Deal Details
Terms:

1) Join Metro on a current plan starting at the $50/mo. with AutoPay, $55 for first month plan or add a line to your existing Metro account.

2) Bring your number and verify your identity.

3) Your iPhone 16e (128GB) is $99.99 via discount. You'll need to pay any applicable sales tax.

4) Receive a virtual $100 Prepaid Mastercard for the cost of the device after 3 recurring monthly payments on the current $50/mo. with AutoPay, $55 for first month plan. You can get this deal on up to 2 lines.


OP:
This is for the black, 128gb iPhone 16e.

So basically, they'll reimburse you for the $100 you spend on the phone upfront ($99) by giving you a $100 Prepaid Mastercard. They send the prepaid mastercard to you AFTER your third month of service (and the entire service will cost you about $155 in total, so about $55, $50, and $50 again for each month) Then, you can stick the phone in a drawer for 9 more months (so 1 year in total) and voila, it's unlocked.

Btw, if you're porting in a new number, they don't accept Google voice, mint mobile, numberbarn, or textnow. They only accept numbers ported in from AT&T or Verizon. NO T-mobile!

I saw on the other threads that apparently, InifiMobile website had the $5 one-month plan that works. Make sure you use the Verizon number, and not the T-mobile one!

So, 99 + 55 + 50 + 50 = 254, and after the third month ends, receive 100 virtual prepaid card (not redeem into paid card)?

Yeah, virtual prepaid Mastercard. And it will expire in 6 months.

Why not just do 99+55 and call it a day?

For three months of un-needed service to role play the double life that'll never happen. Plus having the chance of the gift card never arriving?

But you're right, just cancel autopay that first month unless you're needing those extra 2 months of service.

Because the deal does not stipulate what happens if you only pay for one month of service. I'd rather not take that risk. Metro is not known for being an easy company to buy from. And anyways, the price is the same in the end.

Only thing that happens is your line gets suspended and eventually cancel if you don't pay after the first month. If you want to make it cancel quicker, just port out the line before the month is over and the account will close.

Read the terms , your account must be active when the card is issued. You probably have to pay the 4th month in order to get the $100 virtual prepaid card.
