The new 60 day unlock policy starting April 1, 2025 [tfwunlockpolicy.com]
For all cellphones Activated on the Verizon network on or after November 23, 2021, the cellphone will be remotely unlocked automatically 60 days after paid Activation and 60 days of paid active service.
IMPORTANT: Motorola will not sell the ADP plan on this phone because it is "a Tracfone exclusive."!!!
This effectively means that the phone is disposable! If the screen breaks, there is no coverage under the standard or even extended warranty. The only coverage on the phone is a one-time replacement of the screen protector through a third-party company, uBreakiFix.
And what's worse, is that you can't even send the phone to Motorola and get it repaired by paying them. They won't repair the phone at all.

The other thing to note - these are bootloader LOCKED which doesn't seem like a big deal, but running "stock" retail US unlocked firmware is a lot better than the MVNO ones.
Basically if you buy this phone from best buy or moto direct etc - you get a "RET US" firmware (Retail USA). If you buy it from a provider like Total - you get an MVNO firmware that has a bunch of loaded bloatware, and your updates are tied to the total wireless / mvno chain, as opposed to the basic non bloated firmware chain.
You can use different sims/carriers no problem - but you will still have Total Wireless bloat and firmware.

You will still need to pick and choose what to uninstall on your own, and do a decent amount of Google work.
Obviously it will be easy to choose to remove things like "Total wireless dashboard" and "really bad clickbait game" - but some of others you will have to use your judgement.
