I wouldn't call it worst phone of 2026, but it's definitely slow, it lags out of the box, however phone doesn't look cheap, it's a nice looking phone and the screen is beautiful, I'm waiting for Moto Edge 2026 hopefully they bring something good this year.

Can I get other phones on deal with this 6 months $120 deal?
Once 6 month deal ends, what will be the monthly price for the plan?

Here's how it works: Sales tax applies. You'll need to verify your name & address to sign up. A charge may apply if you received a discounted device and request rep assistance to move to a lower‑priced plan within 90 days. No charge applies when changing plans through the myMetro app. Qualifying port-in required. An activation charge of $25 may apply in-store. You can get up to 4 phone instant discount deals per account. This is a limited-time offer and, like everything else in this world, is subject to change. See Terms & Conditions (including arbitration provision) at MetrobyT-Mobile.com.
laugh out loud I like that little bit of philosophy in the small text disclaimer.

All these phones are free and allow you to take advantage of the $20/month for 6 months offer.

After the promo period, the cost for each month would be $40/month.

Can I pay for the month then wait the 11b for it to unlock? Does Metro charge for anything like that? I'm hoping to avail an iPhone deal from them but don't want to take a chance.

Porting from Helium to Metro will NOT work (most likely - both are on TMobile's network). In the past Google Voice has worked well.

I would hope so, since the S25 FE is over triple the price of the A17. (Unlocked, MSRP pricing, for comparison.)

One month of service would work, but you still have to wait 365 days after activation.

I have several phones from metro by mobile. If o lucky it unlock by itself after 1 yr. Most of the time it doesn't unlock, I tried calling and they say they'll request it to unlock but it still didn't happened. From my experiences, it's hit or miss with the unlock.
