A) Cannot be unlocked by third party services
:
B) Must be activated on Straight Talk for one year to get unlock from the carrier C) Can be "soft" unlocked using RSIM. Only unlocks the physical SIM slot, not the eSim. Soft unlock will last until/unless you reset the phone or take an update through iTunes. (No one in their right mind should be doing the latter at this point). RSIM will continue to work if you take an over-the-air update. |
- Trade-in value of $630.
- You need to currently be on T-Mobile; otherwise you'll need to sign up for a new plan which will have a hard credit pull. Cheapest plan is $65/month for people who aren't seniors, first responders, etc.
- Remove the phone from the box and keep the accessories as they only want the phone.
- They will be checking the screen condition and looking for cracks on the back.
- They will power on the device to see the display condition (you can charge the phone ahead of time).
- They will check the IMEI number and whether Find my iPhone was turned off under your Apple ID settings
- No need to mention which provider and lock status.
- Remember you need to go to Mobile section at Best Buy and not the Pick Up counter.
- There are reports that your new T-Mobile phone from the Best Buy deal can be unlocked in less than a week (within 1 to 3 days); contact the T-Mobile support (T-Force) team on Twitter or Facebook and request unlock.
- Sometimes the unlock process can take longer as iPhones are not bought from T-Mobile directly and are not in their database. They have to submit an email request internally to Apple to get the IMEI unlocked. Once unlock confirmed, check under "Settings > General > About". "Carrier Lock" entry should show "No SIM restrictions".
- After the phone is unlocked, cancel the T-Mobile plan; ask them to pro-rate any current charges.

just click on "skip for now" for everything
It's a small green box. They make the plan and number porting in a huge font and put the 'skip' button smaller.
I was confused going through the process which made it seem like I had to add a plan.
Verizon (Tracfone) now has to unlock phones after 60 days does that apply to this phone
I'll wait to see what Verizon decides to do before I start assuming they "have to unlock". Other sites with a lot of TF users (Howard Forums) seem to think it could be interpreted to mean something different.

Another question, first time ordering from ST and TC... how do I get the cb ? Is it applied to my iphone order or will that be a future discount ?
Thanks !

The CB will appear in your TC account few days later, under ACCT, either ST or TW, depending on which store you ordered

in past it's taken around 2 months for it to be credited & sometimes I've had to contact support to have it applied to my account.
Preloaded sim will work for service but will not qualify for unlock as they are for BYOP unlocked phones.

Maybe try to restart your computer
I just tried to cart another one and it's working just fine.
This time they added another question, if I wanted added protection
I included a pic with the 'skip for now' on the plan

quick & easy for me as well
first time in a while they've allowed purchase of new phone without forcing you to add a plan so that's a bonus if you want to activate with another TF company.
