My issue is the phone was Metro SEALED brand new. After many calls a human at Metro said the phone was already unlocked but still showing locked because is was never activated. They said any store could finish the process. I’m not believing that yet.
Hello FPChris! Locks are annoying, I don't buy phones from carrier's or locked devices anymore just avoid the headache (unless I make a video about it!). I'd be surprised if they would unlock an unactivated device since their terms say "One hundred eighty (180) days must have passed since the device's activation date" as of 5/19/23. But who knows? Worth a shot I'd say. Please let me know if a store will unlock it, that would be interesting.
Hi I've went to my neighborhood Metro and bought a moto stylus 5. And still buying monthly time. It's been about five months since buying the cell. Can we have the phone unlocked with, or without metro getting involved.
Hello! If it's been 180 days since it was activated, and the device is paid off you should be able to unlock by the device unlock app. Otherwise, you'll need to reach out to Metro.
the network unlock app is hidden somewhere and i cant find it its not in the hidden apps in settings but it is in the app settings but i cannot open it or find how to put the app on the home screen help
Have a one plus nord 200 5, owned it since aug 21. Went to unlock it to use with q link, says it can not be unlocked? Been well over time limit?? Help here
Hello Brian! I would reach out to the carrier that the Nord is locked to. If you're having a hard time with customer service reps over the phone, I would try Twitter. Or if your carrier has a store near you, in-person might be best.
@@phonecomp Great to know thanks. I stopped by Metro with mine they couldn't do anything there but said customer support can. The eBay seller I bought from will need to do it with their info.
@@benjmiester Good luck! I've had sellers that were willing to help me out, but not many. I recently tried to pay to have a Pixel 6 unlocked from Verizon, and a local shop couldn't do it. Unlocking is such a headache sometimes.
Hey bro I got a question. My mom bought new iPhone 14 pro in us from metro pcs carrier. Now I live in India and she have visited me here . She wants to give it to me. The phone is locked . She had paid full amount while buying. It has esim only feature which metro has already activated with their own esim . Now the problem is I can’t add any new esim until it is unlocked. But the problem is that the metro sim doesn’t work here. So how would I contact the metro pcs from India to know the process. And finally she had bought this phone in October. Do you have any suggestions
Hello Swedeepadhikari! I'm thinking Metro will refuse to unlock the device until 180 days have passed since it was activated. You can certainly try to reach out to their support through social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram), but unfortunately I doubt they will be willing to unlock it early, even though it is paid off.
Hi I had the same issue but mine was the Nokia X100. My mom travelled for a short visit in the US. I called the customer care from Nigeria they actually answered spoke to the guy on the phone & explained the issue. He said he unlocked for me that all I had to do was put. A new sim that didn't still work it was showing me cannot reach server at this time try again. I have complained to there Twitter they raised a ticket for me I'm waiting to hear from them. My thing is can they actually unlock the phone from there servers. Because I saw somewhere that someone day they can't

I tried every solution that they had provided to me but after 200 days or so from the purchase day my phone was unlocked remotely without notifying me . I had just tried to add esim again and this time it worked. Hope yours problem would also be resolved soon..

Thank you bro I actually appreciate I'm Glad it all worked out man. I've even met other people with the same issue I gave them the same advice & it worked out for them too thanks
Hmm, Metro will only unlock a phone if 180 days have passed and if it had been 180 days the device unlock app should have worked? Any idea why it didn't work?
Hello Gimmethelolz! Account issues perhaps? There are a few reasons why it might not work. I'd reach out to customer support-that's going to be the quickest way to get some answers. Sorry!
Hello Subway! Yes, after 180 days you can either unlock your device through the app or request the unlock from Metro. Just as long as your account is in good standing. As long as the carrier you switch to using similar frequency bands you are good to go (AT&T and T-Mobile plus the smaller carriers that use their networks).
I bought a phone from metro and I bought a plan....I don't like they service and left to another company with the phone number. But refuse to unlock the phone I bought telling I have to use they service. They said I have 80 more days to go. I don't want to use they service I very unhappy with they service and now I feel like I'm being forced to use they service or stuck with a phone I can't use that I paid for
Hello Tameeka, unfortunately yes that's the policy. I would suggest trying to pick up a used phone real cheap (ebay or Mercari) and/or sell your Metro locked phone-as long as it's paid off. I'm sorry I don't have better news! You can try an unlocking service, but it might not be worth the money and time (and there's no guarantee it will work).
Hello TheLil Turks! The S20 Ultra is great for sure, I really like picking up deals on slightly damaged devices! Have you checked with any phone repair shops to see what the cost is to have it unlocked?
Thats so helpful, I actually have a big domain of looked devices as a brogramer outside the USA specially in the middle east (Yemen), do you think the carrier company (any of them) would collaborate to unlock the devices for a price ? I really need help in that.
Hello Saleh! Glad it was helpful. For bulk unlocking, I would suggest reaching out to a third party unlocking company for something like that--my guess is the major carriers will not be willing to work with anyone for bulk unlocks (I could be wrong though).
So, You DID NOT unlock a phone from metro by t mo. I had issues for about a month with freaking metro. The phone would cut out while talking. I know more about phones than the usual person . I reset went to the store within the 14 days of purchasing. They wouldn't take it back,I paid almost 300.00 and I was pissed I contacted the BBB and FCC.I called metro and a lady reset the network. She said don't use the phone for 2 hours. So, I didn't. That seemed to fix the problem of the voice cutting out. I want to get this phone unlocked,so I can go back to tello. Metro caused me a lot of aggravation. I have boycotted that store. at the mall.
I'm sorry Steven, that is definitely a huge downside of buying used phones--you might be stuck taking it to an unlocker if you have any that are reputable in town. Or sell it as carrier locked.
Holy shit. Just go to your provider’s store and get a replacement phone. Why jump through all the hoops and in the end get rapped by the so-called phone unlockers!
Hello James! It can be a huge headache for sure. I actually just went through this again with a used Pixel 6 I bought from a seller on Mercari. They said the phone was unlocked and it was not, but I kept it anyway since I was able to figure out from the seller (before they stopped responding) the date it was activated-and Verizon customer service verified that the account it was last activated under was in good standing. All I had to do was wait 20 days for the automatic remote unlock from Verizon. Lots of hoops, but for some people it's worth it for a bargain!
Got metro by T-Mobile phone already contacted them they say it should be unlocked but when new sim is installed it keeps asking for unlock code please help me make it work
Hello Chima! I Unfortunately no, I'm pretty sure that will not work. I've heard of T-Mobile sims working in Metro devices, but that's about it. I'm sorry! You could definitely try, especially if the Simple Mobile hasn't been activated yet.
Hello Myron! No probably not. For a brand new phone to be unlocked you'd have to have a great excuse (military deployment) or a real sympathetic customer service rep. Sorry
Hopefully it works I have an iPhone XR I want to sell and it’s from metro and it’s harder to sell if it isn’t unlocked ! It’s paid off and in good standing
I always wonder when they gave me the phone for free that these companies think they have the right to lock these phones at all. These companies need to stop holding peoples property hostage, especially from the original buyer.
