This phone was released in June 2024. You must have had some other phone model.

SMS verification is not received. This is for Metro PCS numbers. Did anyone succeed?

Trying to close out first month with Metro (iPhone 12) and moving to Total for Edge. 😁

Also, based on delays so far - is this still worth trying?
Disable spam block perhaps? Or call and ask them to fix SMS short codes.

Moto edge didn't change much between 2022 ~ 2024, 2024 Edge has even lower spec than 2022 Edge+https://www.devicespecifications....c1bf23cbac
Not really. You're comparing the "plus" variant.
Motorola has like 5 different "Edge" phones.

Just a heads up, most motorola phones only get 1-2 major android updates.They also have locked bootloaders when sold by a major wireless carrier, so you might not be able to extend its useful life after its unsupported. I have also heard that Moto is terribly slow at providing android updates in general.
You're wrong about it having locked bootloader's. It's all dependent on the carrier, not the phone. I purchased a Moto G Stylus 5G 2023 from Metro by T-Mobile earlier this year (slickdeal frontpage) and I unlocked the bootloader successfully the first day it arrived and rooted it. I did have to wait 6 months for it to SIM unlock, but it did.

Likewise, I purchased a Moto G Power 2024 from Straight Talk a few months ago (slickdeals front page) and you can't unlock the bootloader (nor root it). There was also a big SIM unlocking fiasco after 2 months where no one got unlocked until mass FCC complaints arose.

I ordered on 9/30 and still nothing. Status is "Approved" but I get an error when I click on order details. The number I used for porting expires on 10/8 unless I renew for $11. At this point I'm ok just canceling, do I need to call to cancel?
Mine also throws an error and looks the same

You don't necessarily have to port in the same number given at time of order. You can port in any number (new to TracFone brands) when you go to activate the phone.

What's considered new? Haven't been on any of the Tracfone or VZ services for a certain time?

Curious what that duration is. The number I tried was on Tracfone for over a year that I ported to Metro. SMS didn't come through. But tried with my primary number which has been with T-Mo for 4 years and that worked.

When trying to see "order details" in your account OR trying to track the order with order number and email address, does anyone else get this message?

The value in the Quantity field is invalid. Ensure the value is a positive integer and try again.
Same message showing to me. Any luck?

There's no time limit, but the 60 day unlock period may not start. Since it's Verizon sold it's supposed to start from the day of delivery regardless... But .. it's best not to gamble and have to fight with them later. Activate when it arrives, make a test call, then you know the 60 day unlock counter is ticking.

In case anyone is wondering, this phone has Moto's Ready-For. which is very similar to Samsung's Dex, a desktop interface to use when connected to a monitor.
According to Moto's website, this can do it via usb out (as well as wireless), which is essential in my view. Wireless dex/ready-for etc. is too latency rich.

I have heard rumors than android in general will get a desktop alternate view like this, but you'd still need a phone that outputs via usb, which the vast majority do not.
