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.

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

Btw on the shipped email do we need to hit "activate" on the sim card first before we pop it into xr? Odd if we have to activate the sim ourselves?

For me, I will just pay for 2nd month to maximize the chance for it to get unlocked. Then use the points earned from the reward program to get free service for another 2-3 months.
I tried many options, and still stay at $200.
Buying $499 unlocked T-mobile upgrade
edit: do you guys pick "unlocked" or "t-mobile" version on the S21 product page???
If I pick "t-mobile", tradein shows $400
If I pick "unlocked", tradein shows $200
would appreciate someone with a quick answer...
which means that if you ever have to reset your phone, it will become locked again and you will have to insert the rsim again. apple can close the loophole at any moment.
I have used it for friends and family just fine so far.

Who knows if tracfone will unlock these after the 60 days since technically they were more than likely activated before November 20th or whatever date they put.
If it was before the November date, it's 12 months of service.
