"activation of a Total Wireless Prepaid phone and unlimited plan" means you have to pay for a plan too?

Nevermind... It's either OOS or "In stock & Not eligible for Order Pickup"

Well, YMMV with that. I just bought one off the rack for $95 using Redcard still sealed. The associate got a lead to override the system when it wouldn't spit out a GC and created one outside of the sale. So, out the door with an unactivated sealed up phone and $30 GC for $95. No tax in my state.

I believe the No. 1 question for this type of deal is always -

How can we get the iPhone unlocked?

And then there can be a long thread of discussion that does not seem to have a resolution soon...

Everything I can glean from various threads is two options. Try some ebay service for $50 bucks and have a 50/50 chance, or Rsim which works but only for GSM carriers - not CDMA carriers.

Why didn't he activated your device. Can we ask not to?

You don't have to activate a prepaid phone in the store - it's just required according to the advertisement for the $30 GC. I was able to have them give me a $30 GC on a separate receipt because the tags say one is included - but cashiers don't know anything about activating. If you're a Redcard holder you can buy one right now for $95 sealed up with sim on the back of the box. If you're lucky you can get a $30 GC with it without activating.

Did you pay at cashier in electronics or upfront? How did you inform them item has $30GC and if they called someone to check doesn't the tag mentioned about activation?

I paid at the electronics section, but the wireless people had left, so it isn't activated yet.
I showed them the target app, it says $30 GC, they added it separately. It was not coming automatically.
