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.

If you've got $100 for this, this is a better trade in for Apple than the iPhone 13 deal

correct, but at 150-160, the 13 is less than 60 and trade in for 180.

Actually it may not be better because 16e has about $9 in taxes, so you really only get $6 more from the 16e when you consider cost + the trade in value. Plus you are spending $100+ for the phone to get that $6

You might be right but the iPhone 13 wasn't free when this 16e deal came out.

I keep getting "Sorry, we couldn't reserve your number.
We're weren't able to connect with your carrier to get your number reserved. Please continue with a new number, or visit a store to complete your number transfer. Promotions may vary in-store."

me too. You have the Stuck Port-in, call in to release it, hopefully. Stuck port-in: using the # many times with different order inputs.

You mean the phone should not be used (beside WiFi) with any Metro plan in a year if I want it unlocked?

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
Does metro do this?

Can someone clarify that after 30 days we don't pay and the line gets cut off and the phone should unlock after 1 year right? I don't care about the gift card. Just going to use it on wifi.
