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.

Should we update? If we got the warning, can we still trade in with apple?
I updated and no issues came from it. FaceID, TruTone and everything are all good. I"m not sure about trading in at Apple with aftermarket parts, i dont think they care because its handled by a 3rd party.. They only care if you take it in for warranty, and they'll be able to tell because they'll open up the phone (i dont think they can tell without opening it up, if it has been properly coded etc which mine appears to be).

Can you elaborate on the "different construction" with more specifics and maybe capture it in a couple of pics? It would be great to be able to make a more definitive determination as far as the screen replacement.
well if i shine a flashlight on it, i can see some grid-ish construction that the other 2 don't have. the curve edge also looks different, it's not as rounded.

but all of those are hard to judge unless you have another one for comparison and heck, maybe the other 2 are aftermarket and this one is real deal lol.

Yeah, figuring out which is which is mainly why I was asking. I figure someone with a known Apple original can chime in and it would be great if we could differentiate them by description so anyone could tell for sure. Can you describe the grid? Like vertical and horizontal lines across the whole screen? Fine lines like a window screen or more spread out like an inch between lines or something? Is it pretty obvious with a flashlight or just at a certain angle of reflection?

If you can't catch the grid with a pic, do you think the curved edge difference would show up in a pic with two side by side? Just looking for a way to pin it down, if possible.

Mine arrived today, looks like new tbh. I updated to 15.2.1 and didn't get any warnings about aftermarket parts. True Tone works as it should. Debating on moving this to gamestop for a quick 180 and buying the $249 new iphone 11 from total wireless. Should I do that or the S21 deal at best buy?

I really wish the 60 days had passed for anyone so far so we'd know if unlocking works as it should
But will GameStop give full $180 while still SIM locked to Total Wireless? Do they consider it Verizon or Other? My guess is Other, even though Verizon owns them now. I'm not going to waste my time at GameStop to find out until it's unlocked.

Verizon = $180
Unlocked = $180
Other = $160

Allegedly it processes under Verizon, at least that's what someone in the iPhone 11 thread said. YMMV of course

Still locked to TW, walked in to Game Stop, just say Verizon, walk out with $180 cash.

I just did it few hours ago. You might need to go to more than one if they say Visa Gift card only and no cash.

so they don't really verify what it's locked to? (although I don't know how they can tell unless there's some kind of Apple database they have access to.)

Hope this helps…got my reconditioned XR just now. Looks new, well packed, has the original USB C - Lightening cable. Originally activated in Oct 2021 per imei check. Battery life 100% (so battery replaced or hardly used, battery completely depleted on arrival) Face ID works, tone works, screen swipe works in all directions 🙂. Came with 15.0, Updated it to 15.2 and no visible warnings. Activated fine. So far all good 👍🏼 planning to keep it.

Will provide more updates if any…

Thanks for the pics. Yeah, looks like it would be hard to tell without another right next to it, but it gives an idea where to look for differences. We could probably hold our phones next to a display model at Best Buy or something for comparison.

They asked if it was locked to Apple account, no. I told them it was still locked to carrier. It didn't matter.

Last time I got a brand new one, it was never activated. This is how it looks like after activation, you still can buy the apple care. This round I am lucky again, get another brand new one which should arrive tomorrow.
