I have a friend with total that did the "free" iPhone 13 with 3 months, he's paid until January.

So he could add this tablet and pay the $45 ($35 for tablet and $10 for the monthly service) and just pay that month and gets to keep it with no other payments?

Thanks for any help

trying to add it for him but I doubt it will work since his promotion is:

Total 5G Unlimited 3-Month

I checked with customer service. I am told that any eligible 5G plan will do. Not the legacy $10, $25 or $30 plans.

I have a 5G plan from their switch from T-Mobile $15 deal and was able to get this deal to work. I'm guessing I can cancel the tablet line after 1 month?

How long do we have to pay to get the tablet unlocked?

I did the Straight Talk deal for the same tablet, it came unlocked but with Verizon bloatware. The only carrier TCL lists is Verizon, so I'd bet money that the prepaid carriers are just repurposing devices.

as another has noted, this doesn't seem to work for everyone. I have two lines with them, both are on the 40 unlimited plan and I see the deal but when I try to checkout I get full price for the tablet minus the plan $40 discount

Try it on an actual PC, not just "desktop mode" on a phone. (Their system is wonky.)

i think thats the corect link: https://www.totalwireless.com/phones/tcl
then: https://www.totalwireless.com/dev...xtpaper-5g Code: FSTR-C3D8 then it should work.

probably doesnt work..., i see now the $10 plan, but the price of the tablet is the regular one.

I don't see this in my Chase offers. Do you need a certain card? I have the Sapphire Preferred.
