As of 2:30pm est no, although I have seen some reddit posts regarding total wireless that said their orders arrived (different phones) and the status was still pending remote fulfillment. Update: got a tracking number at 5pm and ups has it.

If I buy this phone and activate with any plan for 2 months, but in between take the phone out of country - will it unlock remotely over wifi at the end of 60 days even if out of country. Asking since it says 60 days of active service needed.

Ideally, it is expected to unlock over Wi-Fi if paid for 60-days and connected to Wi-Fi at the end of 60-days. However, if it does not unlock you would need to bring it back to US and sort it out.

This is no different from buying the service and turning the phone off. It is 60-days of paid service and not necessarily active. They learnt it likely with too many single month accounts canceling and getting unlocked phones. Did it last year with two 2024 Moto Edge.

2025 Stylus is now out of stock.

Does this phone have band 71 so I could bring it to T-Mobile? Also, I've read that wifi calling and hotspot might not work outside TracFone carriers, has anyone got a recent TracFone Motorola working fully with a T-Mobile carrier?

This is the first time I did this kind of deal. I ported in a Google Voice number. I want to know, after the 2 month period, when we end and stop paying for the service. What will happen to the Google Voice or number we ported in? I'd like to keep the number to use on my GV because, although the number has an out of state area code, the last 5 digits matches exactly my zip code. How would I go about that? Do I port it back into GV while service is active (before 2 month period) or after service ended? TIA

You need an active service to port out. If you need to keep the number and move back to GV, you may need to pay for third month. Unlike porting to another wireless carrier, porting into GV could take a bit longer. You also need the phone unlocked after 2-months.
Many use a throw away number for such deals.

Hey, thanks for the info. I didn't need to keep it - just wanted to because the number matching that of my zip code. It's a number I just got for this deal, so I didn't use it for any contacts yet. Also, I just looked up, Google is charging $20 to port a number to GV, so definitely not worth another month and $20. It's unfortunate but lesson learned.
I have some follow up questions. After porting the GV number to Total Wireless when my phone arrived, my GV number would be terminated, I presume. But I would have 2 carrier numbers - my current and TW. I assume I can get another GV number using the TW number, but what will happen to it when TW service ends after 2 month period? Will Google allow me to get another GV number with my current network number? A while ago, I got a GV number and only used it once. But later, Google terminated it for inactivity and didn't let me get a new one. I guess there is a time period for getting a new one because somehow I was able to get this GV number with the same current carrier number.

GV is just a forwarding number. There is no carrier tied to it. I am not sure about multiple GV numbers as I haven't tried it.
After 2-months, switch off Auto Pay and forget about that Total account. Number will get recycled. If you're particular about the number, you can port to a Tracfone one year deal, get another phone and continue using the number for such promotions.

Good luck. I ordered two on my family plan, one in July and one in August. Neither has shipped and I've been told multiple times they are out of stock. Spent over 15 hours on hold, over a three week period, and couldn't get anyone to tell me what was going on. Had to file an FCC complaint just to get someone from TW to call me back. Good phone service, but absolutely the worst customer support I've ever experienced.

The least expensive plan I see is $40 with autopay. Has this deal changed?

For some reason the cheaper plan doesn't show on the plan page but you can find it if you use the search system for 5gb plan. I got the $30 5gb plan as an option after adding the stylus phone deal and proceeding to check out.

Heads up for anyone porting a Google voice number: use the 10 digit phone number for the account number. For the pin, you have to set a pin for your voicemail in the Google voice settings to use that as the porting pin. Lastly, you have to pay the $3 to unlock the number for porting somewhere in the Google voice settings. I had a few hiccups with mine and had to make a few phone calls to total wireless to get it going but I finally got it to work. If you're still having trouble, look up a guide. I've heard sometimes they ask for a zip or even a full address and for that it looks like you might have to use an address for what might be Google HQ in California, but I was never asked.

I think I also had to cycle through a few numbers on Google numbers before I got one that total wireless would accept.
