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
Single Core: 2200
Multi Core: 5219

iPhone 14

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)

$25, but it costs $50 to downgrade.

can't you let the first lapsed then start a new activation at $25?

Whats Cheapest plan to downgrade?

$25: Unl. Call/Text, no data

$30 2GB data

The phone is locked, or I'd say you could use the 2nd SIM for a cheap data plan from Lyca or something for your data (15gb/mo. for $7.50)

First the trade in value is more than what you paid. This coming August Best Buy will give you a free Pixel 10 for it.Second those of us using an iPhone as our DD will have this as an excellent backup phone in a year. RSim seems to unlock these now for immediate use on T-Mobile.

Correct. That's why the 13 is probably a better buy

You can get a google voice number and port out as well

In the rest thread someone just said visible port in did not work nor did google voice. Any confirmations?

The 14 is the first model to connect to satellite. This fact was promoted during the Florida hurricanes.

Would using Visible referral also trigger CB as well or one or the other?

exactly... while esim is now common in most civilized countries, there are several that do not allow esim for foreign visitors.(or make it hard for a foreign visitor to get esim by making you visit a carrier's office in town, instead of a booth right at the airport)

I did the pixel tab trade in. Bought a used iPad for 89 bucks off eBay the week they announced the deal. I didn't buy it 6 month ago for 250. Things get cheaper if you are buying to trade in.
