Heads up for people who want to unlock this device:
To find out your unlock date, Activate service through iOS activation(this happens during the official setup of the iPhone,make sure the sim is inserted). After Setup and you received the welcome text, then text the word "UNLOCK" to 611-611 or call 1-888-442-5102. For texting 611-611 if it does not work the first time text a second time, after that it will send the official unlock date.
Steps to officially unlocking the device when it is time:
Step 1: Receive the official unlock text
Step 2: Turn the iPhone off and wait 3-5 minutes
Step 3: Turn iPhone back on and then check the status while connected to WiFi.
After that enjoy your newly unlocked iPhone!

Q: Why did my iPhone not unlock?
A. Here are some reasons:
1. You swapped the sim card that came with the iPhone into a new device, this automatically triggers a denied unlock request.
2. You did not fulfill the 60 days needed to unlock.(Some report you only need 1 month of fully paid service but nonetheless it HAS to be activated.)
3. You bought a refurbished device that has been previously activated before November 2021 which in that case it will need 1 year of service before unlock.
4. Tracfone noticed evidence of fraud and has denied your unlock request.
5. You did not send at least 2 text's or made 2 phone calls during your active service.
6. You did not activate you iPhone therefore your unlock request will be automatically denied.
Note*: For People who want to use this as a trade in, at an Apple store they usually do not ask for carrier as long as it is an iPhone SE and working it qualify's for Trade in credit even if it's locked to a carrier. At Best buy most reps don't ask but reports show some do.
Obvious but heads up it's the 2020 SE (2nd gen) for those wondering.
Bummer they don't have the iPhone mini on sale. The 12 mini was $299 last year so I was hoping maybe the 13 would drop this year. Not even the 12 mini this year. No 5G!
Pretty much the same policy as the others. "For Apple devices activated with new Straight Talk Service on the Straight Talk 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."
So one month service will do it. Looks like minimum $35 for that.

Picked on up an iPhone SE directly from Straight Talk going through RMN and waiting for those rewards to post.
I have 2 Verizon family members that need updated phones and I'd rather not do 36 month commitments with VZ - trying this deal to see how well the process would work for obtaining relatively inexpensive replacement devices.
Activated on tracfone ($15 plan 500MB) with the IMEI by adding a new line. Credit card wouldn't go through the activation, and it went through using Paypal. Now it shows "Unknown device". Call the unlock department. The rep just read the general guidance to me. We will see how it goes at 60 days. The 10K bonus shows up. Not sure whether it will stick.
so I made a new account with total with the iPhone 11 from this deal.
I signed up for rewards and saw the box to put the code in but I had to step out and I got logged out. I logged back in but the box is no longer there.
I thought we had 14 days to enter the code
anyone know If I could still enter a code?

I did make the call and they confirmed the device will unlock in 60 days. Hope it works out.

Has anyone else gotten this? I am on hold with them now, but I'm wondering if I did anything wrong.
