Should be able to unlock after 60 days per TracFone.
If the TracFone device was activated with new service on the Verizon network on or after November 23, 2021, then at least 60 days must have elapsed since the device was activated.
Not automatic. I received a text on day 60 that my phone was eligible for unlock. The website didn't work so I had to call Unlocking Department at 1-888-442-5102. Say you activated after 11/23/21 and they will ask for phone #, IMEI, email and reason to unlock. Once verified, two codes will be sent to the email you provided. On your phone, dial #TFUNLOCK# (#83865625#) to access the TF UNLOCK Menu, and enter the codes you received.
LoL. Your view is not from the point of technology. Do some research.
Most non-tech people like you would think LTE and GSM are two different things, which is actually wrong.
In telecommunications, Long-Term Evolution (LTE) is a standard for wireless broadband communication for mobile devices and data terminals, based on the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA standards.

Sadly, not well supported by Samsung, per this:

Does this mean it must be active for the full 60 days or simply activated with the accompanying air time (30 days) then let sit for 30 days then unlock?
Will a second 30 days of air time need to be purchased and used?

Good deal! Thanks, OP!
It's worth mentioning that Chase Freedom currently has a 5% cashback on PayPal, which can sweeten this deal a little more. Cheers!

Yes, you do need to have the phone in ACTIVE condition with the network for 60 days. Many folks bought cheap phones from Tracfone for the accompanied 12 months plan, then used that plan with another (fancier) phone that they have. They ended up could not unlock the cheap Tracfone phone, even after 12 months, since it does not enough "active" time with the carrier.
