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.

From the information on the iPhone SE 3rd gen, it is recommended to not use any other SIM until the phone is unlocked. My phone was unlocked automatically right on the 60 days without me conctacting anyone. Just activate it and let it sit for 60 days.

Could you order this without a plan and use the $10 ($15 with auto pay discount) tracfone plan to active it and get it unlocked for cheaper total price?

Gen 2 isn't worth it for most ppl. Get gen3. I got mine for $200 and it's worth the extra $.

Yeah the $15 plan is just talk/text with no data probably not what you want if you plan to actually use the phone while waiting for it to unlock but if your only goal is to let it sit and wait for it to unlock then it's the cheapest option. Looks like there are some cashback options too which might get the total cost for this including the month of service to ~$100 or less
