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.

Quote from samwathegreat :
2nd month of service is not required. Activating the phone *starts the 60 day timer*. After the 60 days, phone is unlocked by Verizon through apple's servers (that's the mechanism Apple devices use for carrier locks). The phone unlocks in 60 days regardless of how long it stayed activated.

In fact, if you or your friend already has Total by Verizon, you can put their sim in this device, make a call, send a text or two, then put the sim back in their device. 60 days later, this phone will be unlocked....
Thanks for that clarification. I might go for it...but sadly it'll be 30 days too late for my need anyhow.

Quote from Sydney690 :
Can you activate online, without using the phone, and will that start the 60 day period? Do you have to use the phone at al during the 60 days to be eligible for unlock?
Quote from L8onii :
Make sure you make a call or few text or it will not unlock after 60 days. I have made that mistake before.
Confirming that L9onii's statement is correct.

Sometimes , it will not unlock after 60 days. I have a tracfone iPhone 11 and it does not unlock

Weird, I have multiple phones with Total. Each of them after 60 days, I received a text message to the official unlock policy website. Then I entered the info, and was able to unlock the phones.

Can someone help me here--

I can just buy this phone and use it in my postpaid Verizon plan? I don't need to sign up a year for some other plan or other nonsense? Essentially just pay the $160 and be done with it?

Yes, after activated on Total, and the 60-day wait has elapsed. Prior to that, no.

I don't see the value in this, either. I have 2 $40 iPhone 11 and 1 $80 6a waiting for unlock. Plus 4 $40 Moto Stylus 5Gs in a drawer.

$160 on a very small phone with 64GB? Really? I hate my iPhone 12 Mini. Too many apps and websites don't play nice with small screens.
Where did you get a $40 iphone 11?

I think the Pixel 6a deal is much better if you want atleast a daily use phone vs a backup iphone.
Please, which Pixel 6a deal?

Thanks. Prob best backup phone to keep arround at this price. I usually sell my main iPhone a month before new releases so this will hold me over come august. Also the size is a plus for summer where basketball shorts and many outdoor trips aren't so 14 pro max friendly.

The a15 processor blows away all those phones you have. Also Moto phone can get unlocked for cheap on fleabay.

Apart from you can probably sell it for $300 or get trade in value for another phone.

I need a phone for video (adding a 3rd camera to my setup for filming outdoors) and this is cheaper than an osmo or GoPro. Anyone comment on how the video quality is?
