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)

If you have a free UPS account it's easier to track since it will show in their system. If UPS doesn't show as pending it hasn't finished processing yet.
Edit...
Shipped today (Thursday).
I called customer service and they answered in about 5 minutes. I was able to transfer service to a Galaxy A15 I got from Tracfone 1.5 years ago that sat without service since December of last year. I also had CS rebrand the phone to Tracfone.
After this monthly plan ends, I'm going to add 2 Tracfone, flip phones I got from QVC ($30), for 2 years of service on the rebranded Stylus.
Can someone recommend a cheap case?

I don't currently have service with either company, but I ordered a phone from Straight Talk in December and another in January because I needed a new phone and later bought a backup. I'd like to order one from Total for a family member who lost their phone, but can get by on wifi for a while, but I don't want to end up on some blacklist and have none of my future orders through any of these Verizon-linked companies go through because there's a secret limit/time, like Best Buy uses. I can use a different credit card, but I have to use the same shipping address.
You're paying for the right to start the unlock clock when you pay for the first month of service at check out,vso why not start the unlock clock? If you decide you don't want the phone in a year or 18 months, it will be unlocked and you can easily sell it for more than you paid for it.
You do not have to cancel prepaid service. Just don't pay for the second month and you won't have service after the first month. Make sure that you do NOT have auto pay enabled. If you do, your payment method will automatically be charged every month. Once auto pay is disabled (if you had it turned on), you won't be charged after the first month.
edit: you won't owe them more to keep the phone. The phone is yours to keep, as soon as you get it. I confused two companies' unlock policies a bit so I'd like to clarify: Metro is the company that only requires you pay for one month and starts an unlock clock 365 days from the day you activate the phone/start service. The phone/line doesn't have to have paid service for the entire 365 days; only the purchase of your first (1) month of paid service is required.
Total requires 365 days of paid service and that 365 day clock starts from the day you activate your first day of paid service.

Phone will be 2yrs old by the time it unlocks so resale will likely be a waste of time - Moto phones only get minimal updates (& they're slow).
