This is a budget Galaxy A37 5G deal that stands out for its midrange specs, long software support, and strong value as a backup or travel phone. The 6.7 inch AMOLED display, 5,000 mAh battery, IP68 rating, and six years of updates make it appealing, and it also gets praise for emulation and decent camera performance. The main drawbacks are the 6GB RAM, no microSD slot, and reports of noticeable One UI lag. Metro's 365 day unlock lock and frequent port in and checkout problems are the biggest caveats.
Travelers who want a backup phone for a year, because it can sit on Wi‑Fi, auto-unlock after 365 days, and gets six years of software updates.
People who want a cheap emulation handheld, because it runs older consoles well and can even handle some Switch titles.
Shoppers who need a midrange phone with decent cameras, because its photos are described as close to an S25 in good light and better than Moto cameras.
Users who want a straightforward backup daily driver, because it is described as usable with some lag and still fast enough for everyday tasks.
People who need a snappy phone for heavy multitasking, because the interface lag is noticeably worse than on comparable Motorola models.
Buyers who want to port in a Google Voice or other virtual number, because Metro can reject those transfers or leave them stuck in limbo.
Shoppers who need a phone that can be used on another carrier right away, because it stays locked for 365 days after activation.
International travelers who need roaming outside North America, because Metro appears to lack international roaming beyond Mexico and Canada.

no , it will not
Someone in this thread said it worked for them but I do not see how. Their GV number may have originated from a wireless carrier and then was ported to GV before they ported it out to Metro.
From now on, to maintain tactical flexibility and readiness, I will keep on hand a two SIM card kits (Tello+US Mobile) to generate qualified transfer lines in my old unlocked Pixel smartphone. For Metro specifically, Tello numbers will be disqualified because the numbers originate on the T-mobile network. But US Mobile numbers will qualify. Tello will come in handy for locked phone deals on the Verizon network and both Tello and USM numbers can be used for ATT MVNOs. That's my plan.
You are selecting unlock on your google voice number, correct? The button next to it in your settings? You have to do that first and also have it connected to some live cell carrier number(any trial sim should do)before metro's system will let you move it. It was pretty straightforward for me which is why I was confused by all the comments. I had purposely avoided doing this the past few days because of the comments and then when I did it I was like...huh. Once metro gives you the okay and asks for your account number or whatever, you just put the 10 digit google voice number, your pin from your google voicemail(I had never set that up before so I had to do that), and a dummy zipcode. Then it was checkout and phone will arrive in 2-3 days with free shipping.
256gb is still twice the storage of 128gb
By biggest issue with either of these deals is the lock. The AT&T deal at Walmart has a trick to unlock it but I recall having a major headache last time I tried that.
Are you sure you didnt port the triial number from Mint?

I don't understand what you're trying to convey. All I know is that GV numbers are VOIP and Metro will boink them if there's a port in attempt during checkout for a promotional discount on a phone. It makes sense because carriers offer these device deals as a competitive tool to pull in mobile users from their competitors. We're technically trying to loophole in this policy.
