can someone verify if the t mobile physical sim card will work on this metro phone before the 365 day hold period? some phones like the previous A series has worked. I want to be confirmed before ordering the sim card.

You have to sign up for a custom plan. You have to sign up in app. The lowest plan is 75 texts and 75 call minutes which is $2. There is a line fee of $1.98. When you select the 75/75 you are able to reduce the data from 1gb to 0gb. So total was $3.98 plus tax = $4.82 (tax obviously varies by state) .

Then after activated and you get a numbr you go to Access tab and you can find account number. Then there was a link to say Deactivate or leave or something like that .And I chose to keep my number and then got a popup about being charged $3 fee for porting out under 7 days. So $~4.82 + $3 is around $8

I am having an issue though as its Sunday, my device has not shipped yet all the info in the app blanked out. The MobileX app should work as a normal customer until the port initiates. But my texts and calls still work. Which I dont care about because I already entered my acct number and pin on Metro. I can't verify succes until I get my phone and activate,
Thanks for this. I followed what you did and just successfully activated.

Can I use the phone plan in another device couple of days after activating on A37 or I need to use it the line with the A37 only?

I got the phone and I do NOT want to open it for 1 year and then have it be unlocked. I have prepaid the $40 for it and I went into a Metro by Tmobile and they activated the phone for me (without taking it out of the box). They showed me a screenshot with the IMEI number, the eSIM number, and that the plan started. They did say that it is active, but not fully active since the eSim hasn't communicated yet. (they did tell me that autobilling is off, so I shouldn't get more charges).

With that, when I try to logon to the website, it is attempting to send me a text for verification, and of course I can't get it without opening the phone. While this work? I would hate for a year to have gone by only to find out that the unlock 365 clock hasn't started.

did Google voice port in stop working? they used to work for me in previous metro deal few years ago.
Google Voice has changed this year. They now require ID verification to even get a number, and charge a $20 port out fee. Compared to their old method of just buying the number for $3 and being able to port it out.

Text now gives you instant ph9ne number without doing anything. Can that number be used as "port in" for these promotions?
You have to pay $1.99 per week for the number to be locked for you to port it out. From my experience it was considered a land line which took the carriers a long time to try to port it out to their service. At most you may pay 2 weeks worth of fees to textnow have the carriers figure out how to port it out correctly. Contact Textnow for the port out information before you start.
