It worked with a Google Voice telephone number transfer. (Google did charge me $3.00 to unlock the number, and I had to wait until the next day for the number unlocking to go thru)

No micro SD card slot, so you are stuck with 128gb

What about the A57 for $99 with 256gb storage?
It's $165, not $99. So about $125 more. Is it worth it at that difference? Not really, unless you want the extra storage and slightly faster chip.

I attempted this twice and each attempt was met with a rejection message stating "Sorry, we couldn't reserve your number."

With Gemini guiding me, I unlocked my GV number and attempted to port it to Metro yesterday, twice, and again today. Metro rejected the GV number and sources online state that Metro's system sees native GV numbers as a virtual landline and automatically rejects them.

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.

Have you guys tried this..?? How To Unlock a Metro by T-Mobile Phone (2026 Guide) | The Droid Guy
So basically for $100 in Metro Refills you can get it unlocked after 14 days. Adds to the cost of the phone considerably

I see $99 for the A57, unless there's a catch somewhere in the plan selection process. But you're right that the A37 is the better value. I looked at the feature set, specs and benchmark scores for the two models on GSMarena. A57 is just slightly better on benchmarks, has very similar hardware specs, and unlike some 256GB models, it is not not equipped with UFS 4.0 storage.

I only had that problem when I did not have it attached to a live cell service which is what I used the mint mobile trial sim for that I had just laying about because I got a couple of them for $2 each last year. Once I attached it to a live cell service number again, it let me port out the google voice number and that number had never been used as a prior cell phone number, it was just something google voice served up for me from the zip code/area I wanted a number from....

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.

He is factoring in the required first month plan payment. So compared to $40 for this phone its $165 . There is a separate thread

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.

I think you always have to verify a GV number with a real cell number (and/or possibly landline)
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.
