I forgot to tell you, for some reasons, we have to Text UNLOCK two times in a row (you text once and again text 2nd time in a row) and you should receive the text that says the date on which the device gets unlocked.

I did do it twice and it does give the unlock date, but it also says to call the number to unlock rather than have it automatically unlock. Is this still going to be done automatically?

if you never put the sim to phone, that would be fine. But if the sim has been put into another phone, that could cause trouble for unlocking. I bought two phones at same time long time ago and I moved sim for one phone and I didn't for another phone. Then at 60 days mark one phone get unlocked automatically and for another phone I had to call tracfone to get it unlocked
It doesn't matter if you put the SIM in or not on day 60 or beyond, or if you had swapped the SIM around; as long as you did put the SIM in the phone at the time when you initially activated the service, they have the record of the service for the device. Most people only use one month of service; by the time of 60 days, your SIM card most likely has already been deactivated; you cannot send SMS anyway.
When you put the different carrier card with WiFi on, it would automatically contact the server to get unlocking eligible status, either unlock it or deny the unlocking request.

If you have metro or tmobile, sure. Otherwise you have to wait a year for it to unlock.

I hate Total wireless or any Verizon companies.
When they say $65 with a free phone ,but they charge you around $90 . Metro is honest that free phone is free phone without the fake taxes on original price

What I said is based on my personal first hand experience. I said, it could interfere the automatic unlock. While you still can get it unlocked by call cs

I was able to order two today for 65 + 30 + tax on both free phones.
Thanks. I figured out if you try to add a line + the phone through the My Account page, it doesn't discount the 2nd line. If you login your account and then just shop for the phone like normal, the 2nd line is $30 at checkout. I might do a Samsung A35 since it probably will have better resale value.

Neither of my two Edge's would let me pick a new number when activating. On both I received prompts telling me that porting was required. So I ended up porting two GV numbers that I hadn't wanted to port. My account does say that month 2 will be 95 for both lines of service if I choose to purchase it.

Thanks -- may I ask if you tried with the new number/activation soon after the shipping notice? Or upon delivery? Not sure if it makes a difference

This was upon delivery of both devices today. It didn't occur to me that it'd be different, but that'd be interesting to find out.

not true.
ANY TracFone related companies, their pretend they keep records.
Their CS just make things up on the fly.
Several times they told me my phone was never activated, even though I am talking to them on that same phone. No, did not swap SIMs.​

The fact , my phone ordered in September, now it is unlocked...I did swap SIM, and trashed the deactivated SIM before it got unlocked...
any phone you ever used it shows up in your account as "inactive line with IMEI # besides it".

Anyone know if there is valid rationale for them charging sales tax on the non-discounted amount?

(certainly no tax expert) A quick search/read makes it look like MOST states don't do it that way. I'm not finding the specific example of free goods as part of a service tho.

Blame California that does this. It seems to me that they are just making a blanket rule for everyone based off of the worst state tax policy. It's definitely annoying. I had a similar situation with my health insurance company where I can't view any medical records for my four oldest kids since Washington State says anyone over 13 has their records made confidential even from their parents. Never mind that I don't live in Washington State. Companies pull this kind of crap because it's just easier for them. To add insult to injury they lie to you if you ask about it. But whatcha gonna do, right?

Nobody know how tracfone system work internally unless you are some insider. I would say like this: some times, swap sim could interfere automatic unlock process. This was from my experience. It worked for you once doesn't mean it will work every time. I would say if you want to have a smooth unlock experience, don't swap sim.
