I don't plan on using the phone for actual cell service, so unlocking is not necessary. I just want a decent android device to use. Thanks in advance!
Update: I ordered a number for $5 from numberbarn, enabled SMS on it, then was able to port it to order this Motorola Edge for free + $55 the plan. Thanks FabulousStranger526!

That said, this V version does present a couple quirks when used on other carriers. First is most the carrier bloat can be removed by simply uninstalling or adb with a few...but there is no way to get rid of the device pulse app. Not possible even with ADB on these. You can effectively neuter that app, but can't fully get rid of it. The other is at least with T-Mobile (which I've used on for months now since unlock), native visual voicemail doesn't work and nothing I've tried fixes that. Might be something in the bootloader hard coding the server settings to Verizon or maybe a more generic profile used by tmobile for carrier settings due to the V version. Otherwise works perfectly and is a good phone for what it is, and an absolute steal for under $100 (considering no trade ins involved) waiting just 60 days for unlock.
moto g stylus 5G - 2024 seems a little slower but has SD card capabilities.
the 68w charging is probably the best thing about it
On the other hand, Samsung A35 came with eSIM already installed.
