thanks, yes I know that. my question is
1. does it have to be consecutive? or can I have a break in between 30 days?

2. Can I use/activate tracfone sim on this instead?
Does not have to be consecutive. Just add another month of service and it should unlock after the combined 60 days of service. I don't know the answer to #2.

Do you have a phone plan? Did you check that you are a current customer?

The tablet is unlocked already so you dont need to worry about unlocking it. It can be used on any network depending on the bands. You can look up the device band support vs the bands that your carrier uses.

Straight talk has an interesting deal when I was getting the Moto g stylus 2025 for free with a $55 plan, they were offering to upsell me the TCL 10 tablet for free if I paid $60 for 3 months of tablet coverage $20 each month.

Basically $60 for a 5G capable tablet with three months of service was pretty tempting. But only 4 GB of RAM so I mean that's like fire tablet territory.

It is tempting though just cuz I desperately want to try this next paper stuff.
FYI the ST TCL 10 tablet also was 6GB of RAM. Though I wouldn't put too much emphasis on this next paper "tech". It's just a matte screen that can be achieved with a matte screen protector and a software color overlay. It is not a replacement to a proper e-ink display. Plenty of YouTube videos showcase this. Although it is still a good deal if you are looking for a tablet/media device.

Quote from Straight Talk :
The TAB 10 NXTPAPER 5G provides a glare-free, eye-care blue light-reduction display that allows you to comfortably watch material on its spacious 10-inch screen while maintaining the integrity of the original colors. This tablet allows you to carry all your essentials in a single device. Whether you're comfortably reading the next bestseller or quickly sketching out your thoughts on the paper-like display, this tablet ensures you don't let the next idea slip away. With dual speakers, it delivers an immersive entertainment experience wherever you are. Capture beautiful photos and videos with the 8MP rear camera and 8MP front lens and enjoy enhanced performance and multitasking with the 2.2GHz Octa-core processor and 6GB RAM. With 128GB of ROM and expandable 1TB storage2, facial recognition for secure access, and a powerful 6000mAh battery, the TAB 10 NXTPAPER 5G is ready for your next adventure.

ordered on my total account that had $30 for 2 lines. Will cancel the tablet line later and hope they don't screw up my discount, like they have everytime in the past
I thought about this but I don't think I'm brave enough to deal with customer service 😆 I had enough trouble getting these lines in the first place.

it doesn't accept this promo code because of the "-" I tried typing it without the "-" multiple times but it says invalid. Curious how did you get it to work?

I contacted Total Wireless support, and they stated that when the tablet is bundled with a phone line, the price will appear as $34.99. However, this bundling requirement or discounted price is not mentioned anywhere on the website.

I let a phone number expire a few days back. Reactivated it on the $40 plan (used AmEx $15 off $15 deal). Once verified the number is active again, I added the tablet and $50 unlimited tablet plan to the cart. I could not see the discount at first, but I tried to add a voice line but for some reason it showed that as a separate order and no tablet.
However, I was able to go back to home page and cart showed the discounted tablet price and let me complete the purchase. Something is messed up on Total website as you can't seem to bundle voice line and tablet line in the cart.
