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!

The battery isn't bad with 120hz, but the overall it's clearly inefficient compared to TSMC node based chipset. Tensor is a hand warmer so meh.

***EDIT - I'll let you know for sure next week, because my day 60 for 2 Edge 2024s is one week from today.
You can also try these things:
* Connect the phone to WiFi. Go into Settings or Network and look for Unlock Status. It might say Network Locked then after a few minutes changes to Unlocked.
* Bring up the Dial pad, enter #83865625# (which spells #TFUNLOCK#) and see what it says.
* Put in a SIM of a company that's not TF, TW, ST, Net10 and see if it's accepted. That SIM does NOT have to be active.
Try those things and post what happened.

with the website it says my device isn't eligible for unlocking.
with the code it says sim locked.
With another sim I get a 🔒 sign on my phone.
I called the unlock department, they gave me a few codes and when they didn't work the guy said you probably need to rack up 60 days of service.
Context: called up total wireless which said the device was eligible but wouldn't unlock so they said call Motorola which I did and they said it's locked to TracFone so I called TracFone up only for a repeat performance so was told you probably need 60 days of service.
