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!

If some other person (like if you sold it) wanted to activate this with TW, can they do so? any other carrier affiliated with TW? Understand it that it will not work with other carriers till it is carrier unlocked but what about the same carrier or affiliated carriers?

- Let's say you want to sell the phone before 5/14 and you want to let the new owner use the remaining service days WITH the number that the phone was activated with, just reset the phone, then ship the phone WITH the original SIM card. It's no longer in any account, so it's not tied to you any more, except the phone number. The new owner can easily obtain a new phone number by texting MINC to 611611 and responds with his/her zip code.
- Let's say you want to sell the phone before 5/14 and don't want to let the new owner use the remaining time, then port the number out of TW, that will end the phone's service, deactivate the original TW SIM. Reset the phone, ship the phone WITH the original TW SIM to the new owner so he can reactivate on TW with a new number. If he wants to use the phone with a sister brand, then he needs to get a BYOP SIM for that brand.
There are so many different scenarios and I don't want to list them all out. Tell me EXACTLY what you want to do and I will reply with what you need to do. Do you want to sell it locked before 60 days or sell it unlocked after 60 days? Do you want to let the new owner use any remaining service or not? Do you want to let the new owner continue to use the existing phone number or not? etc.You can do a Factory Reset anytime to wipe out your info, apps, contacts, texts, call logs, files, pictures, etc. without affecting the phone's service, its lock/unlock status, its phone number (which is stored in the SIM).
