The Razr 2024 deal is mainly attractive as a cheap way to get a foldable phone and, for some units, a path to Metro or T Mobile unlock. The phone includes a preinstalled screen protector, ships without a signature requirement, and can be activated with eSIM or a physical SIM. The biggest draw is the low first month price, with extra lines sometimes dropping to $30 or $35. The main catch is unlock uncertainty, since success appears tied to Android 14 and older security patches, while Android 15 or later updates often trigger server errors or a 180 day lock message. Screen durability and fold damage also remain a concern, making it a tempting but risky pickup.

Common Questions (6)

  • Some Android 14 units on older builds can be unlocked with the XDA/Moto unlock method, especially Nov 2024 builds and some Jan 2025 builds. Android 15 and later security updates commonly trigger SERVER_NOT_REACHABLE or 180-day messages, and March 2025 updates are repeatedly flagged as a cutoff.

  • The first phone is full price, and additional lines can drop to $35 or similar discounted pricing after the first activation. The deal appears to top out around three phones for many accounts, and the discounted add-a-line option may disappear on a fourth order.

  • The current Metro unlock requirement is one full year from activation, not one month. The phone can still be used on Metro after activation, but permanent network unlock is tied to the 365-day rule unless a software unlock method works on an eligible build.

  • A locked Metro razr generally will not work with a T-Mobile SIM before unlock; it stays Metro-only until it is permanently unlocked. After a successful permanent unlock, it can be used with T-Mobile service and other carriers.

  • Activation can be started from the shipping email link or the Metro order-status page using the order number, and the site will show the phone number. If the verification PIN does not arrive, sending a text from the new phone first can make the code deliver; some activations also require a store visit when PIN verification fails.

  • Some units arrive without a physical SIM and are set up with eSIM instead. The phone also ships with a pre-installed screen protector, and removing it or replacing it can void the warranty.

I was able to log in and add a line for $35 free 2024 Razr a day after activating my first order, tried again an hour later but won't let me, I assume I need to get my second order activated first before ordering again

Yes. You have to activate the second phone then you can try to order more.

So just a recap i only need one month and it will unlock after 12 months after paying one service? How do i turn off the auto pay?
The autopay is OFF by default. Just don't pay for the second month. Wait for another 11 months and the phone should unlock.

Go to app settings, click on the 3 dots upper right corner and click on show system apps, scroll down to Unlock app, clear data, and it should reset the Unlock/ try permanent unlock/ temporary unlock
I completely forgot about that, I even had to do it before. Didn't work, though, even after reboot.
Just trying to get it to unlock again prompted it to pull the March security update. I'm getting ready to give up.

Mine arrive yesterday and it was Nov 24 security patched.
I am not sure because I already activated the eSIM, the Moto Unlock tool was not working.
Error message said something cannot connect the server.
Performed factory reset including eSIM erase(forgot to turn off auto update so already security patch applied).
Now my phone is A14 March 2025 security patch.
The Mto Unlock tool now shows "180 days" message and no more able to click "try unlock"
Bummer.
I Have the same issue

Hello,
I'm a new Metro customer.
I followed all the steps for the online activation, got my phone number but I was unable to complete the activation process because, for some reason, I'm not receiving the verification Pin on my new phone and though impossible to login.
Spent 1h with a useless CS, they said you have to go to store to bypass the Pin verification.
My question is:
Did you get the verification Pin txt on your new phone to complete the activation process? am I doing something wrong?
FYI, the phone shows Network bars, 5G and Metro Logo, but I'm unable to make or receive calls/text, I'm getting a message to call CS for activation.
Thx

Try to send a text message to yourself or someone else using the new phone and make sure it's delivered. Then try to resend a verification code. I encountered the same issue but that step fixed it. Good luck!

Can anyone outline all steps with updated details for permanent unlock from the time the phone is received.
Do I need to activate it online as soon as I get the phone before turning on? Or turn on and activate eSIM and then activate the plan?

I read on other posts that do not activate eSIM or connect to wifi. There is another way to unlock thru bootloader. Is that true?
