Just a heads up. When entering personal info on order, do not capitalize your first or last name. I read about this from another thread and it seems to work at keeping their security system from raising false security flags. Also used chrome incognito and VPN. Order went thru without a hitch.

I want to remind everyone that there is no need to port in a number for this deal. Slickdeals staff replaced my original post with their own that states a port is required. SD staff is wrong on this.

Community Reviews

This Metro Razr 2024 deal is mainly about a cheap foldable with a one year Metro lock and eSIM activation. The strongest upside is the price, with multiple orders going through around $65 or even $35 for a second line, and the phone can be used on Wi Fi or as a secondary device while waiting. Community testing also points to a possible unlock path on some Android 14 units, especially older November 2024 builds. The main catches are frequent stock and checkout failures, plus many reports that newer Android 15 or March 2025 units stay locked or hit server errors. A good fit if you are comfortable with the wait and the activation hassle.

Common Questions (6)

  • Some units accepted a T-Mobile SIM and worked immediately or for a few days, but many others showed a network-locked message or stopped working. The safest expectation is that it remains Metro-locked until the unlock process or the 1-year timer completes.

    CyanWingZaidKfyah_kingR2X

  • Sometimes, but only on certain software builds, mainly Android 14 units with older security patches. Many Android 15 or March 2025-update phones hit server errors or never show the permanent-unlock option, while older A14 builds were reported to unlock successfully.

  • Mint SIMs were reported not to work out of the box, and several T-Mobile SIMs also failed. A few specific SIMs from T-Mobile or other carriers did work for some users, but that behavior was inconsistent and not something to count on.

  • No port-in is required for this deal as posted, and several shoppers were able to order with a new number. The listing terms were later changed in the thread, so the requirement may vary by current checkout flow.

  • It is reported to auto-unlock about 365 days after activation. Do not erase the eSIM before the unlock completes; after it unlocks, you can confirm in settings and then remove the eSIM if you want.

  • No ongoing commitment beyond the first month was reported. The service is prepaid, so if you do not pay the next month the Metro line ends, and autopay is off by default unless you enable it.

Personal experience, gave it to my brother-in-law and told him not to erase the eSim. He decided to erase it and now the phone will not unlock even after one year.You can also ask AI if you want.
Thanks for the personal info! If I port out the number before 1 month, will it remove the esim automatically?

Thank you. I remember when they sent SIM cards in small plastic bags and everyone on these forums was adamant that the original SIM had to be in the phone for it to be unlocked after the waiting period. I suppose they could be changing these policies on a whim or each phone could have a different requirement.

details.
what phone?
when purchased?

also, historically, there have been phones from metro that have not unlocked.
even when the 180 days was in affect

i dont think in this situation, u can establish a cause & effect link.
there could have been many other reasons that phone didn't unlock.

also we have a situation where the phone did in fact UL

keeping the original sim was always a "best practice" until confirmed unlock.
never a requirement.

in ay event...with many phones activated by esim only....

its too early with out any meaningful data to unequivocally conclude that removing a esim will result in a phone that WILL NOT unlock

It's coming tomorrow, now..
Same, mine is supposed to come today, will try my T-Mobile sim and see what happens.

Planning on doing this order of operations if anyone wants to try something different:

Open phone
Set up Metro service via Esim
Maintain Esim / Metro Service
Insert T-mobile sim
Try to have 2x concurrent service, see if T-mobile plays nice.

If not wife has a Mint Mobile sim, will give that a shot also, report back.

I'll drop a new comment when I have results!

You can have multiple eSIMs installed on the phone but only 1 active at a time. Disable but don't delete the old eSIM.
So...swapping device from original $65 plan and move to a $25 plan would NOT remove the old eSIM, is what you are saying. Is my understanding correct?

I already tried this, unfortunately it didn't work with a T-Mobile sim. Looks like the phone is locked for only Metro. Few others have had same result.

I ordered two Razr phones on Monday. One was shipped out yesterday with tracking. The other one is still at Order Received.

UPDATE: The second Razr just shipped out today with tracking.

Two different Metro accounts ($65 + $65). I will try to add more free devices to those accounts. I think the monthly service plan gets reduced by 50%.

Agreed, does not work with my physical T-mobile sim card, says that it cannot connect to the network... Guess I'm waiting a year to use this phone... Womp!
