Also available with in-store activation on Total Wireless, and you can use the cheaper $25/mo plan to activate for first month and then wait for unlock.

Is it just 'in store' offer? I don't see it online. Online shows refurbished for $129

I don't get it either. There was no signage in store about this. Just the price tag which showed $249 for the phone.

I wonder if it's only available at Walmart locations that have an OSL [oslrs.com] rep?

I have to chime in. Yes thanks for the op for posting it. I took this deal. The trick here is you have to go to a Walmart location with a OSL rep who can activate the phone for you.

Normal Walmart location only has the phones without a activation package on the back of the iPhone box.

I first went to a Walmart without an OSL rep and the store associate could only scan the bar code of the iPhone box and scan the $35 plan card to see the total without anyway getting the $150 off.

I then went to another Walmart with an OSL rep. This time the iPhone box already had a activation package attacked to the back of the box. The rep scan bar code and went thru the system with the $35 plan selected from within the system to get the $150 off. Tax is based on $249 though.

The only thing I am not sure is the unlocking policy. Since Verizon bought tracfone, the iPhone should be unlocked automatically 60 days after activation. In theory I could just buy one month of service for $35 and activate it and don't buy 2nd month of service then the iPhone should be unlocked after 60 days. But in practice nobody could provide a claim this is true. Verizon has had this new policy since mid 2019 but some search on the web never proves one month of service with activation is enough.

So I will give it a test for one month of service and see after 60 days what will happen.

Btw. This $150 off only applies to black iPhone se2, other colors don't have the $150 off

How do you check if a Walmart has an OSL rep?

Call them. In fact I was in the store without a OSL rep. I asked the store associate which store had. But if I am not mistaken the Walmart SUPERSTORE is the one with the OSL rep.

Thanks for being the guinea pig here. I see the deal ends on 5/29. What day will be your 61st/when would you know?

Also, where do you see the "unlocked after 60 days" info? Straight Talk told me under a year incurs a 300 unlock fee (-25 for each month).

Unlocking data point:
I purchased and activated on 3/8/2022.
Phone automatically unlocked today, 5/7/2022, which is day 61.
I activated in store on Total Wireless with the $25/mo plan for 1 month. At the end of the first month I let the plan expire and did not renew, so phone has been inactive for all of the 2nd month.
I went ahead and left the sim card in the phone for the 2nd month; not sure if that has any effect. I put it in airplane mode and have just been using it on wifi-only during the 2nd month while I waited for the unlock.

Can you port in a number when activating this deal? I plan to keep service for two months until unlock, then port out to a cheaper prepaid mvno.
