I turn off autopay and just let the plan die after the month is up. No need to cancel since it is prepaid service. Take a screenshot with autopay off if you want to be double safe but I have never had a problem.
thank you for this tip!

I have one Metro line ($120/6 month plan). When I tried to add a new line for this phone, it did not work at the last moment when I clicked placed order. Payment was rejected. Not sure how to place order.

Same here. Tried like 5 times with other family members as well. Everyone got the same: "Unfortunately can't complete your order online." We cannot verify your identity. "Call 1-888-8-METRO8." The only common thing between all attempts was the phone number to be ported from H2O which doesn't have a name or address (zip code) in the account. The most annoying part is that it does it at the last screen after collecting and verifying all the information. Now there are like 5 $40 holds on Credit Card which will probably take a few days to fall through.
Yes, I have the same.

I tried many different devices, mobile and desktop browsers, wi-fi, cellular internet including Metro, and different credit cards, yet I saw the same page.

I will call them tomorrow since I am stuck in it

Try this. In sim setting. Turn off MetroPCS sim. Turn off T-Mobile sim. Turn T-Mobile sim back on.
One question, did you test T-Mobile sim first before you activated metro?

So, idk how true this is but I called 2 different customer service rep today to ask about Unlocking Policy and both of them told me that I needed to have 12 months of active service in order to be eligible for the unlock. How are people able to unlock this phone with just one month of service after 12 months?

Hi. Yes I tried put the t-mobile sim inside before doing the factory reset, then the XAA u1 firmware from samfw.com. Now when i factory reset, all i need to do is disable CIDManager. But I'm still getting the error. the Metro sims has been turned off before i tried it. What am I doing wrong? thank you for the help

Was T-mobile sim working before you do anything? The first thing I did was insert T-mobile sim first once I received the package to ensure 5G data and voice call work. Then I flashed XAA firmware.

Yes the t-mobile sim was in my moto edge. It's a physical sim. Then I start with the XAA firmware U1 A376U1. I downloaded the odin 3.14.4. Following the 4 things to paste into the odin. Lastly I did the odb and turned it off. Does it need to be done out of the box? because I tried to factory reset it and it's still giving me this error. I really want this to work. Please let me know if I missed a step. Thank you so much

So after you receive the A37. You put the Tmobile sim from your moto edge into A37. make a test call on you A37. Surf the internet with 5G. Both voice and data working. right? Then you flashed XAA, right?

Its not going to work if it wasnt working to begin with. Flashing firmware is not going to fix it. Flashing only helps to stop bloatware.

My theory by inserting T-mobile sim first so the phone can register on tmobile network. So far it works on my A37 and A11+ tablet.

I see. Thank you for the quick response. It's informative and at least I got rid of the bloatware. I'll use this phone a year from now. Thank you for the info
