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.

After the 15.2 upgrade you can check your battery "capacity" …. If it's 100% then you either have a brand new phone or a brand new battery.
My iPhone 11 almost 1 year old phone shows 87% battery capacity ( I seldom use it ) .
It looks like they replaced all the batteries and the screens also ( not if your screen has some marks on it ).

has anyone been able to confirm which is OEM and which is aftermarket?
No, it's all just throwing out ideas right now. Like HY said, it could just be camera angle. I took a few pics of a couple of my older iPhones at various angles and it kind of seemed like grid lines were more visible and square on the OEM one, but again, it may be just coincidence so far. Also, they're different models and I only suspect one is aftermarket. Just looking for possible clues right now.

the Reddit sleuths would probably figure it out in a jiffy.

Mine is like-new. True tone and face both work, battery 100%, no nicks, dings, scratches, worn screwheads, or nag messages.

Easy and cost-efficient way to replace the warden's old XR with screen crack and 90% battery. She didn't care about upgrading, happy to have a new phone.

What a great deal.

Like I posted elsewhere (don't recall which thread :-)), all of these phones (except maybe the brand new ones), have new replacement batteries for sure based on the 100% battery capacity everyone is reporting. God knows what else has been replaced. They weren't lying about "reconditioned"..

Mine also arrived and it looks brand new. I don't see any scratches anywhere, face ID works, true tone works.

FYI … Dollar Tree often carries very basic phone cases for older phones and they have one for the XR (stock varies by store though). It's a simple flexible silicone type of case, but I like them because it's as close to the bare phone as you can get while still providing some slight edge protection. I've been using similar cases since the iPhone 4 and haven't cracked one yet. However, I'm not really prone to drops … maybe a couple of drops onto pavement per year or so. Also makes a good holdover case until you get another one if you wait for a deal.

Their cases are often randomly mixed up, but they're color coded with the insert and/or stickers. The XR is a blue color, which helps find them at a glance if you flip through a line of them. There seemed to be a number of clear ones at my store, but they also had a couple of hard black plastic ones too.
Some locations have tempered glass screen protectors. It's hit or miss. I struck out at 3 locations and finally found a mess of them at the fourth.

Yep, I don't use those, but I've seen a bunch of them at Dollar Tree as well

Got two XRs in, neither of them had the $25 card in the box. Is TW no longer providing the $25 card? I was hoping to sell it to recoup some of the cost.

If you're talking about the color tiint of the screen, you may be able to adjust it. See this post (middle of page 48)…

Received mine also. As others have said, it looks brand new except for a few micro-hairline scratches on the back that you can only see when held at just the right angle. Otherwise, looks perfect. IMEI check shows bought 9/13/2021, so about 4 months old. Still under Apple Warranty is says. Is that true for a refurb?

Updating to 15.2.1 now. Already have an iPhone 13 Pro Max so this will be used to get extra $$$ for a trade-in. Overall, happy.
