Buying this is like buying lottery ticket. I just bought 3 XR reconditioned phones from TW. 2 out of 3 had screen issue with 1 screen is cracked and 1 screen had a sesame size of white spot. The last one was 1.5 yr old and being used badly that you can see wear and tear. I knew others received like new phone or brand new phone, but not in my case. I would be very careful with TW refurbished phone.
lol yeah the xr deal was a lot better, mine was a brand new unit, Model starts with M, battery health 100% and looked perfect, but appears YMMV. Still if I could buy another XR at that price and it wasn't 100% new, I'd still take it to use as a trade in.
I think I'll hold out for them to do a deal like that again.

I also ordered one xr few days back and screen stop working after using 1-2 days… did u get a replacement or refund?
XR at $121 was a way better deal. I would wait for that.
they are not making the xr anymore, so don't hold your breath for that to come back.
this is an awesome deal on a great phone that is better than the xr in just about every way except the screen size, which is certainly important for certain people
the next deal on a larger iphone will be on the 11's when the refurbs start showing up as those that that bought them new and paid monthy for 24 months trade them in to do the same all over again, lol
people giving this thumbs down are probably also anti-vaxers lol

Do you realize how random and absurd your last sentence is ? Good advice. Good advice. Good advice. Close post with political BS. Please. Stop. We can all discuss vaccine policy elsewhere if we feel the need. This is slickdeals. Talk about deals or be quiet.

sorry to hear about your bad luck but i have not shared your experience. with over a dozen phone purchased from tw, some new but most refurbs, they have all been perfect. so go figure.

thanks. you made me laugh.
also, for those that are new to total wireless the deal is ever better than the op stated.... tw has a rewards program that will give you $50 in credit (worth two monthly service plans) for joining and entering a referral code. you can get a code from a friend or find one over on the totalwireless group on reddit. the points appear in the referral account immediately but both you and the referrer have to keep your service active for 60 days before you can use the points... so choose a person that has had service for a while and will be around in two months.

Verizon bought TW and other TracFone companies 11/23/21 & changed the unlock policy to 60 days for activations after that date.
New unlock policy is posted online (& has been posted several times on Slickdeals).
