- Many people harvest the plan by merging it onto an existing TF plan
- Rewards points give you extra data/min/text that you can add on after 2 months
- The number can be transferred to other carriers for port-in deals, ex: get a Galaxy A36 free instead of the TCL phone
- New number gives you new customer promos with various retailers/online services. You can change your Tracfone number 4 times a year. Metro allows 1 free change.
There was a Moto G Power 2024 deal for ~40 each with the 1 year service a few months ago. That phone is also 8GB/128GB with a Dimensity 7020.
enable usb debugging
get scrcpy (screen copy/mirror app) from github, shizuku apk and canta apk from github as well.
adb install shizuku.apk
adb install canta.apk
run scrcpy on your desktop. open shizuku app, select "install with adb command" option. click copy button to copy the command.
on desktop go to your adb command prompt and paste the code with ctrl+v and hit enter. you now activated shizuku. open shizuku and grant canta permission. open canta and find the bloatware apps + the installers responsible for them and remove/uninstall.
safe to delete canta/shizuku app if you want.

As I recall there was a way to activate the sim via an email or on the website at purchase time or am I getting confused with another offer?
According to perplexity (which doesn't mean it's accurate): Yes — Metro SIMs can be activated online, and in some cases the activation email is the starting point for that flow. Metro's activation page says customers who had devices shipped to them should use the activation email they received, and that if the flow doesn't work they can activate through the website or call customer care.
