While the other poster may have been thinking of TracFone, Metro definitely has not always been 1 year to unlock. It used to be 6 months to unlock, which made these deals a lot more attractive.
Before that it used to be 3 months!

For $55 the TCL NXTPAPER 70 Pro seems like a better deal with 8GB of RAM, no?
Quote :
The core trade-off: TCL's screen is genuinely different — a matte, paper-like LCD with hardware-level blue-light reduction and a dedicated key to switch into an e-ink-style reading mode. It's cheaper (as low as $199 vs. the A37's ~$300+ street price) and adds microSD expansion and reverse charging. But it's a T-Mobile/Metro exclusive in the US, runs a mid-tier MediaTek chip, and TCL has a spottier update track record.

The A37 wins on raw display quality (AMOLED beats LCD for contrast and color), has Samsung's Galaxy AI features (Circle to Search, Object Eraser), Knox security, and a much stronger 6-year OS update commitment — which matters more for something you'll actually keep using daily. The Exynos 1480 and TCL's Dimensity 7300 are roughly comparable performers.

the NXTPAPER's main selling point over it would really only be the eye-comfort display for heavy reading — everything else (camera, chip, longevity) tilts toward t.
So yeah despite the ai generated comparison, Ill give you the 2gb extra ram and the microsd card, the tcl is also bigger

How about this one for $2.74
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GCKYCYC2
I found this case https://www.amazon.com/QLTYPRI-Sa...B0GJJMMPFT on AliExpress for $2.17 versus the $12.99 on Amazon

It was a welcome deal but it went through, I did choose A36 though so I hope it fits - supposedly the cases are compatible

Even some of the photos are identical with the same people

Only downside is I have to wait a week or two for it

i'm talking about the moto edge 2025 which is also free. nowhere did I say s25
Well you did not say Motorola either, so somewhat ambiguous

But the Moto Edge 2025 does look a better phone , plan requirement is $65 ,right so $25 more. I am kind of engrained in the Samsung ecosystem but would be nice to try out a Motorola

UPDATE from my Google Voice port: I porteded my google voice number and the phone arrived on Wednesday and I activated it. The only problem I have run into is that GV numbers are apparently legally considered landlines, so it has been a funny process of DAY ONE I can receive and send text messages DAY TWO I can finally make calls and DAY THREE yay, I can also receive calls! I had no idea how complex phone services are and I have so much respect for the intricacies of a worldwide system that is constantly(nearly) kept humming. Doing this again with another GV number for the newer metro stylus.

Edited to add: I am removing a lot of the bloatware and other than that, I am perfectly happy with the SG A37 as a backup phone. I cannot seem to ever quit my Motorola love if for nothing else than the quick shake and flip motion access to the camera, flashlight, etc.

Noob ?. So I still have to have active service while I have this phone put away for the 11 months I don't want to use this in order to unlock? My goal was to use for a month then port to a cheaper carrier. Didn't want to pay $40 a month for a year, or can you also downgrade to $20 a month plan?

This phone is selling for $374 unlocked on Amazon, so this is a pretty good deal even if it's carrier-locked.

If you think it's worth waiting a year for it to unlock—or you're happy using it on Wi-Fi in the meantime—it could be a worthwhile buy.

I value the opinion of someone who owned both phones much higher than some AI bot on the internet. Real life use may be dramatically different than specs posted on the manufacturer's website

How does Metro usually ship their phones? Ups, FedEx or USPS?
