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.

Thank you and lesson learned. I should've paid more for brand new phone. It is ok, only $130. hopefully Paypal claim will work. If TW wants the phone back, they have to send me the return shipping which they just rejected online.
Yeah, they really should have comped the shipping if you received it with a problem right from the start. It sounds like they can be a pain. Hoping I don't run into issues. Sorry you did … hopefully PayPal takes care of it.

I bought this XR for replacement of my backup iphone 7+. I have another Iphone 12 pro as my regular phone. I think I will just keep this 7+ for a while, at least it is still all original parts. Maybe a good trade in deal for 7+ will come up soon? Thanks Smilie

Thanks for the explanation. Please see this pic as the service receipt from Apple that indicates warranty declined due to 3rd party parts. I just filed claim with Paypal since TW online rep is useless.
I wonder how they are reprogramming Face ID since I thought only Apple can reprogram the Face ID component.

There is a special device to refresh the SN. Any repair center level 3 and above has it. At one point you can get one from ebay, but Apple asked ebay to take the list down. I would say any local small repair shop who claims can replace the screen may indeed has it, even though they should not. This has been a grey area and I feel it is the intentional action taken by apple to be able to against any future lawsuit related to "right to repair". Of course, apple loses nothing as official warranty is void.

Also 3utools on PC if possible. My refurb XR has 100% test result on Verification Report, all serial numbers matched. XR was originally activated in Feb 2021 and still had 100% battery health on original battery? Not likely. Curious to see what is flagged on yours (pchung6) now that Apple has touched it. Sounds like you are done though, and I do not blame you for it. Good luck with your claim.

I found it. Found one online for $40. Tempted to purchase one to fix my iPhone X with a non-functional face id.

Why not trade it in to bestbuy then order a new one? Seems easier to me.

Obviously they flagged the IMEI in their system and revoke the remaining warranty. But it is useless anyway so you essentially lose nothing Smilie

No problem. Only $130 as the max loss and I have a phone with fake parts to show others in the future. It is just very interesting the phone is very much like brand new phone when it came. Without that white dot in the middle of screen, I wouldn't take it to Apple and found out many parts are fake.
