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.

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.
LOL i have SE first gen/5
amazing phone
someone stole it, didn't want it
threw it over a 2 story wall into a school yard
went back next day
phone was perfect, not a scratch in an otterbox case.
try that with any of your phones today
and I can hear the other person talking !
try that with a pixel! or a newer iphone
battery still good, some apps don't work but I don't want those apps anyways and the ones that do work have simpler easy dashboards like uber

The a15 processor blows away all those phones you have. Also Moto phone can get unlocked for cheap on fleabay.
It's cheaper sitting in my drawer for another 2 months: free.

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

is that the same for ATT locked phones on existing prepaid or post paid plans?

What's the AT&T prepaid Sim trick?
No one confirmed if this would work and so can't I.. but here's that which is true on fully paid devices like this one in the deal

You put a bare AT&T sim first.
Go to https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/unlockstep1
Select 'No' if you don't have a mobile number with AT&T
Enter IMEI, Agree to terms & click Next
Enter Name, Phone & Email & Submit an unlock request
Confirm unlock request via email

Might or might not work

Where did you get a $40 iphone 11?
You'd need a TARDIS to do that. Metro, months ago. Dead deal.

No, these rules are specific to Verizon postpaid, verizon prepaid, and verizon-owned MVNOs. I can't advise to AT&T policies.

Apart from you can probably sell it for $300 or get trade in value for another phone.
Basically this. Traded in my kid's Total Wireless iPhone XR for $800 last Nov during a Verizon promo. They used to make you wait 12 months to unlock.

Will probably get this as a starter phone for my other kid who is entering middle school.

These prepaid carriers are refusing to start discounting iPhone 12 and up which is when the real iPhones start getting good
This phone came out last year and has the same chip as a iPhone 13.

Quote from stevenswall :
That is really unfortunate how slow the fingerprint is. I was wondering if this would finally be as fast and easy as a .2 second Android phone I can unlock with a fingerprint reader while it's lying on my desk without having to half crawl onto the desk to not have the phone on a desk for Face ID, which I believe actually doesn't unlock your phone, it just unlocks the lock screen, and then you have to swipe that away.

Extremely convoluted these days. Frown
Sadly I don't have the patience to learn a new OS anymore.
It's also nice that anytime I upgrade my iphone all the settings/apps/icon locations carry over.
Tried to move from iphone to android awhile back but it never fully copied everything over.

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.
Just confirming that I got it right, we can buy 1 month plan and let sim be there for 60 days, then it will be eligible for unlocking?

After 60 days, it unlocks automatically or we have to request it to be unlocked?

TIA
