I am hoping that the free tablet becomes available again in the month for me to order one as I just activated this phone.
Besides the obvious junk apps like games, is it that the AppSelector, Device Manager and metroZone apps should be disabled and Mobile Services Manager should be uninstalled? There's also a Mobile Service app, but this one cannot be disabled or uninstalled.
When I go to Settings > About phone > Device details > Network Lock, it says the status is Locked with the following details:
But I think the statement "Device must be used on this phone number for 180 days." is inaccurate. The unlock requirement should really be waiting 365 days after activation.
Right. That is my question.
How are you checking the unlock status?

I had a feeling. Thanks for confirming
This is from experience of having a device older than 180 days and still locked.

You need to have a spare compatible phone to do this.
1. Activate the new phone first.
2. Swap the IMEI with a spare phone.
3. Now Moto stylus 2025 is free to swap with your old phone.
if you can respond to the questions for oldNbroke, it will provide more clarity
1. You started the phone after inserting Metro SIM on startup after first time
2. You started the phone after inserting postpaid T-Mobile SIM on startup after first time (Metro SIM not inserted at all so far)
3. You started the phone after inserting prepaid T-Mobile SIM on startup after first time (Metro SIM not inserted at all so far)
4. After 1 you inserted postpaid T-Mobile SIM
5. After 1 you inserted prepaid T-Mobile SIM
6. What is the plan name the T-Mobile SIM is on?
7. Do you have another network SIM to test like AT&T?
Thank You lou2004 - what plan was it? Is it a Go5G+ or Magenta Max or an Amplified version etc?

Nice. We would love some more detailed datapoints. In the hopes of saving you time, you can just write in the numbers below:
1. You started the phone after inserting Metro SIM on startup after first time
2. You started the phone after inserting postpaid T-Mobile SIM on startup after first time (Metro SIM not inserted at all so far)
3. You started the phone after inserting prepaid T-Mobile SIM on startup after first time (Metro SIM not inserted at all so far)
4. After 1 you inserted postpaid T-Mobile SIM
5. After 1 you inserted prepaid T-Mobile SIM
6. What is the plan name the T-Mobile SIM is on?

so 13 pages and no one's gotten this phone yet to test if it being locked to metro would still work with a postpaid T-Mobile sim in it?
There's some confusion. There are 2 explicit datapoints below that I will try and clarify before mine comes in next week

I'm a T-Mobile customer. This phone works on T-Mobile so I don't really care about unlock yet.

I just tested with my T-Mobile postpaid sim. It's not working. It shows emergency call only on top.

I received my phone today, and the phone works with my Tmobile sim card.

Then I activate the Metro simcard via their website and received a new number. My T mobile simcard is the Business Tablet internet only for $10.
I just tried with Tmobile sim card and it's not working anymore, I guess the activation caused it.
I also tried resetting to factory setting and it is the same, Tmobile simcard isn't working anymore.
But something interesting pop up on the Device Unlock, I took a picture.
Clicking on the Activate Temporary Unlock, required internet, so I turned on WiFi, it doesn't do anything.
So anyone with Tmobile sim card can try it before activating Metro service.
