Thanks for the link.
So just to clarify: I don't need to have a 3rd month of service? Right? I only need 2 months of service at most. Some posts said 61 days which is one day more than 2 months and that confused me.

That's some pretty confusing guidance. "Activate the TW as a TF line??"

The question is simply about activating a TW phone that came with a SIM card.
Quote from GFam :
TW looks like a lot of hoops to get unlocked - what is the cheapest option to get it unlocked if possible using TF.
He wanted a method with Tracfone.

Quote from HY-SD :
We're seeing refurbs getting auto 60-days unlock now, and those were surely not "with the sim it comes with", as in when it was a brand new phone.

It seems to me as long as you can get it "activated" in some shape or form it will get auto-unlocked after 60 days. We have seen at least 1 case where someone transferred his/her 1-year HSN TF plan to another android phone, and triggered an "activation" and auto-unlocked after 60 days.
I didn't know there were confirms of such cases. To be honest I don't know what's definite either, just the support telling me that it needs to be with the sim it comes with. That's why they transported my old TF sim that I activated with by accident into the new one that the iPhone came with. Gotta wait and see what happens after 60 days I suppose if it even unlocks properly.

when i said there's no risk taker that means there's no documented case whether you need the 3rd month or not. feel free be the 1st to try.

1. They are part of the same family. If you look at the unlock policy site, you will see the logo for all of them on the top for a reason.
2. The TW sim needs to be activated as a TF line. You can do this on your account on TF. This iPhone only unlocks WITH the sim it comes with. This is what I was told by the support. If you use any other TF sim, it will not unlock later and possibly even complicate things. Even if it's a TW sim, it can be activated as a TF sim and then this sim should be used for the 60 day service.
3. 61 days of service for every line. Not just one. You won't get the 7k to use until all the lines that have referenced each other pass the 60 day mark.
4. You can get 3 months of service with around 4.5k pts. With 12k, you can get a year of free service. With 20k, you can get pretty big discounts on phone purchases. This is all of the top of my memory so some parts might be inaccurate.

Both TF and TW had way worse unlocking methods before (12 month). Now, you just need 2 month of active service for iPhones and 2 month of paid service for Android. Of course that is assuming everything goes correctly.
Thank for all you help. So couple of clarifications please

1. How do you activate this phone as a TF? Currently i have an account with neither service. So if i have to use the sim that came how to activate it with TF that still confusing for me. How do i create a TF account with a TW sim
2. I guess TF has 90 day plan for $20 thats why it might be preferable as the cheapest option. So if i activate it with TF somehow will i have to still get the free month that i paid for while buying the phone or will i have to load the TF 90 day plan first and forget about the TW plan? Will this 90 day TF plan unlock this TW phone?
3. Does TF have the same referral rewards as TW since i was hoping to use rewards for the 2nd and 3rd phone. Will i be able to use TF rewards to pay for 2nd and 3rd line?
4. Finally from what folks told me if u want to get reward third month has to be paid for 61st day. With TW apparently someone with usable rewards can purchase a plan for others. Will some kind soul work with me to use their points to purchase 2 months on first line for 5k points? I have 3 lines so that i can refer to you which will net 15k -21k for you - plus the 5k-11k balance that will remain on my account i will credit to you so you will net 15k-26k. I am willing to pay some cash for your original points which u hopefully refund once the points are refunded to u

I am beginning to think I should trade this phone it for the iphone13 with Best Buy.

Basically $175 to upgrade to iphone 13? Do you guys think that is is a good deal?

My only hesitation is this is still a brand new iphone11 but I hate this unlock unknown lol

You can't use points to activate a phone. When I recently activated an iPhone 11 on a new Tracfone account, I used a credit card to purchase the 3 month basic plan and checked the box for autorenew, so it was $17.99 for three months of service. The points will vest and the phone will unlock at 61 days. Then I'll use the 8K points to add service to a different line/account before porting the number out before day 90.

I get u cant use points for new activation.

Case 1
Activate with TW - first month included with purchase. Some king person willing to work with to pay with points for 2nd and 3rd month service on line 1 - which i return withe 15k-21k points back.

Case 2
This is what you did - activate with TF. Sorry to ask you again how exactly do you do this? Do i go to TF site activate with TW sim and pay for plan or do i first have to buy a TF plan and SIM - dont want to mess this up.

This 8000 points with TF u get on day 61 are these from referrals or adding a new line? Will this 8000 points be enough to pay for the 2nd and 3rd line? And again if u cant activate 2nd and 3rd line with points will i then have to pay 17.99 for each one of those too and will not be able to use those 8k points. How do i get this 8k points for each line - will i have to create new accounts to get referral or do i get 8k points for each new line i add to an existing account? And what did you do with your TW plan? Also lets say i accrue 24000 points (still not sure if same account or 3 different accounts - and choose to keep one line - from the 2 accounts that i close will i be able will be able to use 16000 points to buy service on line 1 at the same time and will they just stack? So if i buy $160 worth of service from two accounts that i close after day 90 will that buy me like 9 months that i can prepurchase?

Finally with promo work for refurbished xr?

Thx for all your help - is that what you have done. So just to be clear i go to tracfone and create new account using the BYOD and entering TW sim or do i activate saying tracfone phone and enter phone IMEI number? Either way will any minutes be added from the TW plan that I purchased with phone or do i buy a new tracfone plan and forget about TW plan. Do i add new line to same account or use referral to add new line to new account to get more points?

Thx

Bought the iPhone 11 using the 25% discount and inserted and activated the TotalWireless sim card it came with with a new phone number on Jan 19th. phone says TFW on the left top corner if that means anything.

Today I reached out to customer service to check on unlocking and they said it was after 12 months of paid service. I told them about the 60 day policy and sent them a link but they said they have no knowledge about that.

Anyone else face this> or did I do something wrong? or is the weekend CS staff just plain dumb?

For Tracfone awards, each line needs to be active for 61 days.
1st line: you can get a referral code from someone with 5+ referrals: create new account for 8000 points.
2nd line: you can add a line to 1st account to get 7000 points (15000 total now), or create a new account and use 1st 's referral code to get 5000 points. 1st account gets 5000 too (13000 total).
3rd line: you can add a line to 1st account to get 7000 points (22000 total now), or create a third account and use 1st referral to get 6000 points. 1st account gets 9000 points (22000 total).
If you 1st use someone's referral, then add the two lines to your account, you get 22000 total points.
If you use 1st account to refer 2nd an 3rd accounts, 1st account get 22000 total, 2nd account gets 5000 and 3rd gets 6000, for a combined 33000 points. You can add balance to other accounts.
1000 points = 1GB data, 2000 points = extend service by 90 days. 12500 points = 1500/1500/1.5GB for 365 days.

Did you call the Unlocking Department? (maybe too early as yours is not 60 days yet.) I called them when my Samsung A51 didn't unlock after 60 days (I received a text on 60th day after activation and it said my phone was eligible for unlock, but the website unlock portal didn't work). They sent me codes to unlock right away. For my iPhone 11 purchased from Tracfone, it was automatically unlocked on day 60 (text message saying phone was now unlocked, and I check setting 'No SIM Restriction').

Yes, used my reward points on iPhone 11 for months 2-4. A51 from HSN came with one-year service.
