The unlock occurs 60 days after proper activation. The auto-response when texting UNLOCK to 611611 is currently experiencing a glitch—please ignore it:

It takes some configuring, but I've had good experiences with using Google Family to manage my kids devices.
1. Go to the web to find the current minutes, messages, data, and days remaining on your permanent phone.
2. Activate your "donor" phone on the same account.
3. Go to the web to find the current minutes, messages, data, and days remaining on your new, donor phone.
4. Go to support.tracfone.com and scroll down to and click "Chat with Support".
5. Populate the message template below with details of your donor phone and permanent phone and share with the CSR.
Hello, I'd like to move the data, minutes, text, and remaining days FROM my line TO my line .
currently has ### minutes, ### messages, #.# GB data, ### days left which I'd like added to my line which currently has ### minutes, #### messages, #.# GB data, ## days left.
My account email address is:
The end result should be minutes, messages, GB data, days left.

1) Activate Moto #1 with new number on Tracfone.
2) Wait/Use for 60-days.
3) Activate Moto #2 + transfer number from Moto #1.
4) Follow previous recommendation of:
1) Activate Moto #1 with new number on Tracfone.
2) Text UNLOCK to 611611 (sometimes twice) and it will give you a date the phone is eligible to be unlocked. (This is not a requirement, you can skip this step.)
3) Wait a day or two (or 60 days until it unlocks, but not really necessary to wait this long), activate Moto #2 by keeping your number as shown in the DIY [reddit.com] Guide. Moto #2 should have 3,000 TTD with 2 years of service. You don't need to contact support for this.
4) Both phones should be eligible for unlock 60 days after activation. (Moto #2 may report the same unlock date as #1 because of the service transfer, but the actual date is still 60 days after its activation).

Sadly, the promo code expired on 1/25/25 at 11:59 pm ET.
them after 60 days on several grandfathered AT&T accounts, and AT&T
only lists three whitelisted models:
Moto g Play 2023 (XT2271-3, XT2271-4, XT2271-5)

The other part - if you activate this by transferring your existing number on Tracfone itself - it extends validity. Not clear if your plan that's expiring in June is on a different provider.
I will also add that the CS ppl on phone are very helpful and make process not too bad.
