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

Multi Core: 5473

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)

Looks like my credit/debit card is blocked. I changed my Visible new number with the chat bot, new port number and all the nine yards on the Metro site. Then clicked to finish the order, the cart is empty.

Or Metro banned my address? Oh well, back to the Batcave. NFL Playoffs is today. Cheers

The amount of questions in this thread that have been answered previously is absurd.

So just buy and wait for year to unlock and I can use it over wifi. And after year I can use my tmobile sim with no issue?

Question is: Will it still automagically unlock after a year with no service attached? That is the $64,000 question.

$25, but it costs $50 to downgrade.
So 1st month 75, 2nd month 75, 10 months 25

179+150+250 (no data for 10 months)= 579 for the phone over a year then you can unlock
179 + 900 (75 monthly plan) = 1079

Is this worth the hassle?

$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)
I have visible when I typed my number it showed it is eligible.

So 1st month 75, 2nd month 70, 10 months 25
99+ 75+ 120 (second month + downgrade) +250 (no data for 10 months)= 544 for the phone over a year then you can unlock


175 + 770 (70 monthly plan 11 months) = 945

Is this worth the hassle?

How did you provide Metro the Visible's account number, pin, and address? I don't remember doing a pin when ordered a plan from Visible.
The pin is generated when you request a port out on the account in the app.

Lol, you're doing it wrong. If you wait a year to get it unlocked.
