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

Carriers often lock the phones they sell so they can't work on any other network. They're usually locked if money is still owed on them.
Before you can activate on Xfinity Mobile, ask your old carrier to unlock your phone by calling their customer service number. Once your phone is unlocked, you can come back here and complete activation.

Recently I discovered the nyturbo card, (not an endorsement, nor am I affiliated in any way.) I've already fully unlocked 4 iPhone XRs bought from here for myself and others.
the turbo sim fully unlocks the sim card slot, "wifi calling and other carrier features work as expected".
This was all done on ios 15.2.1, I don't personally use xfinity, but I am on t-mobile and so far the XR has been working flawlessly for me after I unlocked it.

the iccid and imsi is updateable, once you unlock your iphone you remove the sim card and run your regular carrier sim card as normal, there's no piggyback like the R-sim.
you can keep using it from phone to phone since it's not a one time use, they can be had for around $6-7, best money I've ever spent for a phone accessory lol.
BTW, for some reason, at this time AT&T prepaid iphone SE was not able to be unlocked using the white nyturbo card, I've tested, T-mobile, Simple Mobile, Total Wireless iphones with 100% success. (on IOS 15.2)
$130 iphone XR + $7 sim unlock = super awesome unlocked iphone deal!

I've been dealing with trying to unlock 2 of my devices/recent purchases to be used on Boost and Mint Mobile (both T-MOBILE MVNOs), but every time the activation fails and rejects my SIM cards after following the procedure the EBay seller provides? I even tried putting the RSIM cards in an unlocked iPhone, update the ICCID/IMSI settings from there to then pop in to the TW IOS device but that does nothing and still fails
I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP, TYSM!!

I unlocked 3 iphone XR running IOS 15.2.1
Here's my tips:
1)If yours is not working right do a "Restore" via itunes.
2)Setup the phone as usual with (original network simcard (TFW in this case).
3)Connect your Wifi.
4)Sign into your AppleID and setup your PIN/Passcode. (edit, you don't need to use appleid, you can just use a pin like 1234, etc.)
5)Once phone is completely setup and you're at the homepage, remove Orig sim and Insert NYTurbo sim.
6)You will get prompted to Activate phone.
7)At activation screen there is a "i" in the bottom corner, touch it and check to see what ICCID is programmed, you will likely need to update it.
8) use 89014103270421601857 for iccid (see nyturbo.com for latest iccid/imsi)
9) use 31041000000000 for imsi (at some point the zeros will stop this is fine)
***It will constantly prompt over and over for the ICCID again but once you've touched "Accept" below it's programmed and you can press "Back" and ignore these popups.***.
10) Observe the chinese words (SeiKou) Touch Accept.
11) At this point the phone will try to activate with the server over the Wifi.
12) You will get prompted "This phone is Activate protected" this is a good sign!
(if you just used a pin code) it will take you back to home page after activation)
13) Touch Use Passcode (use your pin/passcode here), will hang for a bit, then go back to the home screen. (You're Done!)
Double check your work, go to Settings, General, About, scroll down for "Carrier Lock" if it says "No Sim restrictions" you were successful!
Remove the NYTurbo sim and insert your Att or Tmo and enjoy! Applause
