All the details about unlocking, usage, rebranding, etc. are in the original thread from 1.5 months ago:

https://slickdeals.net/f/16729538-total-by-verizon-64gb-apple-iphone-se-3rd-gen-5g-phone-30-days-prepaid-service-157-50-free-shipping?v=1

If you have any questions, give it a read and they're sure to be answered.

NOTE: To trigger the unlock, the phone must be activated as a "New Phone" and must use the SIM card included with the phone when purchased. Do not activate it using a SIM card from a "service plan pack" or it will be set up as a BYOD device and won't unlock.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When it comes to Tracfone brands and the 60 day unlock period, here is what it takes to get your phone unlocked:

When you buy an iPhone or Android through your Tracfone brand the imei is in the system but not the unlock system. To make sure you get your imei into the unlock system you need to text "Unlock" to 611611 and the first time it will not do anything, texting "Unlock" to 611611 a second time will insert the imei into the unlock system and send you the official unlock date. (Note: The previous paragraph has been edited out because it is incorrect. Texting UNLOCK to 611611 is strictly for informational purposes to track your unlock date and is NOT required for the phone to automatically unlock. The phone simply needs to be activated on the Tracfone or related carrier network to trigger the unlock.)

You will disqualify from unlocking your phone if you do the following: Swap the original sim from the device you want to unlock to another phone in the first 60 days, unlock 100's of phones in 30 days(Fraud), Pay with a stolen credit card(Fraud), and others that Tracfone constitutes not qualified.

Note: Tracfone brand iPhone's work on almost any network after being unlocked, select Android devices may have trouble with carrier compatibility on select Networks. Tracfone brand Androids are usually DL models which not all Carriers may support due to whitelisting issues.

Note 2: All Tracfone brands are now owned by Verizon, this means all new activations will be on the Verizon network and will be required to qualify for unlocking phones. Any Tracfone brand AT&T/T-Mobile existing customers will have until Nov 2024 to switch off of your Tracfone brand unless your ok with Verizon only service and will need to ask your Tracfone brand to convert you to a Verizon sim. If not you will need to switch to a T-Mobile/AT&T MVNO or go AT&T/T-Mobile carrier direct by Nov 2024.

Note 3: Visitors from Canada: Confirmed that the phone will unlock after 60 days even outside the United States. Just make sure you are connected to Wifi.

Your comment cannot be blank.

1 month is sufficient.
Bought mine over a month ago from Walmart for same price so this isn't a new deal.
Not true about not shipping to tax free states - mine was shipped to Oregon which is a sales tax free state.
I believe any/all of them. All three carriers are owned by Verizon and follow their unlocking policy.

Yeah, but it doesn't make sense to do that when they have the discounts going. The phone is $99 right now if you buy a plan with it from ST, so $144 total with the plan. But it's $149 if you just buy the phone, so it'll end up costing more that way than buying one with the plan.

Will this iPhone unlock automatically even if it's used for 60 days?

Btw, if you have cap1 shopping you can get $18. I think you can get up to $30 as it says in the description. I've also gotten a few $30 offers on other phones I was looking at on ST such as pixel6 on my cap1 shopping home screen.

Yes, why is below. Hopefully, now people will stop asking the same stupid question about why these phones unlock after 60 days...Clock does not start before activation to prevent fraud and theft.

Per Verge:
If you're wondering why Verizon needs this permission in the first place, it dates back to the FCC's 2008 auction of 700MHz spectrum, which saw Verizon come away with the prized "C block." The rules of that transaction required Verizon to unlock the phones it sold for use on any carrier that devices could support.

By giving Verizon the thumbs-up for its limited waiver from the C block rules, the FCC is mandating that Verizon automatically unlock phones after 60 days — even for devices that are still on payment plans and even if a customer doesn't specifically request it

If you haven't purchased already I'd def browse around on the product page for a couple minutes, you should get a $30 offer in a couple hrs like I did.

FWIW, I went ahead and pulled the trigger on this.

Activated the provided ST sim through the Tracfone without issues - did the $15 plan with 2GB of data, it came to $10 for the first month if I enabled auto-reload. Texted 611611 and got an unlock date of 10/09/2023, then went onto the Tracfone website and turned off the auto-reload.

I'll try to post an update around 10/09 to confirm whether it actually unlocked, but so far so good. Thanks all for the guidance in this thread.
what's the update on this brother.

it might as well be. I am just making sure that it does as information gets outdated and it'll be the first time doing this. hence why people ask over and over again. thats just my opinion though.

Activating ST version on Tracfone worked for me just now, no chat necessary.

Went to Tracfone website, clicked on Activate tab first. Followed the prompts. Was sure to select new phone and not BYOP. Prompted me to choose a plan, then continued with the activation. When all was done I got a text directing me to their activation policy, which was as expected. After an hour or so 611611 sent me a text to try texting Usage to check on my account. I texted Unlock and it responded with a date 60 days from now.

Seamless. Thanks to all.
Did you get a new line?

I purchased the Straight Talk variant from Walmart for $149.99.
I put the provided SIM in the phone and set up/registered the phone with Apple.
I went to the TracFone web site, selected Activate.
Selected New Phone.
Selected I want a new number and entered my zip code.
Selected I want to use the physical SIM card.
Entered the IMEI.
I chose the $15 talk/text (no data) plan with auto pay so it's $10 per month. Then I checked out (you will create an account here). Done!
I texted Unlock to 611611 - Received reply - Great news!!! Your device will be automatically unlocked on 10-09-2023
this is what I was looking for. should be a sticky. ty!
