BB selling TW MOTO G 64GB 5G for $29.

You can activate this with TF $15/month plan. When you activate online , you need to pay $10 for first 2 months, so total cost to unlock will be $40.

THis will be a good back up phone in case.

The total final cost calculation is wrong as already clarified by others.

Also I had this phone and for anyone looking to actually use it as a daily driver, this is super sluggish and virtual ram makes it worse. And to make matters worse further, tracfone/verizon bloatware apps are obnoxious (but can be suppressed via some adb tools, if you are familiar. But can't be completely removed). I do not see any user type to which this can be recommended as a daily driver.

Cheapest plan to unlock is $19.99 TFW 90 day 60 min 60 sms 60 mb that is sold for flip phones but works fine with any phone. Can be bought at target, cvs, walgreens, etc.
New activation with the above plan will get you the unlock after 60 days, rewards program with ref code will gain you a little over 1500 points on day 60. Good for 1 month unlimited talk/text 30 day extension or 500 minutes + 1000 sms with no day extension.
If you have an existing line then move it onto this phone it will only unlock once its been on the network for 60 days and at least 60 days of "new" paid service has been added to the existing balance through a refill/plan purchase. The refill can be paid for online, with pin from in store purchase, or with reward points.
Bootloader can not be unlocked on Tracfone model, you can remove the stubborn bloatware (Pulse App) with a combination of Shizuku (grants pseudo-root access through adb) and Canta (debloater app that can remove any app on the phone once given pseudo-root permission from Shizuku). Youtube is your friend for setup.

For reference the easier way without having to use adb is to set up the phone first without WiFi. Then remove all permissions from Device Pulse, then disable Mobile Services. Then turn on Wifi and proceed as usual. Removing Mobile Services prevents the bloatware from being download in the first place.

These instructions apply to all non-iPhone non-Pixel TF phones that I'm aware of

Nope. I just activated and paid $11 only . Just keep autopay on and you will not be charged on 2nd month. I did this multiple times and always got charged for 1st month . Somehow , TF system considering $10 for 2 months . on 2nd month , you disconnect auto pay. Call customer service on 61 day and phone will be unlocked.

I unlocked multiple TF and TW phones with $10 plan for 2 months in past . Only paid $10 on 1st month and never got charged on 2nd month as long as you have autopay on. TF system will not charge on 2nd month and then during 2nd month , just cancel the autopay. Phone will still be unlocked on 61st day

Seems many people are confused. Maybe you can edit your original post and add step by step instructions.

Using TF website, I cannot process with the activation, it said "The provided information can't be found. Review the information and make sure the information entered is for Tracfone." after entering the IMEI. How can you activate it with TF?

Serious question- how much better is this than the Moto G Play 2024 version that is also posted? I know neither of them are amazing but if I actually wanted my young son to be able to use it as a phone, would the Moto G 2025 be significantly or only incrementally better? Hoping someone can actually speak to that, not just "these phones are bad compared to $500+ phones"
