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)

I purchased an iPhone 13 yesterday, and it's scheduled for delivery on Monday. I'm considering activating that phone, adding another line to that account, and purchasing the iPhone 14 with the cheapest Metro plan. Not sure if this strategy still works, but I successfully did something similar with the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 deal a few months ago.
I was thinking the same thing. It's a bummer that I don't have another number to port over.

When the iPhone 14 is in my cart, and I select Metro Flex Plus ($70/mo), I only get a $150 discount for a $479.99 price (instead of $99.99). I'm porting in a number from StraightTalk, so I should be able to get the $99 price. Am I doing anything wrong?

Relevant note: yesterday, I was trying to (unsuccessfully) purchase the iPhone 13 deal, & didn't enter the "account#" info correctly (apparently it's the IMEI), so I got locked out of the deal ("please go to a store"). Is that what's affecting my ability to get this deal?

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)?

No. Locked to Metro. You can use mksd on iphone 13 since it has physical sim

Whats the best/cheapest way to get a brand new number so that I can port it for this deal? Would mint's 7 day prepaid trial sim card for like $2 work? Thanks.

How will that work when the requirements are the $70 flex? Good news, when you add a line, that $70 plan goes to $35 in cart.

You won't get the price with a cheaper plan, the good news is on subsequent lines, the flex plus gets discounted to $35.

I went to the metro pc store by my house, the sales person said, I had to keep Metro Flex Plus Plan for 3 months; than I can switch to a more affordable plan. Obviously you should ask because they could be lying to me.
