Yeah that "365" days before unlocking isn't gonna fly for most ppl here.

Here's a.... well, not better, but DIFFERENT option:

source: https://thedroidguy.com/how-to-un...ne-1097252
"Exceptions for Early Unlocking
If the device has been activated for less than 365 days, the following conditions apply:
  • The account associated with the device must have had over $100 in refills during that period for each line active on the account.
  • The device must have been active on the network for more than 14 days since purchase."

it's probably both conditions which need to be met, right?
it's kind of nice but it makes the phone cost $165 at the very least.

I DID specify different, not better.

I went with the $27 "Motorola - moto g power 2024 5G 128GB (Unlocked) - Midnight Blue" option from Best Buy. It's extremely easy to get the price by canceling the VZW service.

You just have to cancel within 3 days and verify the cancel 2-3 times in that 3 days because they're TRAINED to not verify the cancel, let it bill out to 30 days and let it go to collections, which nets VZW millions a year. But I have no problem making them check their work, I've been a project manager for years, making ppl check their work is like 90% of my job 😂

Oh and it's best to use the pickup in store option. I did get the ship to home option to work for the OnePlus N30 from BBY 2 yrs ago, but the cancel was a bit more time consuming.

I read somewhere that you could get a Google voice number and "port" that in. Then foward that new number to you phone. I've never tried it so idk how well that works.

I did it for the $35 Total Wireless Moto Razr 2025 at launch. Worked fine, they said Google ports take a week vs 3-5 days for reg carriers, but it didnt cause an issue for me.
The SD deal was for $165, but I stacked a $90 rebate from Capital One.

Wait, as per source. Are you saying I can unlock my metro by mobile phone before 365 days? I have an active line with Metro I'm about 2 month with them and I paid over $100.

if it's $100 total in refills, yeah.

Also, I've tested this and I'd like to throw it out there that moving between subsets of MVNOs works without unlocking. DIdint used to, but a few years ago it did. Like, if you have metro but want to switch to idk, Family plan by walmart, as long as it's the T-mobile service subset, works fine. You usually need to get a new sim, but it's a negligible cost, e-sims are free.

Why are people looking for a port when this deal works fine with a new number?

Nice. I kinda accepted the fact by sighing with Metro for a year to get a free phone. I'll try to jump back to US Mobile for 25 dollar plan. Metro by the way was kind enough to give me Vip 48 dollar plan instead of $60 with the free phone. But I don't need Prime.

The latest(Aug 11, 2025) Metro By T-Mobile Unlock Policy

https://www.metrobyt-mobile.com/t...Tw5kKMTZNT
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.

    Military exceptions
    Deployed military personnel who are customers in good standing are eligible to have their devices unlocked upon provision of deployment papers. Please Contact us at 888-863-8768 for more details.
My data point:
I have a 180+ days ago Metro phone that was free after I paid 1 month of service. This phone met all the old pre July 2025 180 days unlock requirements. It is not auto-unlocked like. I have not tried to call the 888 number to get it unlocked. Not sure how it will go.

BTW can someone answer this question. Can Metro By T-mobile Locked phones be switched between accounts? Like if I give my locked Metro phone to my friend. Can he use it and vise versa? Because one prefers iOS the other Android. Both phones from Metro By T-mobile and currently locked to it.
