I bought this phone from Walmart late last year for ~$100. I activated it on Total's cheapest plan and didn't replenish after the first 30 days were up. Turned it off at that point and when I turned it back on about 30 days later (a little over 60 days from activation) it was unlocked.

You only need to pay one month. After the month expires you will have already activated the phone and after 60 days the phone will unlock.

Have bought two XR, one iPhone 11 in the past year with Total Wireless and Straight Talk. Latest was a used 11 bought in January this year, unlocked after one month payment and 60-days.

There are occasionally issues with unlocking.

Message 611611 with UNLOCK and you get automated response when device will be unlocked. Device needs to be activated first for 60-day counter.

In for one.

I like the smaller size as well as the physical SIM slot.

Taxes must be higher where I am. My total even with the discount was $175.45...

Looks like we can order the phone w/o a plan for $149. Will it still unlock after 600 days?
Wow, you're right...

BUT, the discount code doesn't work with no plan. It is only $10 cheaper for me...

Yeah I'm not sure how it would work, whether you could immediately put the t-mobile sim in there, whether it is already locked to Verizon, whether it will still unlock if it is locked to Verizon but you don't purchase a plan to use...

Maybe you can try it and let us know?

Phone need to be activated on either new or existing total by Verizon line to start 70 days counter. It will remain locked for 60 days once you activate. I will not suggest to put sim card in another phone , during those 60 days , even if you donot recharge for 2nd month.

I own this model. Highly recommend. It's fast and has great battery life. I bought mine refurbished so I cannot comment on the unlocking Jedi mind trick this deal seems to present. Verizon actually bought Walmart Family Mobile. I do not recommend.

iPhone 13 chipset vs the iPhone 11 chip. Much stronger battery life . 5g capable. Pretty much the same phone other than that. I liked my 2nd gen too.
