- 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.
Community Reviews
The TCL NXTPAPER 70 Pro stands out as a midrange phone that doubles as a very eye friendly e reader, with a matte screen, ePaper mode, long battery life, IP68 water resistance, and a fingerprint sensor on the power button. The screen is praised for reducing eye strain, especially at night, and the device can work well as a pocket reader or Wi Fi ebook device. Metro pricing appears to hinge on port in and plan choice, with the phone free on a $55 first month plan or $19.99 on a higher monthly plan. Main cautions are the 365 day unlock wait, limited included service, possible bloatware, and weaker outdoor visibility for some.

metro is one of the worst when it comes to preloaded apps on any phone i get form them.
T mobile and ATT isn't much better, they often hide it under app selector or something. my T mobile Galaxy devices often comes with a bunch of bloatware.
if you want the near stock experience, you choice is to buy unlocked phone. that said, my T mobile version of this phone has NO bloatware whatsoever out of the box, which was the first for me.
I have just received the nxtpaper 70 from t mobile this afternoon, and when i say there is no bloatware, i mean there is none, not even T Life or app selector. all apps fits in one page. the only three thing that is not stock android is IR remote app, smart manager app and a note app.
well.. i cannot say much for apple or pixels (since i don't use them), but I do have a few galaxy (like 8 or more) from T mobile and they are loaded with bloatware. the only galaxy that i have that doesn't have bloatware are directly from samsung unlocked (and even those have more vendor apps).

Speed wise, expect it is a mid range phone so if you the latest and greatest games, it may not perform to your expectation. But I find the next paper thing is quite intriguing. It has a matt screen and with the epaper mode turned on, look and feel just like my Kindle. The craftsmanship is also pretty good for the price. The only thing I wish they come with is a pen.
I think if you're looking for a IP67 phone that doubles as e-reader with SD card expansion slot.this may just be your best choice. but if your objective is portability and good camera, this may disappoint you. also keep in mind that you can not really find that many choices for case for this phone.
If you want a new number, phone is $19.99 but minm plan you need to opt is $65/month, otherwise the price will not be $19.99 for the phone (I assume that's what is happening for you)
