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.co
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.

I suggest filing an FCC complaint ASAP, it will get a response from higher level support & they will have to fix it - 60 day unlock is written policy, you can get it on their website.
Definitely will look into the FCC complaint. Hopefully will get me further than the hours I've already spent with them. When I originally called they didn't even know about the 60 day unlock policy and the rep said I needed 12 months of active service. The problem is that Total Wireless is a sister company of Tracfone and so a lot of misinformation and confusion spread throughout the company. I was shocked when I saw the line removed as well. I called and asked the line to be reactivated. I even told them I was willing to pay for another month but I needed to "validate" an account that no longer existed on the imei. So I can't even use this phone on total wireless. Total paperweight.
You are correct, I should have worded that better. I simply cancelled autopay, I did not cancel the line. They removed the phone number line from my account regardless. The phone was NOT unlocked automatically.
BTW, did you just talk to a standard rep (usually clueless) or the actual Unlocking Dept? They should know better - it's only been 3 years since the policy changed from 12 months to 60 days.
That's what I was hoping for but alas no. Phone was indeed connected to WiFi. They said my phone did not qualify to unlock after I called in. Maybe I'm a one off, but I also faced the same problems with activations a lot of others in this thread are stating. I have zero reason to make this up, just letting others know my experience.

Actual unlock rep, although I agree the total wireless rep was also clueless. 1-888-442-5102
Ridiculous. Nobody should be supporting businesses demanding it
As much as I'd like this phone it's what's keeping me from going forward and buying it. Not even major carriers make you jump through hoops like that. The selfie is too much. Even the ID front and back is an overstep.
Both have the same parent company Verizon. Same 60 day unlock. Silver plan activation needed at 45
A35 is a darn good phone and a value for a price. And this is deal is slick. I have one for my teenager and it is great.
