I think the various Metro iPhone deals should be merged because a lot of the questions are being asked in the different threads and they're mostly relevant to all of them.


iPhone 12, 64gb, "Free" with port in and plan of $75 = $75

iPhone 13, 128gb, $49.99 with port in and plan of $75 = $125

iPhone 14, 128gb, $99.99 with port in and plan of $75 = $175


If you have a Visible line you can use a referral to get $20 off the $25 plan = $5 for the line and then you can port that into Metro.

Additional lines on Metro are $35 so add that to the cost of the phone above for the cost of additional lines. So additional iPhone 12 would be $35.

Various experiences on the success of adding lines to your Metro account, though. Some go through hell just trying to add one. Others can add three or four more.

Unlock does supposedly take a year now, and I don't think anyone can confirm yet that it will actually unlock if you get the plan/phone for the first month and then let your plan/account just die (because you don't set up auto-bill to renew after the first month unless you really want to) - but I don't think there's any reason to suspect it won't unlock.

That's the crux of it. Again, there are already a few posts existing, especially for the iPhone 12 deal, so your questions have been likely already been answered if you want to search those threads.

If anyone cares, there is not much difference in Geekbench scores

iPhone 13

I'd just get the iPhone 13 for $125 (similar deal from Metro as well). The phones are nearly identical, with the same processor.

Trade in values are also very similar, with Apple offering $50 more for this (and it costing $50 more)

Highly unlikely, it's probably like all their other deals like this. They actually changed their unlock policy to 12 months now.

No chance but you can unlock after a year. You don't need to have service for that year though if you want to keep it as a backup or wifi only device. You can also downgrade service to a cheaper metro plan if you want to use it for the year until you unlock.

Metro by T-Mobile's one-year unlock waiting period policy is a major drawback.

Yes, unlock can be an issue. But if you are getting this phone for tradein - does not matter.

What is the cheapest plan you can downgrade to if you choose to keep the phone and use it?

Agreed. The processor is basically the same too. Certainly not worth paying another 50 for

i have both and both are new. 14 is faster likely due to extra 2gb ram.

I load up on 13 because that sim slot is still valuable. Main phone is 13 pro max. I have a 14 pro max that I'll trade in for the 17 when it comes out.

iPhone 14 for just $99.99!

• Requires the Metro Flex Plus plan and an eligible port-in.

• Pro Tip: Use a Visible referral link to get a new number for only $5.

• Port-in must be from a non-T-Mobile and non-VoIP carrier.

• The phone will be automatically unlocked after one year.


how do i delete this comment? are there no options to?
