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!

EDIT: I just checked the iPhone SE3 that was purchased at Total on March 30 unlocked last week.

Thank you for waiting. I have reviewed your account in our system and I apologize for the misinformation. Since your phone is newly activated, it is not eligible for unlocking with only 30 days of active days. New phones that have never been activated require a paid activation and 60 days of paid active service to be eligible.
The information I provided earlier was for accounts or phones that have already been activated. However, since your device is newly activated, you will need to have 60 days of paid active service.

Can the second month be the Bronze plan

Definitely.
Any plan will work as long as it covers a total of 60 days.
$20 cash back on activation from certain place
$5 for number barn
$85 second month for both lines, pay on two more chase cards %25 up to $15, so $60 on one and $25 on another
And I just realized that there is a cheaper plan than the one I was on... I thought I was on cheapest. Damn it. Might try to switch and get money back out of principle :-)

What's the "Bronze plan"? I couldn't find it, did you mean the $40 Base 5G Unlimited plan?
I also found the $30 data plan(that is, no phone number), not sure if that will work...
Thanks!
