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.

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.
Incorrect. The Motorola Edge 2024 gets 2 system software updates and 3 years of security updates. The Motorola G Stylus 2024 just gets 1 system update and 3 years of security updates. I install Avast app on my outdated security phones. Free, very highly rated 4.6 out of 5 stars with +100 million downloads. As a Motorola, Samsung and Pixel owner, I think system updates have become overrated as little significant change happens. In the past we saw more significant changes and its design. Not anymore. I am not wowed with system updates with my Pixel 6a going from android 13 to android 15.

As for the size being too narrow for the Edge? The Mototola is a smaller size phone with 90% screen to body ratio, 20:9 ratio and the edge less curved side design. The Samsung has 84% screen to body ratio (bigger bezel) and 19.5:9 ratio.

The Edge has the better quality screen with 1300 nits over the samsung with 1000 nits. I am currently happily using my Samsung Galaxy A54 (over a year) which is very similar to the A35. The exynos 1380 chip has been great! Same processor in both A35 and A54. I will probably upgrade after 2 years more use. I think Samsung and Motorola did a great job with their midrange lines. I still have a pixel 6a that is a solid phones but I don't like it having a 6.1" display. Pretty much lost interest in the pixel A-line series with 6.1" displays.

Anyone know if this phone can work on Redpocket's GSMA (at&t towers) plan after it's unlocked?

I went from an A52 to an A35 and it is noticeably faster, slightly bigger screen, more responsive camera. Camera quality in low light is better.
Got an excellent condition from ebay for $150 last month. I saw a few for $160. Phone was released this past May. Phone case was $3 on AliExpress. Sim tray is double sided. One side for SIM and other side for MicroSD with contact pins facing outward. 512gb MicroSD cards are under $30 tor current black Friday sales.

Anyone know if I'm supposed to unlock the Google voice number before ordering or do I wait until I receive the phone?

I ordered another phone from Total and I would unlock the phone number when you received the phone.

Agree, but Sammy wins for product line updates.
Too bad they won't sell the A55 in America.

A35 is slightly bigger, and has better glass for the screen. It will also get 1 more year of updates since it's newer. A54 has better cameras.
same OLED/AMOLED screen quality.

However the A54 supports HDR+10 and the A35 doesn't.

HDR10 is a high-dynamic-range (HDR) video standard that uses 10-bit color to encode videos with more precise brightness and color levels:
