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

Day 1: Order with GV number or any number which is not Tracfone related. This is just for getting message.

Day 2/3/4: Whichever day the phone ships, immediately (dont delay beyond few hrs) login to your account and go to Manage Lines page. Select the IMEI from the dropdown. Go to activate page and select Activate now under "New phone Purchased through Total Wireless.". Click I want a new number radio button and enter your zip. Input the copied IMEI in the next page and follow the next prompts for activation. Once the activation is successful, the Manage Lines page will display the phone number instead of IMEI.

Day 3/4/5: Whenever you receive the phone, just pop in the sim card in the phone and text UNLOCK to 611611. You should receive confirmation message with unlock date 60 days from the day you activated the phone online. Enjoy your new phone.

PS: I am yet to try step 3 as I haven't received the phone
When I go to order, it asks for microphone and camera permissions to verify. The camera doesn't show up when I click the lines next to the address bar on top.

I had some friends spend an entire day trying to cancel their service with total and their useless customer service. Horror stories ugh
It's "Prepaid". Just don't pay.

Turn off auto-pay, if applicable. Remove(delete) any payment info, if you can. If the system demands some payment info, list something like a Privacy.com account that is virtually unfunded.

Got the DV text to work, but they want way too much info to verify for my liking. Hard pass.

I was able to get this deal to work better than expected. I'm a current TW customer and was able to use a new Google voice number to order the phone (Had to wait a day for their system to accept it and a valid number). Once I received the phone I simply swapped my current sim card into the new phone and to my surprise everything worked. They also gave me the credit for the month of service that came with the phone on my current plan automatically. YMMV but this was my experience with it.

This Motorola receives 2 system updates and 3 years of security updates. Phones still work without security updates. There are plenty very highly rated free anti-virus apps. I put avast anti-virus on my older phones that stopped receiving security updates. Apps are regularly updated too with security updates as well.
Thanks..I have a OnePlus which is lightning fast, charges quickly and while it won't get A14 serves me well..the reviews of this phone are mediocre at best though I'm happy to hear you enjoy yours!

I'm in Canada and Google Voice isn't supported. I bought the number from Number Barn and can receives text, but not from Total Wireless for the validation code to proceed. I'm basically stuck now.
I had an issue getting the code with a new number as well. I tried again a day after getting the number and then it worked. Might be worth trying it again to see.

The reviews are very solid from reviewers. While it may not be the best bang for the buck at full msrp, it has tremendous value at $65 sale price. Did you pay $65 deal for oneplus? Samsung and Motorola upper midrangers are by far the best bang for the buck android deals around for the past couple years. Oneplus phones are overpriced and overrated. We rarely ever see them mentioned anymore on slickdeals deals. In the past, they were praised for value but not anymore with their changes for their decline. The only android options for me is Samsung, Motorola and Pixel.

Oneplus website is currently selling the oneplus 11 5g for $500 sale, oneplus 12r (4 years of security updates) for $400 sale and oneplus nord n30 5g with snapdragon 695 processor for $230 sale. The nord gets 3 years of security updates. Oneplus is overpriced nowadays.

I'm in process of returning a used edge+ 2022. The software is annoying, intrusive in notifying you about everything from sun is rising to your sisters friends aunt is having a birthday next Tuesday. If the phone was freezing, crashing, or slow, it was clearly a defective unit. Which is why I keep my last phone in a drawer (backup phone) in case new one goes belly-up.This edge has various improvements not least is Android 14, with promise of iirc, 3 versions of Android update..to Android 17? ....Then again, Maybe you work for Samsung, Oppo, Sony, etc.
You got something set up wrong bub

The other pinned comment says they are all locked to Verizon. What am I failing to understand? Thanks for your help.
