I have two lines, but one activated 3/24 and the other activated 4/2. I paused both lines. I plan on unpausing them after 5/24 to see if the first line unlocks automatic. If it doesn't, I'll unpause both and pay the service. For some reason, when I have both active, the monthly is only $56 at the $55 plan. If I switch either phone to the $40, I lose some kind of discount and it costs more.

Only AT&T and their MVNOs don't accept some phones sold by TW, TF, ST, etc. T-Mobile and their MVNOs accept them all.

Cricket and others will accept the IMEI on a unlocked Verizon mvno from any of their companies..

I have two TW Moto Edge 2024. Neither of their IMEI's passed the Check at AT&T and Cricket. They're still locked, but locked or not does NOT affect the Compatibility Check.

I also got 2 lines. Line 1 on 3/26, Line 2 on 4/2.
I selected auto pay and my next bill is $66 due on 4/26. Like another poster stated, Line 2 is prorated and joined to the closing date of Line 1. That means that Line 2 will not have a full 60 days. Got to separate them somehow. If anyone has any ideas can you please post them?

I have 2 Edges from Total and 1 from Metro. They all fail Cricket and AT&T IMEI checkers. The 2 from Total are unlocked, Metro still locked.

I have 4 lines with staggered activation dates: 3/28, 4/2, 4/7, 4/9. I chatted with TW C.S. and was told although there's a bill due on 4/28 for 4 lines, I can choose not to pay it and each line will be deactivated INDIVIDUALLY 30 days after its activation (you can select each line and see its due date). After all 4 lines have been deactivated, I can re-activate them to add 30 more days to each line. If I reactivate them in the same day, each line after the 1st line will get a reduced rate and have the same expiration date (if I need a 3rd month). The quesion here is whether or not the 60 days of service have to be continuous. Based on data points on another forum from people who didn't have enough service on their phone on the first go-round to unlock, they were able to add more time after a lapse in service and their phone got unlocked after 60 cumulative days of service.
So you should turn off Autopay and wait until both of your lines have expired and reactivate them manually.

Please change the title of this deal to $95 for the phone, since it takes $55 plus $40 before the phone will be unlocked!

What about vice versa on your devices? Does Total edges pass Metro check, and does Metro Edge pass Total check? TIA

My TW-locked Moto Edge 2024 passed Metro BYOP IMEI Check. Of course, the phone will need to be unlocked in order to accept a Metro BYOP SIM.

Let's know if somebody finds a cheaper plans for the 2nd month to complete the 60 days to unlock the phone. what a debacle. it will be hard to flip this phone for over $125. unless the tariff war jack the phone prices through the roof in next few months.

Your right, there is no skin in the game any more.

In addition, multiple lines in the same account give an additional discount to the total bill due. More lines more discount. It is reflected in the invoice.
Hope this helps those who just want to pay the 30 days additional and relax till unlocked, like me. LOL
There is also a 25 dollar TW airtime card for a month at walmart. Could that be used?

If don't know if the TW Airtime card on Walmart is still valid. From what I read on Reddit, TW no longer uses the "Reserved Time Plan" any more. They've replaced it with the Wallet concept. The TW "Cards" sold on Target.com are just GCs with a moneytary value to load into your account's Wallet, and amount deducted is based on the Plan your phone uses.
