Trust me they got this phone VERY CHEAP from Motorola. Don't ever rely on their MSRP number. Some people with a low IQ to say they are losing money because we are cheating. Nope they never lose money.

As an aside, I was able to get the missing T-Mobile bands on my a36 using a xda guide and flashing the Samsung stock firmware
Yes, I did also but the 5G on t-mobile is still crippled with the Total Wireless Samsung A35. 4G is fine.

Do TW Moto phones have similar band issues on other carriers/MVNOs post-unlock?

Can I use the SIM on another unlocked phone? Will it erase unlocked eligibility?

I do not have one to test. If your moto model number ends in "V" then it is probably a Verizon specific model and which may have a problem on other carriers. I have not seen anyone report this specifically. I have seen it reported for TW's Samsung A35/A36 phones.

OK, thanks for confirming. WE still need to hear about 5G service on ATT and T-Mobile on (after unlocked) Total Wireless Edge 2025.

I signed up for a plan and paid $30 for the first month. The plan was activated on Oct 18, but they're saying I can only request an unlock after Dec 20 — which is 2 days over 2 months.

Has anyone dealt with something like this before?

Edge was designed for speed, featuring a faster CPU, double the storage, and more RAM. If you prioritize speed, opt for the Edge. Use the Stylus if you really need to use it. I barely use it, so I go for the Edge.
The phone part is that the speed on these phones sucks. Honestly, the phone freezes up too much, and only 8GB nowadays is just not enough. 12 GB is the sweet spot. And Mediatek's sweet spot is 8000+

Not the same scenario. This particular deal forces you to add a 2 month unlimited plan (55x2=110) along with the $50 for the phone at the time of purchase. The phone will be unlocked at the end of the 2 month pre-paid service without paying the 3rd month.

In my case, 2 months and no payment for the third should be ok?

Some people on SD suggested that, if the number is not your main number and you could go for a few days without cell service, to let the 30 day plan expire for a few days before paying for the 2nd month/another 30 days so it will overlap and still be active at the time you could unlock. I can't confirm this.

I have a question about unlock. I got this phone yesterday with 2 months of $55. Can I use its SIM card into other unlocked device? Will it cause any issue for the unlock?

Is it easy to unlock the phone or does it unlock automatically? I only plan to stay with Total Wireless for 2 months before moving to Tello for their cheap data-only plan. Please advise. Thank you.

Is this better the Motorola G STYLUS? The specs are similar
Edge have curved screen so you have to deal with $50 screen protectors

Personally I never want to go back to curved screen again.

Curved screens were great when manufacturers couldn't figure out how to reduce their side bezels, but now everyone has figured it out. There's no reason for curved screens to exist anymore.

I'd rather have the Moto G Stylus.
