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) and then text the word "UNLOCK" to 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 12 mini 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.

For trade-in, it sounds too expensive to me. The phone itself is 2 years old and a smaller battery. As others said iPhone 13 mini would be a better deal for keeping device.

Agree with you, was fortunate enough to upgrade to the 13 mini and there was a solid improvement in battery life. I'm hoping we get another iteration next year

Not a deal, last year price was $299, this year should be $199 or $249. It's even more expensive.

Yes we all know it was cheaper last year combined with favorable BB trade in values = a very nice Christmas for myself x 5.

Can you buy any plan to get to the 60-day unlock option? Or maybe, what's the cheapest you can buy? Thanks
