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

No dings or scratches.
Arrived at my house 24 hours later.
looks like definitely aftermarket screen
what does the warranty say?
Cleared the cache and data and finally worked. In for one. Thanks.
I've ordered enough of these 'refurbs' to know that those are aftermarket screen films ...same ones that come with aftermarket screens
I don't mind. I know what I'm buying.
Should I activate this via email?
If so, should I choose a new number?

Personally, it is just hard for me to believe they spend the time to replace the screen and battery but still have the phone associating with the previous activation. In any case, we will know the answer in 2 months like you've said.
Edit: I will try checking the activation status after I received the phone on https://sickw.com/
