Probably not. I think they are selling these by agreement with Straight Talk and Total Wireless, and from what I remember, both companies will only unlock the phones after 12 months of service with them.

I don't think so. The Moto E6 I just got stated that I had to have 12 months of paid service with them before they'd unlock the phone.

Thanks, both of you.

ATTN GA Russell and anyone else interested.

I have read that the CRITERION FLASH SALE is starting OCTOBER 20, 2020 Noon ET (today) and will last for 24 HRS. The "flash" sale is conducted directly from their website.
I would post a link to the site where I read it but seem to recall that is not allowed...so a small quote:

Quote:

Just received an email announcing the FLASH SALE starting tomorrow at Noon ET. In the last couple sales no PROMO CODE was needed and prices have automatically been changed to 50% after the sale starts.

50% off MSRP (not current/Usual price) all in-stock movies -- DVD, BD, Includes Eclipse set, but not general merchandise. Backorders and pre-orders usually haven't been allowed. Items will go OOS so don't wait too long though the last few sales, many things did come back into stock at least once if not several times during the sale.
The website usually gets hammered in the first couple hrs so be patient.

Amazon 60-hour Savings Event

Sale ends 10/22/20 at 11:59 p.m. CT. Prices valid during, but may begin before and end after, the sale dates. Limited quantities.

For anyone who was in a coma during Prime Day(s) and missed out, or want even more Amazon stuff, this is your chance. I am sorely tempted by the Echo Flex @ $9.99 with free Blink camera and Echo Show 5 with $5 smart bulb and FREE 3 month trial of Tidal Premium (that's the high quality stream) for $44.99 where I managed to resist buying the same items in the Prime sale. What can I say? I am weak. Yes, the 3rd Gen Dot is $18.99 again. And the real Black Friday tsunami hasn't even started yet.

Looks like I need to add a new monitor to my wish list as mine is starting to take 10 minutes plus to come on. It's 14 years old, so I guess time to replace.

Criterion has four 50% off sales a year, two on their own site, and two at Barnes and Noble. The second B&N one is in November.

I'm a Walmart associate and would like to mention that there probably won't be an MP3 player on any of the three Black Friday events from us. We essentially don't carry them in store any longer and the vast majority on our website are sold by third party vendors.

Thanks for the heads up. I was waiting for the last ad to drop before I started erasing categories.
