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.

I do agree it should be the WIKI actually since currently it's hot pile of garbage thanks to mods I guess.

Yeah, there are so many variables sometimes that people tend to hesitate to add everything to the Wiki. For instance, some users have purchased ST phones and activated them on TF online very smoothly with no issues at all and some have had a bit of a headache getting it going (I've seen a few reports of both in these threads). And I actually had one of each … one activated on TF very easily without even calling for rebrand or anything. Then, another ST phone I had to call and ended up talking to multiple reps for like an hour before they could get it activated on TF. Luckily, both unlocked automatically with no issues though.

Quote from save987 :
I rearranged the steps from gman1960 as this way you can return an unopened box if activation didn't work. These steps worked for both phones I activated. These steps are also on Tracfone website

-I purchased the Family mobile variant from Walmart for $149.99.
-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).
- As instructed by website now I opened the box and put the provided SIM in the phone and set up/registered the phone with Apple.

I texted Unlock to 611611 - Received reply - Great news!!! Your device will be automatically unlocked on. If it doesn't work restart the phone and then text again.

Ordered and received the phone and sim from simplemobile. When trying to activate it, the website keeps saying no coverage in my zip code. Tried zip codes from east coast to west coast, none works. CS is helpless. Any idea what is going on?

May I ask the gurus out here if my only option is to activate the SE I received on Total Wireless? I purchased the Total Wireless variant from Target and then went to Tracfone's website to activate it as a new phone. When it came to entering the Device MEID or IMEI, I got an "_ERR_MSG_FWA_BRAND" error. I rechecked and re-entered and I entered the correct IMEI. Does this mean I can't activate this Total Wireless SE on Tracfone?

No, a number of people have gotten that error with some of the other brand phones. You usually just have to give Tracfone a call to get the activation going. Just say it's a TW phone you're trying to activate with them. Some people also found the automated over-the-phone activation worked better than the online version, but I'm not sure if that's an option when it comes to the "Brand" error and adding a new TF plan.

Also, make sure to specify that it's a brand new phone if it hasn't been activated with service before and you're trying to get the unlock … otherwise, they may set it up as a BYOD phone, requiring another call for unlock.

Thank you for responding! I read through the thread and chatted with a Tracfone customer service representative. I asked her to rebrand my Brand New Total Wireless iPhone SE for Tracfone so I can use Tracfone services instead. She was able to successfully do it. So I don't get that error now. However, upon going through everything and checking out, I made an account, but it said "Alert! Target organization/brand is not the same as the ESN has." Any idea why I'm getting this?

Talked to a Tracfone customer service representative and she was able to activate the phone. However, she could not turn on auto-enroll on her end until after it's activated. So, I had to pay $15 instead of $10.

I then texted UNLOCK to 611611 and got this ⬇️
"Great news!!! Your device will be automatically unlocked on 03-31-2024"

So, yay!

This was not straight forward at all, though, unlike the Straight Talk one I bought during the Black Friday deal on Straight Talk's website (and Walmart). I did not experience any hiccup with that one at all.

Not sure why the issue happens with some phones but not others. However. It happened with a ST phone purchased from Walmart for me once, so it isn't exclusive to the Total ones. Also, I don't recall seeing anyone else mention that second alert about target organization when checking out before.

I activated the Straight Talk one on TF as a TF using included sim & keeping my current number.
Should unlock around the 20th.
So I can buy the Straight Talk one from Walmart and use the sim included for Straight Talk to activate on TF? I see the cheapest Straight Talk plan is $15 but is phone/voice only. TF might have better options.
