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!

stylus 2024 Total Wireless unlocked automatically after 2 months
I only paid for one month
I put the SIM card in at first and never took it out until it was unlocked
I think if activated it normally and used it, it will be unlocked automatically later.

Received the phones two days later. I bought them both from the same Total account. Immediately activated one with the number from numberbarn.
You need to find "Other" in the middle of the list of the providers to port from. It will ask for account/pin from numberbarn.
No SMS will be sent during this process. The porting happened immediately, I was able to make a call within 2 minutes.
I then bought the second number and it took longer for number to appear in numberbarn, than to then transfer it to the second phone.
With both phones activated I see my bill at $85 (discount), but I also see that autopay is not enabled.
I am going to wait a bit and remove the payment method.
Overall it all went great
Just tried again now and failed
