Or the workaround is to port in a cheaply sourced # for this deal. Then after you receive the phone and activate it on line #1, you login to your account and swap devices for the line to any spare phone you have.
Then port in your real number on the $25 BYOP metro plan (Line #2) with any spare phone you have. Once you activate the $25 BYOP plan login and swap devices for the line to your new iPhone.

Compared to the Boost Mobile deal (pay 100% of phone today, get 12 mo of $25 monthly service credits), get this if:
1. You want an immediate $300 off the device cost (available on iPhone 17, Air, 17 Pro/Max)
2. You're ok being locked to Metro for 6 months paying $50/mo vs 2 days locked to Boost.
3. You really want T-Mobile Tuesdays and 100GB of Google One
4. You actually need 50GB of high-speed data vs 30GB per month on the Boost base unl plan
5. You need hotspot (can be purchased as an addon on the Boost base plan for $10/mo, actually technically better than Metro since it's not limited to 8GB out of your bucket)
And also looking through the other phones, the S25 is $249 and the S25fe is $99.
If what I'm seeing is correct, the real deal should be the iPhone 14 for $99.

Any idea how long before they'll allow to unlock?
Only really worth it if you have an extra number to port in and then port your regular number to use it on the $25 plan for a year.
This is the way. I just have to wait 2 months

Why do you have to wait a year? Wouldn't it just be the month you're required to pay up front?

If you're not a Metro customer and/or don't have a use for the $25 plan, there's no deal to be had here (and in most cases your best play if you want the current gen device in that situation is to just buy unlocked directly from Apple).
Also worth keeping in mind that the Metro $25 plan does not include hotspot access (nor can it be added to that plan for a fee and there are no known workarounds to enable it on iPhones) which is a deal breaker for some people.
