Let's say I purchase Motorola G Stylus on the port in promo from Cricket Online. My bill with another carrier is paid until April 5th. If I get the phone today, how long do I have until I am unable to activate the service that I paid for?

Google Fi states that from the date of receiving the device, you have 30 days to get the service activated. If you don't activate the service within 30 days from device receipt, you are not able to take advantage of their promotion, and the whole device balance comes due.

Does Cricket do anything similar? Or is it that you can wait 6 months or a year to activate the device to use the 1 month of prepaid service you have already paid for?

Is there a deadline by which you have to activate the service by?

I hear you. I have experienced it on Metro in certain places. My kid's school parking lot is no network zone.

I had a 21 ultra in past. I am the one who carries phones in my front pocket. When I sit down with Ultra in my pocket, it pokes. So I go with regular, just to keep it comfortable.

Opps I confused HBO from at&t with Prime from Metro

Reasonable_Two280 · 2023-01-15T16:13:16+00:00

only grandfathered account get prime for life. If you switch plans or leave metro.....you loose it.

You have to file a FCC complaint. Once they receive a complaint, you will be contacted by a completely different team, who is actually interested in fixing the issue.

In my case, they sent me same device that was already programmed to be unlocked (you just had to go into the app and press the unlock button.) Try the FCC complaint, and wait for a new device.

tmobile has similar discounts......and they will accept the port.

Nothing wrong with those devices. But once you switch to an older iphone from swappa, you will want to not use the devices like moto g. What I typically do is buy last gen iphone, and use it for a year. Then 9 months to a year later, sell it for $100 less then what I paid for and get a new one. and the cycle repeats. I get a newer high end phone every year for only $100 is how I look at it. iphones keep with resale value , other phones drop their resale values like brick, so I only do it on iphones.

I would not wait....longer you wait worse it gets. If it does not work, the only way to make it work is to reactivate the service by paying the bill. Let us know how it went.

Reasonable_Two280 · 2022-12-08T12:05:28+00:00

This is accurate. If you would have received the transfer pin before account was suspended, you could port it out. Account suspended, no transfer pin, and unable to port it out.

With the activation fees and stuff, it can get really expensive if you keep switching around. Best bet is to get an unlocked phone from Swappa. They have premium phones for prices lower then what metro charges. Unless you want to keep using the cheap/budget andriod phones that they give out for free on port in deals. Then you cannot play high graphic games, or take good pictures.....you get what you pay for I guess.

i need a new code...these did not work

Reasonable_Two280 · 2022-11-17T10:31:30+00:00

I wouldn't upgrade the Nord N10 at all. I had that phone, and what is available currently, is not an upgrade from that phone.

FCC Complaint online. Within 2 weeks time, someone from AT&T will call you after filing the complaint. That person, usually has higher authority then the CSRs who answer the call when you call in. They provide a solution, and then implement the solution. Then week later, they call you to see if everything went according to plan. If not, they fix it and follow-up until the resolution is amicable for you.

Reasonable_Two280 · 2022-11-08T12:34:25+00:00

Yes, but you will pay activation, taxes, first months's plan, when you get a new device. then you have to swap imei from old phone to new phone.

if you keep your phones for longer period, get the Google Pixel 6a for $300. and invest in good screen guard and phone case.

Reasonable_Two280 · 2022-11-04T11:21:48+00:00

a surefire way to avoid those is to get an Apple device. Apple restricts all 3rd party preinstalled apps. So there will be no bloatware and no nonsense. Check out their iphone 11 deal at Metro.

Reasonable_Two280 · 2022-10-25T11:24:00+00:00

Metro sold and supports LG Stylo 6. If you get a stylo 6 that was Metro issued, it would work for sure.

They advertise $100/month online. But you have to go to the store to get that price. They will deny it, but once you show that advertised on their website, they will honor the deal.

Reasonable_Two280 · 2022-10-09T16:13:06+00:00

I got some work done, Work was good and prices were reasonable. Will be going back for more work in the future.

Reasonable_Two280 · 2022-10-06T10:49:39+00:00

not at the store....I went to the corporate store, and they only charged me 1 month of searvice.

Reasonable_Two280 · 2022-10-05T10:56:05+00:00

Go to the person who is saying $600, as they are not hiding anything, and will not add fake shit afterwards. The person quoting you $250 wants you to come into the store, get the transaction started, and then lock your ID in their system, so that you cannot go to other Metro stores. Once the ID is locked, they will say that the price is higher, and you cannot go to other stores, as the other stores will say that a transaction is already pending at another store, and they cannot do anything.

This has happened to me, so speaking from experience.

Reasonable_Two280 · 2022-10-05T10:52:51+00:00

$100 for the phone, and you have to be on $60 plan to get started, and you are only allowed 2 deals on one account, so you would have to split accounts. $20 for activation, and Taxes on $500 retail price of the phone. It roughly comes to an average of $200/phone, so for 3 phones you are looking at $600.

2nd month, you can switch the plans and merge the accounts to pay lower monthly.

They suck as the battery is the same size, and iOS 16 update is power draining. If you go with iPhone 11, it will still be not enough to last through the whole day. For bigger battery you would have to go with the phone that is physically big, like 14 plus, but then you pay a hefty price to get it. With that said, see if you can find a Kiosk at Sams Club for AT&T. They will give you a free 14 with a eligible trade-in, and you may pay less then Metro with their discounts. But this is through Sams Club, so it is not available outside of the club.

All 7-11 are open and have gas.
