For the people who tried google voice, does something change when you actually unlock the number? Because when I enter both of my google voice numbers now it says I'm eligible for the discount but my mint mobile number removes the discount as expected.

Also as a heads up I called my local metro and they had the iphone 14 for $99 on the same deal.

I was hoping to get some advice or confirmation about this deal. I currently have an AT&T phone and was planning to move over to T-Mobile eventually. The most important thing to me is to keep my current number. So would it work if I just got this deal "in between" the switch? So basically I would:
  1. Get this deal with the iPhone 13 by porting my AT&T number to Metro Flex
  2. Use the Metro Flex service for just one month
  3. After the one month, cancel the Metro service by porting the number to T-Mobile (which is where I want to end up with the original phone number)
So basically, I would just take advantage of my AT&T number to come up with a iPhone 13 that I can use after 12 months unlocking period.
Would this work? (Keeping in mind that I don't want to lose my original number.)

Thanks in advance!

I miss those days Metro-by-Tmobile required only 6 months to unlock... For one year, it's really a long wait.
So Metro now currently forces buyers to wait a whole year to unlock the device instead of 6 months like before? 🙄🤷🏽 ♂️

I purchased 2 when they were $99, and although locked for 1 year they've been working flawlessly for several months now on Tello using MKSD Ultra V5.6
so, you used on Tello after they got unlocked after 1yr or used on Tello before 1 yr unlock. also, what is MKSD Ultra?

Yes that will work. You are able to request your Metro port out details anytime in the MyMetro app once your service is active.

Is it dead? "Add to cart" is greyed out even after port-in number approved.

Perhaps, same here.

The port out went through but the order was not completed. It asked to visit the store or call the free number.

Edit:

Now it says;
Unfortunately, this number can't be transferred. Try another number or choose a new number to continue.

It's a new VISIBLE number that I created and activated an hour ago.

If an order is not completed, Metro blocks the number temporarily from 4-8 hours.

You can change the visible number from chat bot and try with the new number.

iPhone 14 is surely coming online very soon.

You can enter your Google voice and Metro site will say it's eligible to port in. But when you add the iPhone to the cart, it only discount to $479.99, not $49.99. You need an AT&T or Verizon number to get the phone for $49.99. Get a Visible number (Verizon networt) with a referral for $5 to port in.

Metro purchase function is deactivated from 12:00AM to 1:00AM PST (3-4AM EST). Don't try to order during that hour.

The European model is sold in a bunch of other places so they can continue selling those in other parts of the world (not in North America)

iPhone 14 Model A2882
iPhone 14 Plus Model A2886

iPhone SE Model A2783

They no longer list iP13 but its probably similar regions
Exactly. Why bring it to a market that doesn't have the slot only to retrain you guys to fix it. Easier and cheaper not to.

Note that there are exceptions. Multiple people report that their Moto Edge purchased after the policy change unlocked after 6 months.

I have the cheaper VIP plan on metro. If I let the Flex plan expire during the first month, can I replace my current phone on the Flex plan with this one? Will I still have to pay the $50 if done within 6 months?
