Note: All Tracfone brands will be switching to Verizon some sooner, some later.

Verizon has announced Page Plus, Net10, and Go Smart are being discontinued and will stop new activation's on 11/1/22.

Reddit link to the discussion of the Announcement: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoContra..._tracfone/

*All customers on an AT&T/T-Mobile based sim have until the end of 2024 to switch to a Verizon based sim, customers who don't will need to find a new provider as your Tracfone brands T-Mobile/AT&T service will be discontinued by end of 2024.

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%

Hopefully you don't get the crap quality replacement screens.

I missed this deal but I think I will get the new one for 179 with my $150 coupon. even tho its more expensive I will still come out ahead for using it for the bestbuy pixel trade in

should I get the $15 plan? Do I need to activate it before trade in?

No need to get the $15 plan if going straight to trade-in

No, plan purchase is not required for the new iPhone XR, so you can just skip. The final cost will be $179.99 - $150 (14,000 points) = $29.99+tax.
You do not need to activate it for trade-in purpose.

I didn't see this in the wiki but it's probably buried within the 17 pages, so I apologize in advance.

Will the device unlock after 60-days even if I just pay for 1-month of $15 service? Or does the service with TF need to be active on day 60?

Thank you in advance.

The initial activation starts the clock ticking. 60 days later it will auto-unlock, regardless if you still have service or not.

Defective upon arrival. The swipe up does not work. Factory reset and it still does not swipe up. Cannot do anything can't even send it up. Spent three calls and an hour and 40 minutes to do a return.
can you tell me how you return it.
the CSRs seem clueless. they could not locate my order on their system; they told me to take it to ups with the label that came in the box. but that label is not prepaid and the return address on there is barely readable

Has anyone traded in a locked tracfone iphone to AT&T and had any issues? Typically the trade in approval takes longer than the return window of the actual phone you get so worried it might be rejected and I'll be stuck with the phone I got without any trade in value.

Wish I had seen this earlier. I did factory reset and now cannot swipe to get past the hello screen.
itunes restore did not complete for me.
apple store did complete restore via USB cable but didn't help. if I can go to previous version, it might solve the problem.
any suggestions on repair apps? ideally
free ones.

Did you try to force restart it ? "Press vol up, vol down and hold power, this will do a force shutdown" Sorry if my suggestion looks stupid just trying to help.

yes; when I power back up it is on hello screen and only way out of that is to swipe up which has been disabled by ios16. Apple store says it is due to third party screen on the phone. So ios16 makes third party screens (like on the Tracfone version) unusable and there is no way to revert back to ios15 if you do not have a backup (I did not backup since I had nothing on the phone when I received it).

I read that it is still possible to downgrade to iOS 15.7 because this version is still signed by Apple. Please read here https://www.iphonetricks.org/ios-...om-ios-16/

You need to do it quickly because Apple may stop allowing the downgrade at any time.
