The GV will initially show ok but then not go through.
People have been using $5 Visible lines ($25 - $20 referral code for first month).

Yes, it will show Verizon. You need phone number, account number, port-out PIN and ZIP. Text FOUR to 611611 and the four digits should match the last four of your phone IMEI/Account number (15-digit). The ZIP code is the one you entered when you activated the phone (for a new number, or you can check it by logging into your account on a browser). Text NTP when you're ready to buy iP13/port-out to get your 4-digit PIN.

Do I have to wait a certain amount of time before I can buy through Metro again? I bought a similar deal last fall (for the iPhone 12), then just didn't renew the monthly plan.

EDIT: I guess Metro doesn't have much of a time limit between when letting your account expire and placing new orders because I just placed an order for this ip13 and it's only been about 3-4 months since I let my previous metro plan expire. Also, I placed the order just minutes after creating a visible account and porting that new visible number over to metro.

Quote from Hawaiiana :
What's the catch?
The catch is that Metro phones are locked to Metro for a year.

People may be interested in this deal to either trade the phone in with Apple for a gift card/trade-in credit toward another purchase, or to Best Buy for a gift card credit/credit toward a purchase.

Or, some choose to trade this phone in for a carrier (e.g., Verizon, T-Mobile, ATT) deal on a new phone.

And, some people might use the phone as a phone for a month, then as a wifi device during the rest of the year's time as they wait for the unlock. This is probably less common though.

Have you ever tried Ultra Mobile or Mint on a Metro-locked phone? Thanks in advance.

What's going on with the SD comments system? Comments no longer appear instantly—I have to wait hours to see them. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Samsung A9+ data point - mine just shipped for $20. So if you get the iPhone 13, be sure to grab the A9+ for $20 as well.

I am receiving and trading in my phone's today for the iPhone 16 deal at T-Mobile. Do I need to activate the metro iPhone 13 for any reason? It's mine for the $75 I already paid correct? No further action needed?

Friendly reminder:

Referrals are only allowed from staff not from the community who built and supports the website. The community helping other fellow members is frowned upon at all times unless they are making money off of you!

That said some of these metro deals are nice, used to be super easy to do port ins and get the deals. Visible and ATT numbers are prob easiest to get and port.

This message will self destruct shortly after posting as the Truth is flamed and frowned upon!

I was able to call their customer support number 888-8-METRO-8 and place the order. CSR was helpful and it was not too painful.
Got the order confirmation email right away. Total was $75 + $5 (Visible SIM). Thanks for all the help.

So my phone arrived.. I was going to wait until the 1st when my current total wireless expires.. but now I'm eager to order a second line and tablet..
I'm thinking I should go ahead and switch now and sacrifice the remaining days since I'll be getting another month of service anyway that I won't need.. better to sacrifice the current time left than Risk missing the deal..
