TF has been offering refurbished iPhones at these prices for 5+ months now.

Two iPhone 11 devices that I received were in mint condition (battery count < 10) and under Apple warranty. Both unlocked on 61st days automatically.

Tips: Spend extra $5 to get the $15 2GB plan (with autopay discount) so the phone was usable during the first month.

I am feeling most of these phones are returns, not actually refurbished, that can explain why they are still in apple warranty.

I'm interested, but why is the neg rating for this deal
Is it because the phone is refurbished?
Or, is it because the phone is not cheap enough?

Think you are right. If I got a refurbished one with aftermarket parts or 80% battery that would suck. New ones can be found for less, but wait time for unlocking looks longer:

A few months ago a bunch of people bought $99 phones from tracfone that were cancelled, and it was difficult to get a refund. People are probably still mad about it

I have used these Tracfones at least 8 times with T-Mobile all refurbished and no issues. Would not recommend trading them in to apple tho

There is small chance this phone won't unlock after 61 days. It's my case, unfortunately.

I know this deal is not for everybody but for me & people with tracfone rewards points stocked up it is perfect. Since they nerfed the tracfone rewards aal points to only 500 points I have been waiting for the refurb iphone 11's to come back in stock. $50 oop after using my $300 off code.

Thanks for the heads up op!

Did you call tracfone unlock dept, if so what did they say? Even if its refurbished it should show in your account that you activated it more than 60 days ago

No help with their customer service. I saw same case from another post and end up not being able to unlock. The case is more likely the phone I received was first activated before Nov 2021 (the time TF changed their unlock policy), so even I activate it again, it still need 12 month of activate service to unlock per the old unlock policy. This could happen to the refurbished phone, and I think people should be more OK with newer iphone 11 than iphone XR.

The deal is good if you plan to trade, but if you plan to use it after unlock, this is a risk, even it's small.

Sounds more like you got reps that had no clue - which is a common issue. I've unlocked several of these refurb 11's (as well as XR's) over the past year, only had an issue with one & I sent a complaint to FCC. They forwarded msg to TF which then unlocked the phone. As long as you have a dated purchase order & activation date they are required to unlock per their written policy - you just need a rep to manually fix the glitch in their computer.
Push back.

Happened to one of my TW (owned by TF) iPhone XR. But I called the CS and asked to transfer to unlock department. After 3-4 calls over 2 weeks, I finally reached a very friendly rep (maybe a supervisor) who managed to unlock it manually. TF just needed to submit the "correct" unlock request to Apple and the phone will be unlocked within hours.
