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!

Does the unlock have to be done manually or is it automatic?
I know for iPhones the unlock is usually automatic.

As per the phone, is there anything to be done on the phone manually to unlock it? Or does the signal automatically come through wifi and unlocks the phone?

It is unlocked automatically.
The cheapest is the $15/month for 30 days of service, Unlimited Talk/text, 1GB per month. TF plans are for people who don't use much data. If you do a lot of streaming, TF is not a good choice.

You didn't buy it from them - you bought it from Total Wireless, they aren't the same.
I know that's been an issue with branded phones from carriers only unlocking for use on original network - in this case Verizon.
Appreciated if someone could confirm works with any T-Mobile MVNO network SIM.
