Cool. Nice. So no texting for unlock and no calling any customer support

Phone is automatic unlock. Also when I bought it 611611 still work and when I text unlock it provide me with the unlock date. I don't think 611611 work anymore. So far they haven't change their policy, I think people who have to call probably have an android phone and need to request unlock code thru customer services.

That means they will need to buy metro service for a year and if it cost $50 a month that's another $600 dollars a year versus keeping their current service plan and getting an unlocked phone in 2 months vs having to stay with metro for a year .

Its no longer work. 2 months ago you can text Unlock to 611611 and it will state your automatic unlock date. But they just shut it down.

Your post gave me the idea to check my iPhone 12 I had purchased back in September. Sure enough it is now unlocked. Thanks for the heads up!

Nice. I go to Mexico 2x a year as I have a place there and an unlocked phone is the best way to keep in touch. Even though I use a Cricket sim with At&t's excellent 5G coverage in many places, there are times when I need a Telcel sim and for whatever reasons, an iPhone never needs to have the APN or other settings changed manually since it's automatic. Android probably does it too, not sure.

I would greatly appreciate some help/guidance. We've had a Cricket family plan for years. My wife urgently needs a replacement for her iPhone XR (it is overheating), and if we were to buy the iPhone 13 as a phone upgrade, Cricket would charge $499.

I would like to take advantage of either the Cricket $29.99 deal or the TW $149 deal. But she needs to keep her existing number. Could someone walk me through the process of taking advantage of one of these deals under these circumstances? TIA

As of when? Policy on their unlock page still shows 60 days from activation you can unlock for verizon network phones.

Could someone guide me through the process of porting my Google Voice number to Total Wireless online? I attempted to activate a new line, but Google Voice isn't listed among the current providers. Their customer service hasn't been very helpful either.
I got my TW about a week ago. I bought a number for 5 bucks from numberbarn.com port took 2 hours to TW. Get the number first and then buy the phone.

Policy remains the same , 60 days for automatic unlock. The one they shut down is services to response with the unlock date when you text " UNLOCK " to 611611.
