Yes, get a port in a number from a different carrier for $20 or less.1) Disable auto-pay (disabled by default unless you change it)2) Don't pay month 2
Do you even need to activate the phone at all to use it as a WiFi device?

Nope if you don't want to activate the sim card but I don't see a reason to not do it

If you do not know what a tcl paper screen is, you may want to look up a video on it. I got the tcl paper tablet from straight talk and love the screen. No more strained eyes at night time. As someone mentioned it isn't great outside. Now I believe these are upgraded screens from the one in my tablet so they may be better outside now.

This has happened to me before and it was because they were seeing I was trying to port in a Google Voice number and it was auto-rejecting at the checkout. I had successfully ported a Google Voice number before but the second separate order got flagged and they had to manually send it to the department for processing and review. I didn't proceed with the second order in the end due to a time crunch of leaving the country and the phone wouldn't arrive in time for me to activate. Hope this helps.

How many lines can you add to a Metro account now? I have 2 phones and a tablet and can't add another line online ("Please contact us to complete your order"). Tried different shipping/billing addresses, cards and names.

Is any MVNO still offering 60 day unlock? Or everyone switched to 365 days?
Spectrum is still 60 days, but you have to have Spectrum internet.

You have to activate it to be able to unlock it 365 days later.

As I recall there was a way to activate the sim via an email or on the website at purchase time or am I getting confused with another offer?

According to perplexity (which doesn't mean it's accurate): Yes — Metro SIMs can be activated online, and in some cases the activation email is the starting point for that flow. Metro's activation page says customers who had devices shipped to them should use the activation email they received, and that if the flow doesn't work they can activate through the website or call customer care.

In the shipping confirmation email there will be a hyperlinked word HERE that links to Check Order Status page, after displaying Order Status results the page will contain an activation link.

Interested in knowing if you can port a Google Voice number to this also. I just want it as a WIFI device for $55 but haven't figured out what to select to buy to do that
