Unlock eligibility requirements
We unlock mobile devices that meet the following eligibility criteria free of charge:
The device must be purchased from Metro by T-Mobile.
The device must not be reported as lost, stolen or blocked.
Three hundred sixty-five (365) days must have passed since the device's activation date.
In summary, same device available via:
Metro for $65 ... auto unlocks in 365 days, continuing the service after 1st month/initial payment not required
Total Wireless for $40 ... will never unlock unless paid for 1 whole year of service (which is not worth - better use case is to use it as wifi only or cheaper service via rebranding to tracfone etc, ymmv)
Community Reviews
This is a Moto G Stylus 2025 bundle that stands out as a strong Wi Fi only or Verizon value brand phone, with praise for its snappy performance, bright 120Hz OLED screen, big battery, stylus, and solid gaming or emulation use. It also works well as a spare, kids, or media device, and some setups have been used on Tracfone, Visible, or other Verizon family SIMs. The main catch is the lock, since Total Wireless service is tied to unlocking and newer activations are described as needing 365 days of paid and active service. That makes it most appealing if you plan to keep it on Total Wireless or use it without caring about full unlock later.
Parents setting up a Wi‑Fi-only entertainment device for kids, because it streams, downloads shows, and works well as a small tablet with a stylus.
Retro gaming hobbyists, because the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 handles PSP, 3DS, and even heavier emulation with a controller.
Verizon MVNO users needing a spare or replacement phone, because it works on Visible and other Verizon-family SIMs once activated.
People who want a cheap daily-use Android for basic tasks, because it feels snappy, has a bright OLED screen, and offers solid storage and RAM.
Anyone who wants a hassle-free order or support experience, because reports include rejected orders, duplicate charges, and difficult customer service.
Shoppers who need an unlocked phone right away, because activation on this deal can require 365 days of paid service before unlocking.
People planning to move service off the phone early, because the newer unlock policy requires the device to stay active for the full year.
Buyers expecting easy resale value, because the phone may still be locked after a year and its resale value can be negligible.

I logged into my Total Wireless account. My previous 3 line plan was $45 a month, and now the next payment will be $77 a month for 4 lines. Does anyone know when I can safely cancel this line so that I can have my $45/month plan back?

It used to work, but since last February I believe, they changed the policy

I filed a complaint with BBB and eventually got my refund back.
Although I do have a question: can I disconnect it from my account after that month online or do I need to speak to a rep? When I give away/sell phones I prefer they aren't linked to my account in any way.
