*edit: I see others mentioning they used their own zip when asked.
I'm going to try the GV but still deciding on which to get. The 13 or the 16e.
The future proofing for the 16e is better. It has a much better systems of radios for cell service. Downside is the screen is dimmer and the camera is limited. You do not have a wide angle and it loses clarity if you zoom in. The 13 will only have a couple more years of software updates.

Unlock eligibility requirements
We unlock mobile devices that meet the following eligibility criteria free of charge:
The device must be purchased from Metro by T-Mobile.
The device must not be reported as lost, stolen or blocked.
Three hundred sixty-five (365) days must have passed since the device's activation date.
Edit: I also was just able to use Google voice number, that I just got, paid $3 to unlock and set up pin and submitted to transfer number using my local zip code and it worked fine. Waiting for my phone to be shipped. Very easy process.
Would you happen to know if the tablet and/or the watch would be locked as well to Metro and require 365 days to be unlocked?

EDIT: AVOID Lyca ! Lyca tries to charge the payment method even after the customer had already ported out and ended their service. If, only use a one time virtual credit card number.
Today when the first line expired as I never wanted to stay more than 1 month, just to get the phone and wait for the next 11 months. The second line, which still has 3 more weeks, is suspended by Metro asking me to pay for the first line. Damn you Metro...🤣 those are two different lines.

I have 2 iphone 16e. Not sure if we just complete payment til the end of the 3rd month service on both lines and Metro would send us $200 giftcard, or we have to be on the 4th month.
