The popular deal from last fall is back! (This is a new post because the price has been $60 for over a month and just dropped back to $40 today)
- Just pay $40 out the door no tax (for most) for 1 month PREPAID service and receive the phone 100% free.
- You MUST activate and use the phone after receiving to start 180 day countdown to unlock.
- Just don't turn on auto pay, and service will disconnect after 30 days and you will not be billed for future months on pre-paid.

Edit 5/29 - The phone used on Wi-Fi only received the update yesterday.
In my case, the phone couldn't get unlocked when I sent it away. I bought 2 the same time, they both got activated, 1 with me in the US and 1 overseas, but the 1 overseas couldn't be unlocked.
I gifted a phone to a friend overseas. After 185 days phone unlocked.

Unlocked and all good except 14 upgrade

Does it automatically unlock or do you have to do something in the settings?
I've only taken it out to mark up pics

I guess if I were a delivery courier going around having people sign to accept packages, that might be really useful.

Has anyone tried one on Viaible after unlock? Motorola website lists 2023 as not compatible with Visible - 2022 is compatible (friend is using one) and Visible is selling 2024 version...
