Can you wait to activate service for 2 months ?

It seems you can even purchase without any plan. Would it be possible to buy a sim/plan at a later date and then activate and get it unlocked ?
Yes. (based on my purchases with Tracfone) A SIM comes with the phone, even you didn't buy a plan. Use the SIM that came with the phone to activate the service and wait 60 days to unlock. You can use a service PIN or buy service from TW at time of activation.

Thanks. I bought with 25 plan to get additional 45 off with code TAXTIME22

I checked with customer service that the plan does not expire but sim might but 90 days is a safe bet

Not sure if you've screwed up or not, but I would've activated the TW sim on TF as a TF. It's what I just did with my ST 12 Mini & TW 11. I've also done it that way in the past with other iPhones.
If you plan on unlocking the phone I think I'd call the Unlocking Dept & see what they say, maybe since VZ/TF changed the time for unlocking they've changed the way they qualify new phones and (hopefully) just linking a sim with phone IMEI and having service is enough.
Sigh...this was what I was actually trying to do as well, but when transferring the number, it made me transfer the entire old TF sim into the iPhone instead. The new website layout confused me since it didn't use to look like this and somehow this happened. I hope the activation is not tied to the sim or something.

I will try asking if I can activate the original SIM into the iPhone and see what happens. Great.

Right, so you can always use that sim with any other TW compatible phone. And vice versa 🤷🏻 ♀️
Again how's that any different from refurbished units then? You can just take out the sim before turning it on/activating as well BUT as I mentioned the plan and the phone are already tied together regardless since plan activates by using iPhone IMEI (they don't ask for sim number at all), and you can't activate that sim in a different phone and get the plan balance either since there's no refill pin (you'll only have just sim that is already tied to the phone it came in with (be it separately from the phone in the pack or inside the phone already installed)).
You can use that phone with another sim but that might create a mess on that sim account as some reported after some time passes so I think the safest thing is to activate the plan it comes with and after 60 days of service and unlock, then try adding it to a different account/carrier/sim through website dashboard if it allows it so instead of just inserting that sim in.
Because it's under same carrier Apple servers won't reject the sim but then with carrier it might be a different story even if it accepts it initially.

The question was about the sim and phone being "tied" together. Which they are not.
You can too use the sim with any other TF devise, I've done it before. This is not my 1st iPhone post.

before or after activate?

afaik you can't do that with TF, that you activated the SIM on iphone A, take it out and put it in iphone B and expect it to work automatic w/o going through customer service.

For VZ based SIMs, I don't think so.

SIM swapping may "work" but it's definitely not the correct way to do, and may have problems later. I believe other SDers have stated that as such.

Based on the new unlocking policy:

All 3 have the same unlocking policy, so either way it's 60 days.

Plus I'm not telling the user to swap.
I'm simply telling him that the sim will work with any other compatible device

I guess I don't fully understand the context.

"the sim will work with any other compatible device" only if it has not been activated in any shape or form, don't really care if the phone is unlocked or not.

once the SIM is activated against iphone A it's not "compatible with any other device" anymore. it's tied to that iphone A forever, doesn't matter if A or B is unlocked or whatever.

so in the case of that particular new iphone 11 with the SIM in the outside porch, i believe the $25 is already loaded to that SIM and I'm not sure if it's tied to that iphone 11 yet. but if someone activated the plan on that iphone 11 then that SIM is definitely not useable on any other phone anymore.

Nope! Not true.
Refer to comment #1349. His kid will use the phone mostly on wifi, so TF will do on his TW iPhone.
I've had previous users confirm that you can use on other compatible devices 🙄
Again I'm only letting the user know that the plan with his new iPhone 11 is not glued to the phone 😒

correct, the plan is glued to the SIM, not the phone.

however after activation the SIM is glued to whatever phone it's activated on, i.e., tied, and thus my question to you at comment #1389.

Not true😝
I have a TF sim that's 1yr w/ 1.5 k txt and mns. that I often switch between my TF iPhone and TW Phone.
Or vice versa really, except that TW does not offer 1yr plans for $40-$50 like TF

So it "works" for you, great. But definitely not the correct way. There are well-documented cases where things got messed up afterwards if you search around.

I'm the past. But with the new unlocking policy, all 3 companies are compatible.
Its too early to reference back to previous cases.
plus like I said the plan is not glue to the iPhone, that's all I'm. It asking the user to swap, even if others have been successful 🤷🏻 ♀️
