Reconditioned Iphone 12 for $199.

I got the phone with 90% battery health. Original screen. No issues.

Activated with $35 plan and will unlock after 60 days.

Good backup phone or can be use a primary after unlock.

No need to recharge for 2nd month. You can leave the phone as is for 60 days and on 61st day it will be automatically unlocked.

Cheapest is to get one of their $15 a month plans. There are two $15 a month plans, one has unlimited talk and text, the other one has 500 min, 500 texts, and 500mb of data.

Also note that 99% of all "reconditioned" phones (whether iPhone or Android) sold by Tracfone are already unlocked or qualify for unlocking without any need to activate with a plan or wait 60 days. So the first thing to do when you get a "reconditioned" phone from them is to dial #83865625# that will tell you the unlock status. If it offers for you to enter a code, enter the phone's IMEI on Tfunlockingpolicy website, chances are very high it already qualifies for unlocking without the need to buy any plans. If on the second page you get an "error" from the website, just call Tracfone's unlocking department at 1-888-442-5102. If they don't cooperate, just file an FCC complaint and they will do you right in no time as they fear the regulator.
199 + sales tax + 35
It's an OK deal, but not a great one. With battery capacity at 90%, the phone must have been used for at least a year and it wasn't reconditioned by Apple. I've purchased a couple of reconditioned iPhone's (11 and Xr) from Tracfone before (mostly with reward points). All appeared to be customer returns with little usage. I was hoping these 12's were also customer returns, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Yesterday ST lowered brand new 12 and 12 mini by $100 but the price went back today. I think that was a better deal since it would come with Apple Care and you didn't have to buy a plan. You could activate it on Tracfone with $0~$10 and have it unlocked after 60 days.

I've activated Strait Talk phones onTotal Wireless in the past. Can it still be done now that it is changed to Total by Verizon?

Can vouch for unlocking, it's super simple and just takes 2 months. Did it just a week ago with no issues

Do you know if you have to connect to their network to unlock? I might be overseas on the 61st day.
Thanks!

Yes, but you need to buy a plan with this, so why would you do that?
