For existing customers (or those who buy this phone and once the phone is delivered), there might be additional add-on offers like discounted samsung a9 5G tablet and/or discounted galaxy watch 7 - YMMV:

I'm currently abroad, if I was to order this and can't get it activated in that first month of service, any idea if the phone would still unlock after 365 days?

AFAIK, activation is mandatory for the 365 days unlock cycle to kick in.

Is any MVNO still offering 60 day unlock? Or everyone switched to 365 days?

I would like to know that as well. Based on what I know Metro has the best unlock policy out of all now allowing for unlock without any addition payment/recharge after initial purchase. All others need paid service for minm 6 months (example cricket)

I don't need phone number / service. I just want this device to use it on Wi-Fi as a tablet/e-reader. Does it mean I can get it for $85 + tax out of pocket?

Yes but mint does not sell cheaper devices. Most of the good deals/discounts are only for devices combined with their one year plan service (additional $180 minm) AFAIK

I'm getting $104.99:

TCL NXTPAPER 70 Pro $49.99
$50/mo. with AutoPay $55 for first month $55.00

What am I doing wrong?

Edit: If I pick the $60/mo. plan my total is $85, but can't replicate the $65 subtotal yet.
Edit 2: Never mind, I'm blind.

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

After your order is delivered you'll get an email with an option to activate.
