- Take the device to the customer services area of the store.
- Tell the CS rep to do a return and re-buy since the device was not initially scanned properly.
- The rep would do the return transaction and put the refund on a store card/gift card.
- During the re-buy process make sure that they scan twice, both the UPC and the serial #. They would use the store card to pay for the re-buy.
- Check the receipt to confirm that it includes both the UPC and the serial #.

Without activation from the beginning, it will never ever going to be unlocked whatsoever.
Pros
- Nice build, even though plastic, the leather back feels nice
- 1080p 120Hz display
- Pretty solid upper entry-level chip, does not lag at all in daily tasks
- 8GB RAM means you can multitask
- 128GB + microSD, I don't take many photos or videos with it, but the storage is there
- serviceable camera array. Main camera has OIS, which is nice on a budget device. Ultrawide is there just to say it has an UW. Photos come out very processed, but fine.
- Dual speakers, not the best, but OK. Call quality has no problems.
Cons
- Heavy af
- Too tall due to giant bezels, taller than my S24U
- Coming from the S24U, the keyboard is thin, making each button skinnier so mistyped keys are more frequent
- Low light photos and video are potato if you're used to flagship, but still fine for a budget phone
- Screen is not very bright, will not be readable in sunlight or even some overcast days
- Motorola software lacks features that say, OneUI has, but some might consider this a pro - honestly back maybe 4 yrs ago, stock Android vs custom skins was great but now manufacturers have so many actually usable features in their skins that stock is a bit underwhelming

60-Days to get unlocked, No need to keep for 60-days, Just activated for first mo, Take the advantage of the free phone, and leave it un-serviced phone until it reaches 60-days. Once at that point, it will became unlocked, or unlock guide will be sent to your phone.
So in my case, leaving the phone un-serviced after 30 days hasn't done anything towards unlocking the phone. Just a heads up from my experience.

I should be able to purchase this, wait for 60 days and activate on Verizon, right?
Also, I assume this is a better phone that the tracfone deal posted for 49.98.
Thanks

Read ANY of the many ST, TW, or TF threads on SD - only 30 days active service required, then wait another 30 days (inactive) and phone unlocks. I just had another one unlock 2 days ago after 60 days with only the original 30 days paid service - read unlock policy, it's available online.
