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.

I went down the rabbit hole a bit and this is what I found on Total's website Terms and Conditions.

For Customers with Apple devices: Total by Verizon will automatically unlock the device when it becomes eligible for unlocking. For all Apple devices activated with Total by Verizon prior to November 23, 2021, the device will be automatically unlocked after twelve (12) months of active Total by Verizon Service. For Apple devices activated with new Total by Verizon Service on the Total by Verizon network on or after November 23, 2021, the device will be automatically unlocked sixty (60) days after activation in the absence of an indication of fraud.

Also, this is my conversation with a Total Wireless agent.

Phone can use other SIM card after 60 days once the phone is active.

Also they just went out of stock as of 11:18pm EST. Hopefully they restock.

Darn, OOS through totalbyverizon

It let me add the black one to my cart, but when I checked out it said "Our apologies, but we no longer have inventory on the requested product."

I really needed this for my daughters first phone too.. crap.

We are only supporting CDMA phones since we are supported by Verizon network.

I said : So If I purchase lets say the Iphone SE 3rd gen on your website, it cannot be used with another carrier if I choose to do so down the line


Virtual assistant said :
Absolutely:
The phone must be activate in our service at least more than 365 days in order for you to unlock it for free.

Also they just went out of stock as of 11:18pm EST
Sounds like that virtual assistant is garbage.

Right from their unlocking policy on their website:
"For Apple devices activated with new TracFone service on the Verizon network on or after November 23, 2021, the device will be automatically unlocked sixty (60) days after activation in the absence of an indication of fraud."

Walmart Fsmily Mobile also uses Verizon now and should unlock in 60 days. From online:

"It was powered by T-Mobile. However, in November of 2021, it was acquired by Verizon Wireless. Walmart Family Mobile now uses the Verizon network for coverage."

Earlier it probably was 12 month unlock. But since the move to Verizon it should unlock in 60 days.

All three colors are still available.

Make sure you make a call or few text or it will not unlock after 60 days. I have made that mistake before.
Walmart didn't ask for a plan is there something I have to go to the store to activate?

Hey, while we are here, any recommendations for a case?
The walmart 2-Year plan - $34.00 Allstate insurance seems like a good idea if they do cracked screen.

Nimble makes cases from recycled CDs. Can attest to them standing up to many drops on various hard surfaces and yet thin enough to wirelessly charge.

Can anyone verify that it will unlock after 60 days on the Walmart Family Mobile? Also, when can I activate it, when I buy it online or do I have to wait until I get it? It says that the phone won't arrive until June 27th.
