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.

Got 4th XR.

First one had an issue where sim card will just not be read. Tried with 2 different SIMS. No problem since i traded in to Bestbuy.

Rest 3 look brand new. 100% battery, ZERO dirt in all the grills (its really tough to have zero dirt in the ear-piece and speaker grill if its has been used for a few days), also no signs of any scratches at all anywhere.
I got mine with around 8 months used up in warranty and while the speaker grill looked clean it was very uneven and definitely replaced (like someone took off old one and installed new one in a hurry). I'm sure refurbishment company knows which part need to be replaced to make it like new so I'm sure they are switching those out before selling. Not a problem for me as long as it doesn't have board issues like the sim read error or sound or camera, etc because I would definitely avoid asking Apple to fix them since they can scan and find those replacement parts and even if one is not serialized correctly (it could be genuine Apple part but with different serial than what Apple has in their system for that device IMEI) they can remove any leftover warranty on it completely since that would imply that device was opened and "fixed" previously. When Apple does repairs they record serial of replaced even on the receipt so they will know if there are any different ones.

I don't get why some people are unhappy and talking about parts that are replaced. This is a refurb, nobody guarantees that the parts will be original (do you get original part when you wreck your car?).

The deal is great if not happy with the phone, return it and move over.

For $125 I expect perfection.

You can transfer the number to another unused tracfone sim and use it on another phone. But the old SIM is married to that iPhone and I don't think can be changed (in my experience).

I need an iPhone strictly to play music connected to a DAC over Wi-Fi only.
So I can purchase this one, only pay for the one month of service and then never again?

I only need the device, I already have an iPhone which I hate using with my system because then I can't "use" the phone while is with the DAC/Audio System.

I was already planning on buying a used iPad/iPhone on eBay used but this is way cheaper.

Thank you!!

I have a Verizon plan. Can I just remove the TW SIM and put in my Verizon Sim right away or do I need to wait for 60 days to unlock?

Yes one of my local store actually rejected the trade in due to model number mismatch.
Is BestBuy rejecting it for T-Mobile trade in as well ?

I think the issue is for certain people like myself, would prefer original display and oem parts over anything. I use original parts for my car too. Total Wireless could have done better by simply putting a language like battery, camera, Face ID or screen could be restored with 3rd party parts. Although they have no obligation to do so, it will just avoid any potential dissatisfaction. Since I already purchased the phone, it's ok and I just move on and will try to enjoy it by pretending i don't know the parts.

If they follow same check, they will. But just one store, the others haven't started to check the model match yet. At some point, I think they all will do it as these XRs are flooding them atm. They can easily check the model match in their system just the model number is an optional input right now. One of my local store asked me why so many XRs got traded in, they have processed over 20 for the past couple days already. All same model same color of course.

What does "carrier locked" mean?
