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.

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)

Quote from rkster09 :
Will it work on Tmobile without unlock??
In the past I bought devices from Samsung that were locked to T-mobile.
They worked on both Metro & T-Mobile.
I used them with Metro the only problem is Metro can't unlock them because it is a T-Mobile device & T-Mobile can't unlock it because you are not using it with them.

i have both and both are new. 14 is faster likely due to extra 2gb ram.
the only and biggest draw back of 14 is iPhone removed physical SIM slot since then.

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)
Even 3rd world countries such as Nigeria, Vietnam support esim. LOL...

US Mobile didn't work for me. Got to verification screen, said I would need to visit a store, now won't let me retry that number. Ironically, or maybe not, it is a number that originated with Metro and was a paid account for 3 years.

iPhone 14 was a fake 'upgrade'. Same as 13, same chip, same design, with different colors and a couple of software features like Satellite messaging and Car Crash detection. And plastic tray instead of SIM card slot for USA. Only real change was extra 2GB RAM in 14. I suppose that is being reflected in just a $50 difference from 13 now on Metro.

Anyone know if the visible port out works
It still works I just ported a Visible number into Metro within the last couple of days. I initiated the port and activated the Metro phone while it was still en route with UPS, then my Visible number was good to go with Metro when I unboxed and turned it on and did the setup.

And FML I ordered the iPhone 13 for $99, 5 days ago, before Metro dropped the price and added the 14 for $99. Oh well.
