I got a refurbished iPhone Xr last spring from TF. It didn't unlock after 60 days, I was told that the device was initially activated before 11/23/2021. For devices activated prior to that date the minimum service requirement is 1 year. could not get Cr to budge. In June I traded it (still locked to TF) in for $700 off iPhone 13 Pro max on ATT at Costco without any issues.
Battery health was 100%
Some people mention a bad replacement screen on reconditioned TF iPhones - I didn't notice any issues with screen.
In August I got another reconditioned XR with $50 off promo (6000 TF rewards points) primarily as a backup for kids when they will eventually break their iPhones. The screen felt a little laggy on that one, not sure if this is due to replacement screen. Battery health still 100%

If for some reason your trade-in gets rejected guys just buy 1 more month of service for $15 and get it unlocked.

"If you have an iPhone and utilize the TracFone network, after 60 days of active TracFone subscription, your iPhone will be automatically unlocked. However, this only applies if you purchased the TracFone iPhone after November 23, 2021."

You can easily turn around and sell it after that for $150-175 and get your money back with a small profit to boot. No risk here really.
Not sure if tracfone is the same as total wireless but I bought the total wireless deal months back and only paid for the first month service, after 60 days it still got unlocked

would be great if this were also true for tracfone. anyone have experience with this.
(BTW - how do you tell it is unlocked? short of putting a new sim card?)

Yeah I bought that TW XR as well and it auto unlocked despite 1 month of service, but figured I'd paste the exact verbiage so no one has to get 3 months total just in case.

Have you ever ordered from Total Wireless? I think they're all part of the same company Tracfone so they track previous purchase limits
Ah that makes sense. Thanks

Wow that's some absolute nonsense from TF. I feel like that might be fraud..you're buying the phone from them for the first time.

Verizon owns both companies now and the unlock two months after activation is their policy in effect.

Couple questions:

1. Would this work for safelink wireless account immediately? Safelink is owned by Tracfone IIRC.
2. How fast does TF ship after completing the order?

Thanks

My argument exactly, but after escalating the matter to 2 more levels of CR still no go. With TF I got so many disappointments it's not worth it to waste time arguing with them.
PS. I checked my recent recon XR and it's totally fine, no issues with screen being laggy.
Also I forgot to mentioned last time - all reconditioned devicesthat I got from TF: 2 Xr, 1 iPhone 11, and bunch of Androids were mint/like new without a single scratch

Yep, same re: quality of the refurbs. These phones were basically new and still had factory applecare. Definitely good deals when getting them unlocked. I've been using the XR as my daily driver for about a year now and have more or less enjoyed the experience.
