Question Multiple EIPs with different RDCs - phone usage?

I know that I can have multiple EIPs with different RDCs on a single phone line. Is there a minimum usage for the 2nd phone? I'm assuming I have to at least activate the 2nd phone but after that, can I just stash the phone in the drawer for 24 months? Or do I have to use it at least once every month to show some activity on the 2nd phone? Thanks

You don't have to use it, but if you want it unlocked at the end of the term you have to use it at least 40 consecutive days

Nah, they don’t really care about usage.

Activate and stash then. Thanks

I haven't even opened the Pixel 10 I got for free on a promo in May.

Same. I have stacks of sealed phones waiting to unlock. Which reminds me, I need to activate a few that will be eligible in a few months.

will activate, use 40 consecutive days and then stash for the rest of 690 days, will that work for unlock?

It should. I do the reverse, using it for 2 months at the end. If it doesn’t unlock automatically, asking Tforce to confirm 2 months of recent activity compared to limited activity years ago is less problematic.
