Total Wireless is currently having a reconditioned iPhone XR 64Gb (Black) for sale for $129. Plan is required ($25 cheapest) but you can get a 25% off coupon code by signing up for their newsletter. After applying the coupon, the total will be $121.75 + tax.

Note: The phone appeared to be OOS when I was looking through their phones but I was able to add it to cart on the product page and checked out.

Another good thing is that Tracfone and its sister MVNOs recently changed their unlock policy:

"For Apple devices activated with new TracFone service on the Verizon network on or after November 23, 2021, the device will be automatically unlocked 60 days after activation in the absence of an indication of fraud."

So, you can basically just pay for 1 more month and get the phone unlocked! Also, I am not sure whether their reward program is changed or not (due to the Verizon acquisition), but in the past, you can get referral code and get points to spend on extra month(s) of service.

BACK IN STOCK at 10:10 AM Eastern ( 12/25). Placed an order just now.

New Unlocking Policy [tfwunlockpolicy.com]

"For Customers with Apple devices:
  • TracFone will automatically unlock the device when it becomes eligible for unlocking.
  • For all Apple devices activated with TracFone prior to November 23, 2021, the device will be automatically unlocked after 12 months of active TracFone service.
  • For Apple devices activated with new TracFone service on the Verizon network on or after November 23, 2021, the device will be automatically unlocked 60 days after activation in the absence of an indication of fraud."




If you upgrade to 15.2 can you check in settings to check for genuine parts.

Parts And Service History Not Showing Up
You own one of the above mentioned iPhone models but you still can't see the Parts and Service History section in Settings? This is a good thing, because it means that no repair was made on the device and all parts are still original! NOTE: THE PREVIOUS STATEMENT IS INCORRECT. THESE PHONES HAVE BEEN RECONDITIONED BY A 3RD PARTY WHICH DOES NOT REGISTER THE SERVICE IN THE SAME WAY THAT APPLE DOES. THIS HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED BY USER PCHUNG6 WITH A FAULTY AFTERMARKET SCREEN. APPLE DID NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THIS.

Fact: The service history only appears if one or more parts have been replaced. However, the lack of a service history does not exclude the possibility that parts have been replaced with cloned identifiers. See Pchung6's posts for an example of a replaced part that did not show up.

Hi guys those are really worried about them screen and if it replaced or aftermarket- here is the confirmation I got from customer support - "All our devices reconditioned are brand new devices that were returned by the customer for any reason" and would have original battery and screen


On the other question being prominent in this thread - the unlock policy and if it 12 months or 60 days
Here is the update and I checked with couple of customer care representative just to be sure and this is what I was told
" the device activation date when you receive it and the service activated is considered the date of activation" and needs to remain as an active service for 60 days to be unlocked

Pls. Note the service has to active for 60 days but I have heard conflicting views from a telephone rep and chat rep they all did confirm it's 60 days and not 12 months but one said 60 days of active service and other said automatically 60 days. Those who might still be thinking you can reach totalwireless on a chat and confirm with them for your reference as well
Someone over at Howard forums reported their phone was unlocked today.
XR is an excellent phone for this price. But you should really buy a $1500 13 promax so you can impress yourself and your friends.

Normally, if you go to their site, the newsletter thing will just pop up, but if it is doesn't work, you can go to the main page then scroll down. After that, you should see a box with "enter your email" and then you just need to wait for their email with the code

Does reconditioned give unlocking since it technically won't be the original sim that came with the phone? I heard tracfone is really complicated with the original sim and device being linked together.

Reconditioned phones at the moment most likely were initially activated already on Tracfone network prior to Nov 23, 2021. When they say "activated with new tracfone services", do they really mean the initial activation or the second or third time when the reconditioned phones are bought?

In for one, thanks. I needed a newish iPhone that I could use on W-IFI only and this was the easiest and best deal I've seen over the past few months.

This will get a current Verizon user $800 towards a trade-in. If you have a decent phone currently, maybe worth $100 to keep it
