Once the phone is delivered you need to activate the device , at which point the number port in process will begin . By default the auto refill is disabled in account , but it won't hurt to check and confirm . Once 30 days service is completed , total wireless will remind you to refill to continue your service , which you can ignore . The device will be unlocked once 60 days is over
I got the phone in the mail today. I ported over a Google Voice number when I bought it, and just activated the phone successfully. Just in case anyone needs some information, here's what I filled out when they asked about the existing carrier I'm using. I don't have the screen up anymore, so I don't remember the exact labels:


Select "Other" for the carrier. I didn't see anything for Google.
The account number is your 10-digit Google Voice number.
For the address, use Google's address:


1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy.
Mountain View, CA 94043

For the pin, you need to have a voicemail pin. If you don't have one:


Go to https://voice.google.com. You might have to be on a computer or access the desktop version of the site.
Go to Settings -> Voicemail -> Call to listen


If this is unchecked, check it and it'll ask you to put in a pin.
If this is already checked, you should see a button to reset the pin if you forgot it.



A couple other notes I wanted to put out there:


There isn't any sort of branding when booting up the phone. I noticed that the A15 from the Straight Talk deal had a splash screen for the carrier when booting.
There wasn't anything branding related until I was going through the setup process. There was a setting for TracFone Wireless Device Pulse terms and conditions. I'm wondering if this screen still shows up once unlocked and is factory reset. Does anyone happen to know?

Overall, it was a pretty smooth process for me. Not bad for a $65 phone.
You dont have to maintain the service beyond the one month which you pay for during the order. Device will be unlocked within 60days of activation, so technically you are paying for the device in the form of Plan payment for a month and then some tax.

From what I read you can use a Google voice number. Pay $3 and they will let you port it out

This is not new. Also if you are anyway going to get the id verification done via 3rd party (which is mandatory with Total to get the deal), the Motorola Edge 2024 is a much better device at the same price IMHO.

specs wise, moto edge 2024 is little better but software update cycle kills the beautiful device. Moto offering only one major android upgrade vs Samsung 4 upgrade is honestly a better deal in my opinion. I do have the Moto edge too and its bit narrow to hold as well if that matters to anyone.

Agreed and may be it's just my use case but I tend to sell my phones after a year of use to get the best value out of it and also with rapid hardware changes, nowadays, the decline in value is exponential.

Alternatively I also explore the option to unlock the bootloader and root devices for extended custom rom support (but that's not true for all devices. Having said that. Motorola is far better than Samsung on ease of bootloader unlocking and releasing the same hardware across the globe meaning better open source developer support.)

But that's just me, you may disagree and I respect that.

Verizon (and therefore their Total Wireless brand) does not allow unlocking of the bootloader on their phones.

Just ordered.
Can someone confirm the next steps would be:
1. Get phone in mail and activate per the instructions in the shipment.
2. Cancel auto-renew? Or cancel plan?
3. Wait 60 days from activation and it will automatically unlock so that it can be taken to another carrier.

Not a bad deal but the required port-in and ID verification + only 1 month of service included kinda put a damper on things, compared to the similarly priced but no port in/verification Galaxy A15 with 1 year of service included deal by QVC at least, albeit obviously A35 is a better phone than A15

From what I have seen the A35 is supposedly a pretty decent phone. GSMArena has it as one global version with all the good European bands supported, not sure if there is special carrier editions here. on the TF website it only says LTE/5G. Duh.

Don't know how good a35 is but if you don't want to do the id thing straight talk has a few free android phones without the id check.

Both have the same parent company Verizon. Same 60 day unlock. Silver plan activation needed at 45
