    Samsung S23 FE $49/$99 on Metro

    in store with port $49 + act fee and $65 plan requirement

    online(no port needed) $99. no act fee $40 plan requirement

    historically Metro phones have unlocked after 6 months with or without continuous services (TOS does indicate continuous service requirement though YMMV)

    Samsungs relatively easy to convert to unbranded firmware

    this is really good deal

    It's out of stock online unfortunately which puts you at the mercy of the shady dealers that demand you buy overpriced accessories and who will add insurance and other things to your plan without your permission.

    Well now that it's free with no activation for Black Friday deals in store, it may be worth the headache.

    They're not going to let you out of there without the $65 plan no matter what the site says. They'll say their system won't let them have the sale price without it.

    it really just depends on the store and often times the employee who is helping you

    dealers get a really hard time from the corporate side if they do not have a commission structure and sales quotas that heavily discourage sales on the cheaper plans and without addon's like insurance.

    they tell dealers they should have 'triggers' in the commission structure and pay really well but only when a high percentage of sales are on the highest plan and with insurance.

    the crazy part of it though is that when they still had corporate stores those locations almost never tried very hard to push the higher plan or addon's and they were managed by the very people pushing the dealers to do so.
