&t mvno? Other moto phones I got in the past on cheaper deals did, but not this exact phone.

only 1 month service and wait for 6 months or 1 year. Other Metro phones work on FreeUp (At&t MVNO)
