Thank you. I'll check this out when I can. Do you know of the end date?

And something to keep in mind is that the 2 stores I bought from, the deals only require one month if doing multiple lines. The plan price also gets cheaper (per line) with more lines.

Thank you for the help!
I wouldnt recommend anyone ever going into a Total Wireless store. If I calculate the time I spent I could have bought the phones outright even if I made minimum wage.
In-Store only. The phone is highly rated at Best Buy..
Scroll down, and you will see it.

That one month will be ending in a few days. Of course I have turned off autopay.
The offer says only one month's service is required, and the phone model is U1 which means unlocked,
Still, I am wondering if something can go wrong.
I would like to move the phone onto one of my $15 Total BYE BYE lines after the month ends.
I chatted with rep from the reddit Total Official subreddit and she said the phone still needs 2 months service under their unlock policy before it can be unlocked, even though it says 1 month.
Well, I expected she might say that, even though it is wrong, but I just thought I would mention it. I just hope there is not some other form of lock that could be on it. The phone IMEI does say "Prepaid Model" in Samsung's database, whatever that means.
We will see.
I got the Black Friday ON US free S25 FE deal also. It specifies, as you say, only one month's service required.

One thing though, about your Total BYOD plan. I would say they don't qualify. I remember reading somewhere (I think Howard Forums) a discussion about taking devices to those plans. There was some talk that any device with any kind of TF history on the IMEI doesn't qualify. I suppose you can try, but I don't know if I'd risk losing the BYE BYE promo.

Yes I am trying to evaluate the risk of trying it on one of the ByeBye lines. Supposedly you can tell whether the rate will change, by virtue of it being a TracFine device, if you start into itt self serve and watch the "checkout page" to see if the rate would change. I may see how it looks or I may chicken out.
That is exactly what I hoped to hear him say.
So the unlocking part part at ieast is absolutely perfect.
That leaves open the other question about whether to try it in the other account and, if so, whether to just move the old sim or activate it. with a new sim. I think I will/would activate it with a new sim (I have lots) to see any issues up front. Them I would back out if it looks like it would drop the discount.
