This will not work for unlocking. Using the pre-loaded Tracfone SIM intended for BYOD devices will not unlock a Tracfone-branded (or Simple-Mobile branded) phone. The service will work fine, but not the unlocking.
Sign up for the email list and get 25% off. Also, your price doesn't include the plan cost that is required.

It doesn't work that way... Which network the MVNO is using have nothing to do with whether the phone is usable on another MVNO. This phone won't work with Mint Mobile until it is unlocked either after 12 months of service or using things like Rsim.

Btw, Simple mobile phones do work on Tracfone, Total Wireless, Net10, etc because they are owned by the same company.

This where you can check the compatibility on your phone, since I don't have a Red Pocket cell.
According to Google SM and Red Pocket are both under the T-Mobile network, all you have to is put the red pocket sim into the new iPhone before turning it on for the 1st time.

Call red pocket to make sure your specific sim IS under Tmobile' network, since I read they vary from T-Mobile to ATT and Verizon. You have the whole day today to buy this iPhone anyway.

it's Best to check w/a rep first

OR you can buy an Rsim for $10-15 on eBay, unlock the cellphone and use it with your red pocket sim 🙂 let me know if you have any other questions
I tried two different Rsim sellers on ebay and both failed. Who do you recommend?

If you put in the tracfone sim before turn in on the phone for the first time it will start the 12 month cycle, because the phone only requires 12 months of continuous service.

I was able to unlock this way and about 25% of SD users have also reported the same experience, but we don't k ow if it has to do with the phone being an older model ( and newer models are more restricted?)

Since we cannot check phone by phone I also did provide info for the Rsim option.
Do you know what the procedure to unlock after 12 months service? TIA

Quote from cybercho :
I've been reading several posts regarding these SE deals from Simple Mobile, Tracfone, and Total Wireless. The consensus is...it cannot be unlocked after one year on Tracfone. The phone must be used on the MVNO network you purchased it on for one year before it can be unlocked.
Thanks! between your comments and OPs comments, it sounds like no one should count on it. If it happens, I'll consider it a bonus! Still a great deal. Besides, in a year there will probably be a better deal on a better iPhone anyway and this can be for trade or backup.

I don't have a reliable source, my apologies. Also since I'm the OP I can't really recommend much, maybe a fellow user can chime in 🤔

If it doesn't unlock automatically you will have to dial customer service.

But it is best to try Tracfone since it is the parent company, they have the same system.

Best number to dial is below:
(800) 378-9575

I know it works with the $20 talk and text plan but I would only do that deal via the Costco BYOD deal

Just unlocked my iPhone SE 2020 from Total Wireless, activated it in December 2020 after Christmas and have been using it with Total Wireless ever since (current customer). It is my primary phone.

https://www.tfwunlockpolicy.com

I submitted my request through this portal and received confirmation around 4:35pm last night.

I have been checking since then and it still showed SIM Locked to the right of Carrier Lock.

Checked 5 minutes ago and it now says No SIM restrictions to the right of Carrier Lock.

No email, no pop up, it just happened.

I normally shop with mile sites but simple mobile didnt have one. I signed up with BF, got $24.75cb on this purchase, plus new member $10 back, so got $34.75 back on this purchase, so around $100 for this deal.

Quote from RyosukeFC :
For those who wants to use it on Tracfone, you can get the same phone new from Tracfone for like $147 (plan included. w/ code CART15 and autopay enable). $10 more upfront, but you can use it on the $40 annual Tracfone plan to get it unlocked.

Edit: nvm, it is actually out of stock now. Refurb one is still available for $125 using same method
That's an amazing deal. Wish I'd seen that coming when I got my Moto g and 1 yr service.

Here's the refurb page:

https://www.tracfone.com/phone/ap...onditioned

Get 1yr of service and unlock when it's done. Great second phone or kid's handmedown (without data) for that year.

Is RedPocket under that umbrella? I didn't realize RedPocket was owned by the same company that owns SM, TW, ST, and TF.
It's not - and all Tracfone companies are now owned by Verizon.
