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

I got this promotion 2 days ago, I had to call 5 different stores around my area, all them were charging $400 - $500 price out of the door. Only on one I was able to get $300. They asked me for my ID and I had to verify myself with a selfie scanner, just like the website. FYI

Success for third 16e order! For those having trouble getting the third order to go through try this: place the order on the first iPhone you received from Metro with wifi turned off. In a long buried thread from several years ago many found this to be successful.

Looks like 3. I did 2, will try another tomorrow.
You're lucky!
Metro T-mobile honors the 2 purchases on the Iphone 16e, so I did purchase a second 16e at $99 with porting a number by calling them. They also charged $30 instead of $55 for the plan for it is a second line discount.

Need some help with this. I ordered one of these, but it never got activated because I ordered it during the 72 hour extension and it shipped after.

What are my options here? Can this phone still be activated on other Metro accounts? If it activates, will the 365 day timer start for unlocking?

Or is it basically just a Wi-Fi device now?

Unless you want to hold on to it as a trade in call metro and see if they'll reactivate it for a month. Of course you would have to pay for that.

I'm hoping once the 17e gets released the 16e trade in value will be close to $300. I've got 3 and the total with tax was less than $440.
