I have it, not a big fan of the curved screen and speaker volume is on the tiny side. Other than that, all good.

This phone can be sold for $140 on sellcell (locked version), so if you just want to experience metro for free (they have free Amazon prime and T-Mobile's Tuesday perk), you can just grab one and sell it. tbh it's not a smooth phone, I've experienced it and sold it. Also metro now has free tablet with added tablet line for $20

If you want it unlocked definitely not worth it, MetroPCS has double the time from Cricket, which is 365 days, Cricket 6 months FYI. And Verizon and tracphones companies 60 days. However in my area lot of people already using MetroPCS and they love it, you can just buy phone and swap the service. Moto Edge is one of the best phone you can get from prepaid carriers at this price. My experience with the edge 2024 was better than Pixel 9. Edge feels faster.

metro doesn't need active service to unlock, cricket needs 6 consecutive months?

they recently fully locked down moto phones, can't even use as WiFi only device w/o active cricket service. moto and their own brand for now, not sure when will roll out to Samsung

That's too bad. My current "mp3 player" is an unactivated Moto G Pure that cost $35 at RiteAid after all discounts, coupons, etc. I actually run Libby on it a lot to play audiobooks. I would guess every company will lock down every new phone very soon.

The checkout screen is asking for a phone number and an email address. Any risk they will try to port that number?

The reviews say the processor is very slow and laggy on this. I think the Stylus is the better deal.

Pulling trigger on this.
My daughter has a Samsung A15 "budget phone" so this thing should run circles around her old phone. She can wait 30 days. The fact it's locked for a year isn't an issue for us (I assume) since "locked" appears to include all MVNOs that use T-Mobile towers. We've had good luck in the past getting cheap phones that were locked to certain MVNOs (her current is from Total) and switching to a different one that still uses T-Mobile towers.
