I place the order, did the id verify and gave them a valid number for the port-in. But since the port-in won't happen till I get the phone, I'm possibly screwed because the number will expire in 3 days. Anybody had experience with how total wireless handles it if the promised port-in isn't an option? I'm fine with a new number, it was a metropcs disposable one had for only 1 month (and already extended, hence the 3 days remaining).
Hack that used to work is to activate with a new number while the phone is in transit and not delivered yet.
Someone earlier mentioned that they got the phone next day after ordering. So you may be able to use the Metro number. Else, you would need some eligible number even if it is not the same you mentioned during ordering.

looks like a lot of other phones have also been promoted to be 'free with any plan':

Samsung Galaxy A16 5G
Moto G Power 2025
Moto G 2025 64GB
Moto G 2025 128GB
Moto G Power 2024



While a few other notable offers have gone now:
- iPhone 16e now needs 3 months of paid service purchased upfront instead of previous 2 months on unlimited plans
- iPhone 13 is now $49.99 instead of being free with 3 months of paid service on unlimited plans purchased as bundle
Of these, Moto G Power 2025 is a good choice. Given Moto's 2-year OS support recommend the 2025 models. Display is better in Power and Stylus compared to the regular ones.
Samsung A16 is good but sluggish. Consolation is better OS support than Moto phones.
The Samsung A36, also free is the better phone with more than double the support of Moto. I went to a Total dealer and was out the door at $49.50. Excellent speakers and call quality and very good cameras.

yeah, I texted with a CSR and they said it could only be activated once delivered. BUT maybe it's possible if I speak to somebody on the phone rather than a possible chat bot.

You don't need a 3rd month, phone unlocks over Wi-Fi as long as you meet unlock requirements. It's mentioned in every TW deal.
A phone number requires active service.
it makes me worried that my payment renewal/due date is 11/27/25 but the phone is supposed to unlock a day later on 11/28/25. so should i be worried about that? because if i don't make a payment on 11/27, the phone service will be INACTIVE on 11/28. Does the service need to be ACTIVE on the unlock date?

Is this an in-store only deal? Online requires three months service. Also, to unlock you need two months of service. So you would need to spend another month of service to unlock.
A36 is quite capable but compared to 2025 Stylus, it likely is better in OS Support. Agree that it's better than basic Moto G or Power variants.

Overall, 2025 Stylus or Edge are a bit better than A36.

From bestbuy I bought a 2024 moto g 5g for $20 which was totalwireless Verizon. I called into tracfone and switched it over to them. Bought a $20 prepaid 90 day plan from target. And hopefully in 60 days it becomes unlocked. Although my original plan was using it to get back on a dating app but I did and then unfairly got banned. Neded a new phonw and new number. But I'll probably use the phone with tmobile after its unlocked. it's an upgrade over my current A71 5g from 2021

You are paying for the one month service when ordering the phone. That's the requirement along with port and ID verification. You can choose to get this activated on Tracfone and hopefully it unlocks automatically after 60-days of paid service.

I ordered this 12 hours ago and it's stuck in "Status: Pending remote fulfillment"
Am I the only one? No tracking number. No idea if I'll get it in time to port the number I originally planed to port.

For anyone who has ordered this deal how long does the Pending remote fulfillment last? I'm hoping they aren't backordered.
