If you don't need to unlock then it is $40 for first month service. Total now requires two months of active service to unlock. This phone does not require higher plans. Minimum plan is now $40/month (used to be $30/month).
You can chat with customer service to get second month for $10 for unlimited talk & text with no data to satisfy the unlock requirements (YMMV)

***YMMV***
You can bypass port by activating the phone while order is processing when the IMEI of the phone is shown in your account.
Yet to receive tracking info for the phone ordered 10/13 but could see IMEI in the account and got a new number.
Community Reviews
The Moto G Stylus 5G is drawing interest as a midrange Motorola with a bright display, good sound, microSD support, a headphone jack, and even Qi wireless charging. The strongest value comes from the unlock path, since the phone can reportedly be unlocked after 60 days of paid service, and some buyers have cut the second month down to a $10 Stay Connected plan. The main friction is the Total Wireless process itself, which often requires ID verification and a qualifying port, and the site can be buggy about activation and pricing. Compatibility concerns also linger for AT&T because this appears to be a Verizon variant.

Don't see any auto pay discounts for $30 plan. I am not planning on enabling it and just pay 2nd manually. The purchase triggered Chase offer on my credit card for 25% off for $8.32 back. Have it on my checking as well. Will make use of it for the second month.

I have usb c magnetic tips I have been using, so I also bought this case as a backup 😊, chose "G Stylus 5G 2025"

the magnetic usb c tips 4 ring version (1 ring versions don't do turbo power or usb transfer), might need to dremel out a bit of plastic from the case for the tip to fit😅

Thanks for the reply. I log in but under Manage Lines there are no lines there. My order is set to arrive Tuesday, so if I don't see any way to activate a new number, I guess I'll need to get something to port.
There will be no active lines, but you should see an IMEI in the list and an option to Activate Line. If there is an IMEI, you can activate from here - https://www.totalwirele

No one seems to know if/when it actually gets permanently removed.
