total is 61.28
Then you should be fine. I am a couple of days into my first month with 1 line, and I already have a $66.xx account balance. They can add whatever they want to that balance for next month. They can't send you to collection for not paying the next month's balance, otherwise I would be on the hook for the $66 account balance with just 1 line. The $40 they add to the next month's balance is just the amount you need to prepay for next month. It's weird that they charge you immediately if you have auto pay on, but that doesn't mean it's just immediately.
Got it, thanks. That's really strange. So they add two months of service plus the prorated amount for the current month. Can't imagine them sending you to collections over payments for future service since it is prepaid, but I have never done this, so who knows.
Btw, another data point on unlock locks. Was able to unlock my phone within 3 mins. You will need a sim from a different provider to bring up the unlock dialog. Total was $14.95.
Tried unlocking my Boost Moto Stylus 2024, but that request failed after about 10 mins and they refunded me immediately.

Almost all of them accept the imei.

I thought Verizon didnt but I was doing it wrong. After using a clean browser Verizon did accept. However seems to be physical sim only they will gray out the esim option after recognizing the IMEI (keeping with that carriers dont seem to recognize this as an esim phone as esim probably isnt officially supported). The only two carriers I have IMEI checked are Verizon and Visible.
Visible does not, here is the message
"Your phone isn't compatible with our network
Device: MOTO EDGE PLUS 2023 BYOD
IMEI: blah blah
Don't worry, we have plenty you can choose from!"
Sucks for me if visible is your preferred carrier. But you can easily use the iphone workaround to get a physical sim with visible, just have to wait 3-5 days shipping.
It seems to have a working slot, but not necessarily officially supported. Depends on carrier integration I guess.
With visible i dont think so unless I dont understand something, I dont think it's possible to use esim with visible on this phone.
If another carrier has a generic process, I assume it is. Some people have used the esim in this thread. If theres something you can click to download a (generic?) esim that should work.
esim is not shown in settings fresh, maybe only after use of an esim, but by all accounts the capability is there.
just the last 2-5 pages there is informative talk about this.
unlock or lock shouldn't matter if i understand correctly.
