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)

Yes, if you are trading it to use the credit in Apple store.

For us, it is for upgrading our phones and keep them as spares to get new 15 or 16 with these trade in. For that, 12 works the best as its the lowest phone model with the highest credit ($830 on Go5G+ or Go5G Next with T-Mo). Hoping that's at least until next version comes. We will then move to 13 as the base for such deals for future upgrades.

I wish this was the 14 plus. Would make it worth keeping for a year or two

Can you transfer to another metro account prior to year end?
You can transfer a lot faster. All you have to do is switch the IMEI from the iPhone 14 you ordered to a different phone after activating your service, and then you are able to use the iPhone 14 on the other Metro account.

...

If you are able to manage an Insider discount (20% lifetime), 3-line Go5G+ is $120/month and then you add BOGOs as they come along to bring the average down. Older plans with kickbacks are good for the monthly costs but phone prices are discounted only by 25-30% for trade in. There was a good deal just recently for new lines for such old plans. But they have been quite rare. ....
nice indeed.
sadly i have none of those. was too late. was sprint customer while all those things were happening.
as u said, dont think we will see those types of deals again.
while i like the total i am paying.
im a little bummed that my plan will not qualify for any phone promotions.

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.
Yes, it's always possible to use a locked T-Mobile phone on Metro (barring some financed phones), but going the other way (a locked Metro phone, wanting to use on T-Mobile) is not possible.

"Sorry to keep you waiting
Sorry, your request cannot be completed at this time. For additional assistance, find a store near you"

Just tried to port a visible number over and getting this message. Anyone else getting this message?

Just an FYI, iPhone 14 doesn't have a SIM card tray unlike the iPhone 13 and below. I was thinking of buying this as a burner phone in South America.

Yes. activation requires downloading the visible app onto the device.
Once you activate you will be able to request the port out info in the app or in your account menu on desktop (requires receiving one time code on new line)
