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 digital330 :
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.
Had no idea iphone 14 has 6GB RAM vs iPhone 13 4GB RAM. That's a huge upgrade.
Also, Satelite Messaging, is gold. I do so much hiking and skiing.

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.
Same here. Sigh.

I know it, but we are talking about a US deal.

It's a good deal if you are going to use metro for a year or use it for trade-in (current trade-in value is $250 at BB and $300 at Apple). But I wouldn't put this in a drawer and wait a year to use it. It's a long time and new deals will show up.

same question i asked and none responded.
normally we cannot trade in any phone if the phone is contract obligations like monthly payments etc..
this metro phone is prepaid and after one month the service will be stopped but we dont have contract obligation... yes..it will be locked state from network perspective... my assumption is, the phone should be able to trade in as "locked to metro" state
but i want to see other opinion who might have more experience in these situations

Would it be possible to get this phone, use it on Metro for a month or so then use it on another T-Mobile MNVO (mint or us mobile)?

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

https://www.mtn.ng/sim/esim/
Don't know if you've been to these countries. Most people in poor countries buy SIM cards from vendors off the streets, not from official stores which are sporadically spread out through a city. It makes sense for them because eSIM only devices are very rare in those countries. Unless you buy a travel eSIM before you go, better to bring a pSIM device if traveling overseas, especially to developing countries.

There's a reason why non-US iPhones still have a pSIM slot.
