Will this work on other T-Mobile MVNOs while it's still locked? E.g., Mint mobile?
AFAIK No. Typically if a sim locked metro device worked with another carrier out of the box its been limited to only post paid t-mobile. The two recent devices that I'm aware of are the Metro Moto Edge 2024 and the Metro Samsung Tab A9+, and before that the metro s23.
If you would like to continue to use this device prior to it unlocking the best route is to untie the device from its metro account created when paying the first month of flex plus ($75) plan by either 'switching devices' or porting the # out to a cheap service. Otherwise the device will remained tied to the original metro count until the grace period, 30 days after service ended, expires. Then you can use it on the $25/month bring your own device plan with metro or use on an existing plan.

Interesting this device and the iPhone 14 both available from Metro for $100 give very different trade-in values at Xfinity mobile when trading for s25 ultra. IPhone 14 gives 1,000 trade in value this phone s24 Fe only gives 400 trade-in value so I'm getting iPhone 14 for trade to Xfinity mobile so I only pay $300 out of pocket on top of trade. Xfinity mobile promotion says Unlimited required for s25 Ultra trade but check out lets me choose by the gig option

too much trouble for an S24FE and metro's plans are expensive too.
It's better to get the Cricket deal which would allow the phone to be unlocked in 6 months.
I'm not going to spend 175 and leave the phone in the closet for 365 days.

With cricket deal you cannot leave in closet You have to have active service for 6 months

6 months of active service costs more than 12 months of in the closet.

visible $25 plan - $20 referral code (use google can't post here) = $5 first month. eSim activation can be done within 20-30 minutes or order physical sim but will take 4-5 days to arrive. Once setup login to visible app, there is an option to request port out info. You will then receive text message on phone with all the info you need to complete the port over to metro.

My Moto edge and Galaxy a35 unlocked in 6 months when it was supposed to be 1yr . You only pay one time of $175 and leave it in a drawer for 6 months . Do you even know what you're talking about? You don't have to pay after 1 month. Lol
Just checked and my Edge from July can be unlocked!!! Thanks so much, I would've never checked otherwise.

It is YMMV but to me Cricket deal works better.
I'm already paying visible $25 a month so my six months costs would be $150.
If I get Cricket with S24FE I will do the following:
1. Port out from Visible
2. 99+120 and then downgrade to $30 plan. (I rarely use more than 5GB/month anyway)
Total costs=99+120+30x4=339 for 6 months
3. Port back to Visible back to $25/month
So total costs would be $339-$150=$189 and I will have the phone unlocked free and clear by 6 months instead of 1 year.
Yes it does cost $14 more but I think it's worth it for not having the phone locked for 365 days.

Technically a better plan is to get the locked phone and trade-up with Samsung or Best Buy.
In that case maybe going with Metro would be a bit better. (175 vs 219)
The $175 for unlocked S24 FE after 365 days cost more than $175 because you have to factor into the costs of paying for another provider.
On top of that the value of S24FE would drop significantly after 1 year. You might as well sell the locked phone on eBay for more money back.

I'm fairly certain Xfinity mobile will trade locked phones so that's not an issue for me

No. The phone you purchase on Xfinity will be locked for 2 years until 24 monthly payments are made.
I've had Xfinity mobile for years, but that's why I dont do their deals. They lock the phones to the network until 24 monthly bill credits.

Yes the s25 ultra I get will be locked to Xfinity mobile for 2 years unfortunately. Such a good deal for under $500 though which includes the cost of this iPhone 14 for trade though I'll bite. Hopefully it works with by the gig plan as my shopping cart indicates it will

I have Xfinity by the Gig option as well. Even if you checkout the S25 ultra - is it really useful since it's locked to the Xfinity network for 2 years and 24 monthly bill credits? That would make the phone just useful for By-the Gig data < 1 GB.
