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.

So no porting from an mvno to another mvno to take advantage of new sign up offers. That's unfortunate. I wonder why they care who your prior carrier was.
Let's say you open 2 restaurants. It's better to steal customers from your other restaurant or from someone else?

I haven't used GV in years, my previous # was reclaimed. I created a new GV # today, paid the $3 fee to have it unlocked, and created a PIN. Ported the new GV# and PIN and completed the transaction with no red flags. Received order confirmation. IDK, can it still get rejected, just have to wait.

I use samfw.com
This is the latest firmware. A376U1UES5AZH1

https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-A376U1/XAA

You can download odin tool from samfw

I am getting errors with ODIN so will have to wait as I have the latest FW and I think the errors are because the XAA is behind.


I havent updates FW in ages and man this was a ride lol......I use a USB cable that would connect the phone to the PC and turns out some USB cables are only meant for charging lol.....after getting the right cable I had to make sure that USB Debugging was turned and now I am stuck with the error noted lol.

Use the cable that came with A37 or A11+.

Make sure the phone is in download mode when flashing.

Once received, can the plan be activated on a different phone instead? I'm thinking of putting the unopened A37 in a drawer for a year...

My order shipped today, so it appears GV worked as a port out # for my purchase.

Amazon has quite a few, starting a low as $ 3.24. I prefer something less bulky, so I can't personally recommend a particular one

From my research the 12 month lock starts the day the phone is activated, and automatically unlocks 1-2 days after the waiting period. So i don't think your scenario would work.

Flashing will not unlock your device automatically. You still need unlock from metro.

It used to be that way but has changed significantly in the past decade. Now T mobile owns metro and mint. Verizon owns straight talk, total, and visible and ATT owns cricket. The trick is to jump between the Verizon group to the t mobile group and back again.

FYI:
My T-Mobile sim no longer works on A37. I left the phone off for 2 days. This morning turn it on and no T-Mobile signal. Emergency call only. It was working for 3 weeks.
