Got my order for 2 phones delivered today, and got them both activated to start the countdown clock on the unlock. For anyone who bought one just to activate for the one-month plan you purchased and unlock, the easiest way is the automated phone service (the online process wasn't working for me):

1) 1-877-430-2355
2) Press 2 to Activate Device
3) Press 2 for a New Number
4) Follow voice prompt to enter IMEI, ZIP code, create PIN, etc. When asked by the prompt if you want to "add to an existing account", say "No". If you purchased a plan with the phone, it will recognize this and automatically activate the SIM for the plan.

When the voice prompt tells you to power on the device, the instructions were incomplete and unclear. If you've never activated a phone before here are the steps:

1) Attached to the box for your phone is the associated SIM card in a pouch; remove and punch out the nano-SIM.
2) Using the SIM tool in the iPhone box (or a small paperclip), pop out your SIM card tray and insert the nano-SIM.
3) Re-insert the SIM tray into the iPhone and power on the phone.
4) Go through the setup process; I recommend connecting to WiFi when prompted to make things go faster.
5) Your phone should be activated within a few minutes of being powered on with the SIM inserted, assuming you went through all the steps in the automated phone activation.
So no luck at Tega Cay, SC Walmart. They did have at least 2 in stock. The guy was nice looking into it for 30 mins or so. He finally found out the Walmart had to have the WARP system for in-store phone activation so call up or local Walmart to ask if they have that. He mentioned the store in Rock Hill, SC on Dave Wylie had the WARP system.

I'm not going to waste my time going there, but thought I'd help others. Be sure to call the local Walmart you are going to, ask if they have the phone in stock (both stores said online they didn't have stock, but both stores did have them in stock) and ask if they have the WARP system for activation. Good luck everyone.
Yes done it three times now. Use it a few times with the straighttalk network for a few days first though. Text, call, browse then 61 days later unlocked.

Gotta use a vpn. Much higher chance if you add a plan.
I am connected to a VPN but to a different state in US. Are you suggesting changing the country? The plan comes into play only later when phone is added to cart first. it shows out of stock all the time.

Got shot down on 3 Walmarts, refused to honor the ad

I am going to call in tomorrow, and try and get it shipped. Does anyone know of a good contact number, or just call online sales.

Here is what I have

Contact our Customer Service team at 1-800-925-6278 (1-800-WALMART) to provide a comment or ask a question about your local store or our corporate headquarters

Make sure you use the physical sim that comes with the phone to activate. If you use another straight talk or Tracfone sim it counts as BYOD and the phone will not unlock after two months.
Are you sure? I bought two phones from WM and swapped sim and activated it

Not one Walmart within 200 miles had stock yesterday or today.

Not sure they realize how much these bait and switches backfire. Helps me save people from iPhone, so I encourage this stupidity.
Did you go to the store? All stores in my area showed out of stock, but when I visited four , all had multiple in stock. Just none had straight talk reps who could activate and without activation it was $150.

When you swap sim it doesn't activate the sim for unlock in new phone - original sim has to be activated in phone it comes with to register correctly & qualify.

I got Two at my local Walmart but since I've never done this before with straight talk. I paid for the $35 plan but didn't receive a $35 refill card. What do I do now? I gotta get those $35 back but how will they know that I'm telling the truth when I say I didn't get one?

Did you activate in store? If so the 35 dollar credit should already be on the phone. If you just bought the cards and can not find them, that is not good

The cards may have fallen out in your car, etc. Try and retrace you steps.

Cell phone cards are not returnable

But it's giving the unlock date as 60 days from now(on texting UNLOCK)

No, your phone is not active, the phone sim is linked to phone it comes with & using sim from another phone will not unlock the new SE - texting 611 will only give you unlock date of the phone the sim was originally in because that's how it's registered.
I thought so too but I just logged into the Straight Talk website using the SIM card number (not the phone number). I saw that the line was active and I saw a device with the correct IMEI linked as well. So it looks like the activation is automatic even if you don't pop-in the SIM card into the phone.

So I think you can just keep the phone sealed in the box for 61 days and it will automatically unlock.
