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.

I helped a friend do a port from GV to TW on Oct 21. It still rings inside google voice when I call his number but he is able to make calls with his new moto stylus and the GV number is showing inside the TW website. It's like the port was done half way. I hope this will sort it self in a few days. It will be over 2 days since activation tomorrow.

UPDATE: I tested the phone just now and it is already working properly. Thanks!
