This is a great gift to friends or loved ones visiting you from other country, let say for up to 30 days. After that, you or them can use the device with WiFi for some time before it could be unlocked.
I purchased 2 from Straight Talk which were unlocked after 2 months. However, it is 1-year now (and with ST it has to be on paid-service). Metro is having iphone 16e deal if you want to try and trade-in after a year that people have taken advantage of. Otherwises, I'm not aware of any carriers take this Moto G Stylus 5g for trade-in at the moment.

Would love to get this but waiting a year for unlock sucks, that is an unreasonably long wait time 😞 They really should change unlock policy back to 60 days (or less).

Wish this had a custom rom for pure android, it would be a nice little gaming device. There's just a bunch of crap on it. I bought it a few months ago

My Metro G Stylus 2023 unlocked by itself after 365 days, but of course that was a while ago, don't know if anything has changed since.

Unfortunately, after Verizon has been relieved of its boundation to unlock devices within 60 days on Jan 20 2026, this is the easiest and cheapest way to buy a new device with decent specs that gets auto unlock (albeit after 365 days) without paying anything extra after the initial activation. From the carrier perspective it makes little sense selling the devices at steep discount without even breaking even by making the customer pay the overly inflated telecom service, so its kind of a stretch expecting them to easily unlock the devices (within a short period of time like 60 days).
Having said that, this is slickdeals Smilie and here, one expects to get the best possible 'bang for the buck' on a given day, hence the deal. Happy to be corrected.

Based on recent experience with another Motorola device I bought from metro, no it won't work with T-Mobile sim until its unlocked after 365 days post activation.

They could do that, and then you would pay full price. These are heavily subsidized by the expectation that you will pay for a service plan
