YMMV i purchased 2 and was able to Bypass port requirement it only needs text verification to order. After getting device activate on total website click activate at top of page>One you've purchased through Total Wireless>I want a newer number. Plan is tied to phone IMEI when activating.

That said I have been burnt enough times and learnt the hard way to stay away from them. At least with Metro the system rejects orders beforehand. With Tracfone the issues happen after you get the phone…if something goes wrong in activation the customer service outrigjt lies and wastes your time .
That was NOT my case a few months ago, I needed to talk to CSR for unlocking.
The camera is good but not splendid. The screen looks good but has lagged touch register/none-register issue. Overall this phone is buggy and not worth the MSRP of $699. $100 seems like a fair price if you don't have other choice.

* If you ACTIVATED the TF SIM in the Total A54, then it's being treated as if the Total A54 was "re-branded" to TF. The phone will be unlocked 60 days after activation.
* If you SWAPPED in the already-activated TF SIM, then the phone will work on TF (until/if TF detects the swap and might shut down your line). The A54 might never get unlocked because Total system never records that its IMEI was activated.

For all the naysayers, this is a pretty decent phone for most uses. It's main draw for me is the dual-sim capability. I already have a OnePlus flagship, but I'm looking for a "good-enough" backup for when I'm traveling and I don't want to pay $250+.
Edit to add: For anyone that hasn't dealt with Total/TracFone/StraightTalk before, website issues are the norm. Their IT department is probably some guy working out of his mom's basement as a part-time gig when he isn't asking whether you want fries with your order.

If I first activate it with the Total SIM, can I then use my TF SIM in the phone even before it unlocks? I presume the phone should still unlock since it's been activated.

Would this be the case if my TF service is already using a BYOP sim in my non-TF device? I've been using it that way for about a year, and if I recall I swapped it from a couple of older TF devices that I've since turned into WiFi-only. I originally got that SIM for an older unlocked T-mobile phone, then swapped it into the unlocked TF phones, then swapped it into a newer BYOP device.
I just want to make sure I do this right because I've got ~3000 days of service remaining on that SIM.
