I was able to get a Red Pocket e-SIM number for $7.78 and successfully ported it in to Metro. Plus Metro total of $165.24. All in with eSIM port-in and Metro is $173.02. Now we wait for it to unlock lol

Phone unlocking in one year is a deal-breaker.

I assume I only need to pay the first month's $55 and do not need to commit to three recurring monthly payments—am I correct?
==============

  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.

Anyone add any other lines after hitting the 2 iPhone 16e cap? I can't add anything more phones, watches, or tablet lines. Ordering through calling CS also failed.

If you need a port-in number, I have extra numbers for AGC trade. I confirmed they worked with the $500 port in discount for 16e. PM me. All have been ported by SDers.

Has anyone had any luck downgrading their plan to the $25 unlimited plan after getting the 16e deal?

Option-2:
Port in and pay $99.99 for the phone + $55 for 1 month + $50X2 for next two months with autopay - $100 Virtual Prepaid Master Card = $154.99. No further recharges needed. Phone unlocks in 1 year

Technically, the price to pay is the same for both options with getting additional 2 months of service in option 2 in return for $100 virtual prepaid master card. The other difference might be additional taxes ... YMMV
can someone explain how this works - it seems like you would need to pay for the 4th month in order to get the $100 virtual prepaid card? because you dont get the rebate automatically ... you need to wait for a text with a link to submit for the $100 card

Answer to my question I asked here earlier. For one month i was able to order 16e, samsung watch, 16e, denied for any phone, samsung tablet, denied for any phone and samung watch (didnt try one more tablet though), and after about 2 weeks in the last day of my billing cycle my order for iphone 13 passed through. Dont know why, but passed. I am on 72 hour extension. Probaly will try to order one more, because i've already got activation link, but dont beliece it will work😅 But i am pretty happy with what i got already.
