Deal Details
Updated 8/30/2023:

They now have the 128GB version [totalbyverizon.com] for $99.99. You can just buy the phone from Total by Verizon and activate it on Tracfone's cheapest plan for $15/month ($10 with auto refill) to start the 60 days unlock clock. (FYI, the sim card comes with the phone can be used to activate the Tracfone service)

*****************************

Total by Verizon just reduced their iPhone SE 2nd generation from $149.99 to $99.99 [totalbyverizon.com].

Similar to other Tracfone deals. The phone will be unlocked automatically after 60 days since activation. You only need to pay one month of service, not 2 months. I just got my iPhone SE 3nd generation unlocked from the previous front page deal.

Phone $99.99 + $30 1 month of service = $129.99 plus taxes.

This may not be as fast as the iPhone SE 3nd gen for $149.99 but should be better if you don't want to spend extra for back up.

Does anyone know if you can get this deal at a standard Verizon store? I have a Verizon gift card I was hoping to use and unfortunately it's not accepted on the Total by Verizon website (or the Total by Verizon stores).

very likely good at a Verizon corp store, but for sure not a independent dealer.

Another option is the SE 2020 on Straight Talk at WalMart for $99.99. Pick up a $20. (or less) Tracfone plan, call Tracfone and have them activate it.

A Verizon gift card is good only for Verizon.
This is Total by Verizon a totally different company even though it's owned by Verizon (like Visable, Tracfone & Straight Talk).

I saw that too! But you can use the Total by Verizon sim card come with the phone.

Got my phone yesterday. It came with a Total by Verizon sim card.

I purchased the Tracfone $10 with auto refill (without autorefill it is $15) on Tracfone website using the phone's IMEI. FYI, it asked for the first IMEI associated with the physical SIM card slot, not the second IMEI which is associated with the eSim. My line was showing active on my Tracfone account but my phone shows no service without a physical sim.

I called Tracfone support this morning. The rep got asked me to use the Total by Verizon Sim. He got the Sim card number and asked me to restart the phone. Then my phone can make calls.
Thank you for sharing the experience of activating with tracfone, but what was the actual reason that esim of tracfone didn't work? Has the customer representative shared the reason with you? By any chance? Just wanted to be double sure before I pull the trigger. Once again thank you for sharing details.

Just wanted to share what Tracfone said. They only support the eSim on iPhone SE 2022, not SE 2020.

If you don't like it you return it to wherever you bought it, read terms of the sale from where you purchase it.
(BTW Total by Verizon is a Verizon MVNO & has nothing to do with Verizon retail stores).
