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.

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

    aubrechonaubrechonwikipost

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

    DealMayhemDealMayhemDealMayhem

  • 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.

Try turning off esim data before clicking the open metro unlock app, if you don't see the permanent unlock button click the Reset Metro App and try opening the metro unlock app again. Keep Reseting app if you keep getting that 180day Metro. Also try turning off all internet wifi + esim, but you should still have the VPN logo gnirehtet.
Thanks, shortyman24! Finally, this worked and my phone is fully unlocked. I followed your advice and turned off pretty much everything, and then used the Moto unlock tool and then "kept resetting app" multiple times! And then somehow "try permanent unlock" link just appeared and that was when it prompted me to turn on wifi and so I did and then it unlocked, wow...

Yes! Congratz Wink . I had that issue too where I had to reset multiple times for it to appear.

I did revise the steps to include this.

Quote from CyanWing View quoted comment :
The reason why the proxy unlock worked is you received a RAZR with Android 14. The proxy unlock app method works with any RAZR with Android 14 and security update prior to March 1st. Note the January 2025 manufacture date on the label. The majority of the inventory being sent by Metro is newer and shipped with Android 15. Once the phone has been on Android 15 at all manually downgrading to Android 14 does not work with the proxy unlock method either.
I was puzzled for a while, but your comment explains it all.worship

Did you have to download metro app from playstore or did you activate and it was downloaded through setup with metro esim first?

So what is your android security update? that's why Turn On Airplane Mode as soon as you turn on your phone, because it tries to push OS security updates and reboot phone automatically to auto apply them.

I was finally able to unlock one of the two I ordered. Thank you so much! Currently working on the second one. It didn't work on the first try, I had to be persistent but it paid off.
Which moto unlock app we need for this unlocking process?

Please I beg you to re-read instructions I even updated it recently and look at pictures to what I'm referring too.

I don't know what you are asking because all the stuff is named the same.

There is a moto.exe need for unlocking that's from XDA. In that metro.exe it has a "Open Metro unlock app" (unlock.apk or unlock app that's preinstalled on phone already).

Yo do not need to download anything in the phone, I recommend not setting up esim yet or wifi, because if you do it will auto-push or force install security update that will patch your free unlock.

When I booted phone without activating it and went through setup without wifi there is no Metro app. I think it downloads when phone provision a with eSIM. But I can just get apk transfer to to phone and install it that way.

4. Launch the Moto.exe tool from XDA, turn off the metro PCS esim Data and phone WiFi
On this step, are we disabling the downloaded Metro esim in "SIMS & mobile network" or just the mobile data setting?

I was able to follow your steps and see the Permanent Unlock button. But when I click it, it says "SERVER COMMUNICATION ERROR: ERROR CODE=200 MSG=SERVER_NO_CONTENT. Any pointers?

Read please. You need PC computer, the phone USB connected to PC, and the tool from XDA forums

Ah you can just have airplane mode on if you want. I heard from other users no wifi or data is needed since its already gonna bridge PC internet to your phone I think.
