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

I did not pay for a second month.
If anyone else gets to day 60 with inactive service and feels like experimenting, try connecting to iTunes and / or doing a factory reset. I'd be curious if the unlock info is already out on the Apple server, but your phone is just somewhat slow to make that update unless prompted to do so immediately by contacting the server. (I'd try this in the latter half of day 60 since we're not sure when those unlock lists would go out.) If you do this, make sure to check unlock status immediately before and after in order to see if it actually makes the difference.

I'll try to connect it to a computer later, otherwise may have to give them a call. I did port my number out to Visible after the first month, so maybe that's a difference.

I just tried calling, first CSR says device is not eligible because it is not yet active for 12 months, they wanted $275 to unlock today. Second CSR also mentioned the $275 fee, but said 60 days of active service instead of 12 months. Both times required me to provide a verification code for my account. I wonder if there's a magic sequence for some CSRs that doesn't require verification, as the previous poster mentioned.

Note: The TW SIM will need to be in it.
