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

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.
$300? I was thinking $250 > was ideal max. 300 would be amazing. I already have several cards.

iphone is still trying to catch up to android from 2015
90hz released around 2019 for Android. So it's odd.

When I tried for a 4th it demanded the $65 plan or else it charged full price.
same for me. tried with s25fe, also requires the $65 plan to get promo price. I guess there's a limit on how many $30 plans you can get?

I've never traded into Apple before. I was just hoping and guessing for close to $300. Best buy is at $200 since this deal was posted but that seems a bit low.

Just ordered one, thanks.
Just a word of caution. GV numbers can take weeks to port in. You will know the port is not complete because the number remains in your GV account and calls to your Metro number are intercepted by GV. Do not delete the GV number. You can call the Metro porting department and they'll take care of it in 10 minutes. Call 800-518-7529 and tell them the line you're having difficulty porting and your number is a land line.

Just got my phone delivered and incoming calls are not working, goes straight to voicemail, do you have the porting department direct number by any chance?

I Have been with the porting department for almost an hour and they can't fix the incoming calls, did the agent do something especifically to make it work when you called?

The person who answered the phone escalated it to a supervisor. Put me on hold for 5 minutes and it was done. Tell them "it's a land line" and they'll get it done.

deal still seems live and i was able to check out using a google voice port for $3. Hopefully everything works. It will be for my kids a year from now so I'll pay for 1 month of service and stick it in a drawer for a year.

May I ask what Zip Code you used when putting in the GV port? Is it your own or Google's? Thanks.

I was able to successfully fully port the gv number after a 5 min call. If they sound like they don't know what to do just keep calling back till you get someone competent.
