WARNING: I have been trying to get Total to release my sons cell number to transfer to another carrier since mid-December 2021. We finally gave up and activated his phone with another carrier and got a new number. Several emails, phone calls, and chat sessions have gotten me nowhere, no real person ever returns the call and messages to cancel the service are not fulfilled. I have resorted to deciding to just report the charges as fraud on my credit card and documented the contact attempts. If you want to keep your number, I'd stay away from them. The service was marginally okay for a teenager for the price but personally I would have been very upset to have to change my number. The service is still active and not cancelled.

I do see many people asking about unlocking policy.

Well as per the new policy after take over from Verizon in November,Tracphone has updated its unlocking policy for apple devices to be 60 days post activation if activated after Nov 23rd-2021

That said,I have reached to multiple customer care rep and have even called and the fact that it gets unlocked after 60 days is something they all echoed but there was difference on if it active service or just first month of activation.There is no proven way until Jan 23rd to see when this first set of deals got launched to see how it goes.

The unlocking policy does mention it will automatically unlock after 60 days - But if some one or most of the folks trading in should not have a problem .If you plan to keep this phone for a longer run and use it I would activate the service for the second month to avoid any hassle in pushing Customer rep to unlock .As i did call out we will have to wait to see how it actually works.Its an additional $20-$22 to get some total wireless prepadi cards on sale or deals.

In the worst case if this not does not get honored we can still encash for trade in or other options to sell this for cash.

Any one with still having doubts on the unlock policy can contact customer care for their satisfaction before they jump in - however as i mentioned its more of waiting game as I did realize it was not consistent reply.

But we are screwed as middle class as well. Suppose some one has a small business and getting some payment on ebay.
Small business? If it makes around $600 that's not a business. You can sell few old phones for which taxes have been paid already and even if they're used still end up paying tax on that.I might believe if it was $20K+ for it to be small business but $600 it's just......To me this is straight up borderline poor/homeless level. Actually homeless probably will make more than that by standing with the board hopefully they don't give him paypal then.

Quote from SlySol :
The rsim thing is basically hacking the phone in a way, kind of like jailbreaking. The manufacturers don't want people doing it, but the "hackers" find ways to bypass the phone OS and the companies fix the holes later and new ones are found. It's a constant back and forth and you sometimes need to stay current if you want to keep doing it.
So it is still possible for Apple to re-lock by patching up with ios updates? If so we need another white rsim? This is the one I got

Why don't you just return the phone to TW and ask for a replacement?

Do you have an Apple Store or an authorized repair center nearby? You can demonstrate the touch issue and there's usually same day turnaround for screen replacements.
Well Couldn't find the slots for 2 weeks so thought of sending it for repair to apple directly.. I don't trust bestbuy but how's your experience

$600 total as others have mentioned, but keep in mind they're not going to actually take taxes out. They'll just send you a 1099 and you'll then need to report that income on your taxes (hopefully along with whatever your cost basis for the items was so that you're only taxed on the difference, not the whole amount.
This doesnt apply of trading for gc right lol

I purchased it online on December deals and the phone touch screen stopped working after 2days of mild usage.. still struggling to get a replacement from apple. So far sent the item two times to apple but in both of the occasions they returned it without any fixes saying they can't replicate the issue.

Don't know how to escalate this issue to straighten out those stupid apple technicians whose asses are not working right. This is the first time I had interaction with apple support in past decade and not a pleasant one definitely.
try taking it to your local apple store. NVM, didn't realize others already recommended the same.

From what someone posted recently, it seems like iOS updates aren't an issue and it's only a problem when hitting the Apple authorization server, like if you factory reset the device or want to do it on another one.

Technically, if you make profits from doing that, it should probably be reported on taxes. However, I highly doubt you'll end up getting a 1099 from places for doing the gift card thing. It's when you get a 1099 that you really want to make it's not forgotten, as the IRS is getting a copy as well.

Guys. I just came back from Apple store to pick up my phone for this TW iphone XR repair and inspection. Apple just confirmed with me that not only the display has been replaced with unauthorized part. Now Apple also confirmed the battery has been replaced and being coded to bypass the ios 15.2 detection. Now my phone is showing the Battery Unknown Part message, it wasn't there before i sent to Apple. I.just filed PayPal claim as it is counterfeit product. You need to be careful, even you think you received this look like new phone. Watch out and big warning!
