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
Single Core: 2242
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)

Others may have already mentioned, you get 12 to dispose off right away for trade in. We got 6 total and 3 already traded in with T-Mo and three more to go.

Unless you plan to use with Metro for a year to unlock, 13 or 14 is NOT a hot deal for any other purposes.

For 6 separate lines?

Your account is blocked from new orders. How many iPhones have you gotten?
1 Nord, 2 iPhone, 3 or 4 Samsung, 5 Moto and 1 Samsung 9tab tablet within a year or so. Just the usual average Joe.

And no, I don't sell phones, just use these cheap phones for future trades.

I guess I need an hobby now. Thumbsup

Metro asks for Visible's account number and pin (and also address I believe). How did you provide those info? I don't recall setting up a pin when ordered a Visible plan.
You need to authorize the port-out on your Visible account. Visible will provide you a PIN via email. You need the PIN, your account number, and the phone number to provide to Metro. Shouldn't need any other details.

Not separate account but we have 12 lines with T-Mo in our account.

Not sure if you mean separate lines with Metro - each additional line is $35 with Metro and can have up to 5-lines. Helps average out your cost.

Check the Reddit forum. For those who started out 4-5 years ago and piled on free lines, it is averaging out well. I no longer see single free lines in the past couple of years. They have all been BOGOs. T-Mo had a promo until this Thursday and started another on Friday.

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.

Shared my 4+ year activities here - https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/...obile_had/

Do you have link for this by chance, I'm currently stuck on Magento ( with insider %) with 2 paid and 2 free paying 115 per month ...and no major upgrade deals 😔

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank smithdeal2014

In addition to 6GB ram , iPhone 14 also use Qualcomm x65 modem versus x60 modem in iPhone 13. The Qualcomm X65 modem is significantly faster than the X60 modem. I think these 2 alone worth the $50 difference.

Although I'm not taking advantage of this deal, people who are interested in new Samsung phones or future Pixel phones should take advantage of this deal. iPhone trade-in values are always higher especially during pre-order phase. I was able to get 2 Pixel 9s and a Pixel 9 Pro for free by tradeing in iPhone 12 & 12pro respectively. And was given $100 & $200 bestbuy giftcards with them. GC amount offset my purchase of iPhone 12s and 12pro making the entier 3 phones (roughly $2600 retail value) purchase for free.
