Usually, you use it for 2 months for it to be unlocked. Not sure about this one
For Customers with Apple devices:
TracFone will automatically unlock the device when it becomes eligible for unlocking.
For all Apple devices activated with TracFone prior to November 23, 2021, the device will be automatically unlocked after twelve (12) months of active TracFone service.
For Apple devices activated with new TracFone service on the Verizon network on or after November 23, 2021, the device will be automatically unlocked sixty (60) days after activation in the absence of an indication of fraud.
Just picked one up 2 days ago from Metro in store with port in. $60 but also got 2 other phones so allowed $40 plan. Locked for 6 months but will put in sock drawer.
There's too much "fishy" about this deal; I'm going to pass.
The ebay listing says it's new, but I messaged the seller to ask about if it comes with a tracfone sim (the listing says no sim), and in the sellers reply he said "no, because refurbished phones don't come with sims". hmmm.
[edit] When I asked him to clarify, he responded that it indeed was new in box, but didn't come with a sim. Yet all tracfone branded phones come with a sim built in, so I'm not sure what's going on here.
furthermore, I found the same phone from the same seller on walmart.com (can't find the link right now, sorry) and it was listed as "unlocked", with lots of people reporting that it was in fact not unlocked
