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.

  • The deal can avoid a port-in requirement at checkout time, which simplifies activation for new lines.

  • The phone uses an eSIM, and auto-unlock can work after the one-year wait when the eSIM is not erased early.

  • The device can be used on Wi-Fi or hotspot even while waiting for unlock, which supports secondary or media use.

  • Android update support is described as lasting multiple years, including eligibility for Android 16 and security updates through 2028.

  • Checkout can fail or the cart can show the phone at full price, including greyed-out continue buttons and missing the $65 plan discount.

  • The deal can go out of stock quickly or show as unavailable online, requiring repeated checking or store attempts.

  • Unlocking guidance is inconsistent, with many reports of server communication errors and difficulty reaching the permanent unlock option.

  • Folding-phone durability concerns include screen protector cracking or peeling near the hinge and reports of hinge-related screen failures.

What does it mean when it doesn't discount the razr 24 down to $0, keeping it at $550?

It shows me $0 option at the start, lets me add to the cart but then irregardless of which plan I choose, shows me the full phone price in the cart
Remove from cart and start over. You have to choose the $65 plan or it'll charge full price.

I'm currently at 4 lines with a mix of phones and tablets all bought in the last 3 weeks
You might be maxed out. I think metro only gives you discounted prices for a maximum of 4 devices at one time. I dont know if you can port out a number to get a new spot to get discounts again, maybe someone can chime in that knows more than me.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

They only offer service discount on 2 lines now. Line 1 full price, Line 2 and 3 are discounted, Line 4 is back to normal rate.

It is an eSim. Do not erase it before auto unlock, otherwise it will never unlock. Auto unlock works fine when connected to WiFi after one year wait.
I had a Moto phone from Metro that was with esim activation, it was activated online but I didn't actually download metro eSIM to the phone. Will it get unlocked in a year?

forgive my stupidity but I know this is for Metro but can I just buy this and then cancel after one month and then use it on T-Mobile's Network?
I wanted to know the answer to this question too but no one with the knowledge answered yet. So, I asked ChatGPT and this is what it said:
-------------------
🔓 2️⃣ Unlocking & network restriction
  • Metro by T-Mobile locks the phone to their network for 12 months.
  • During that time, the phone can only use T-Mobile-network SIMs, including Metro and T-Mobile itself.
✅ Good news:
Because T-Mobile and Metro share the same network and SIM compatibility, your T-Mobile pSIM will work fine right away — no unlock required.
You'll still be locked to the T-Mobile network (so no AT&T, Verizon, etc.), but for your own T-Mobile pSIM, it's totally okay.
------------------
My phone is estimated to arrive Thursday (although I selected free 2-3 delivery). I will see if it will work. It would be great if works like ChatGPT said. If not, I will have to wait 2 months to unlock the Moto G Stylus 5G 2024 from Total Wireless. I just need a newer phone to upgrade from my old iPhone 7 Yes, there are still people with older phone. In fact, I saw someone at the farmer market yesterday with an even older phone than mine. I couldn't believe my eyes that someone still used an iPhone even older than mine.
From my experience T-mobile and Metro phones are interchangeable on the same network unless they're unlocked. There have been a few exceptions like the S23FE I think. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
Be careful with ChatGPT because I asked something similar and they gave me a totally different answer.

I don't get it - so, after 1 month of service I simply not pay them and wait another 11 months to unlock? Will it unlock automatically or will I need to call/write them?
my past purchases have unlocked by themselves.

With # port you can get iPhone 14 for $99 from Metro. It may be a better update because you do not have to leave Apple OS.

Metro traditionally requires you to make a call and/or texts on their network for it to count as active and to qualify for unlock after a period of time. That was when most phones came with a physical sim. But a lot of phones are e-sim activated now so that's a good question
