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.

Perhaps they held all orders from a certain point in time when they had the glitch until someone manually reviewed them for compliance with their terms.
More worst, they ship out and now request UPS return the package
UPS status :We've received a request from the sender to return the package.

Quote from SlySol :
Actually, the companies are becoming even closer. Many of the ST phones don't even require a call for rebranding any more. Loads of people were able to successfully activate them on TF right through the online portal. As long as you can get it activated on TF, it unlocks 60 days later. I've done two ST phones that way and there were a bunch of others from the last ST thread.
I had one bad experience with that technique last Black Friday.

Quote from FairWallaby2369 :
yeah same here. if they are going to cancel, should at least do that now and issue a refund.
My order was not discounted, I tried calling them and they said I had to talk to credit card company to cancel. CC said it has to be over the pending period to dispute.
Edit
I was too happy red was avail so didn't check on total.

What's the best way to cancel an order with ST? I've called 3 times and they've hung up on me 3xs.
My order is showing Pending Remote Fulfillment, so it hasn't shipped.

Update - ST rep just told me that they have no way to cancel an order in their system even though it's pending and hasn't shipped, so I will have to refuse the shipment when it arrives. WTF? Absurd
Yeah I tried when I got the red se and got too excited that I didn't check total and now have to wait for cc pending status to elapse then file dispute.

Or like you said to refuse delivery but is that a good way of them refunding $$? Seems risky?

Straight Talk deducts shipping charges for both delivery and return.

All NON-DEFECTIVE "Like-New Condition" cell phone returns will be subject to a 20% restocking fee plus a minimum $9.99 shipping and handling fee up to the actual shipping amount paid on your order and not to include promotional coupons

Are you talking about people who paid with no plan or the people who paid with a plan? Big difference. A $35 or $45 difference.

Everybody on this messageboard knew the deal was really for $49 plus plan. I knew it when I tried with no plan. Lets not forget that this thread was for the walmart $49 + $35 plan deal.

The self entitlement is real. I smell flippers!
Maybe you were late to this deal. When the ST deal went live on 11/6 morning, there was no requirement to add a plan. You could just purchase the phone outright for $49. There was no ad, writing or anything on ST site indicating that a plan is required. If you think that people should have some how inferred that a plan is required or tracked multiple threads etc.and added one that's just plain bogus no matter how you frame it. Calling names...scammers, flippers etc....well...I will leave it here.

Its nothing new to them. It will takes 1 to 2 months for refund.
Hey lou nice to see you again but a rookie mistake for me since I got too excited red was avail but I didn't check on total so now I have to wait for cc pending on order to elapse to file dispute since st cant cancel or should I refuse delivery but what if they still dont refund after refusal?

false. it's 60 days after activation, regardless of the 2nd month of paid service.
For all cellphones activated with TracFone on the T-Mobile or AT&T networks on or after November 23, 2021, the cellphone will be remotely unlocked upon customer request after twelve (12) months of active TracFone service.

yeah ship them out or give full refunds. what are they waiting for?
Agree. The charge to my card moved from pending to charged. My order still shows pending remote fulfillment. They should not process the payment until the order is shipped. And at the very least, they should cancel and refund.

They want you to buy the plan from them that fulfills the requirement. $35 plan at walmart or $45 plan at straight talk website.

Just abide by their terms.

If you already have an active straight talk line and you want to find a loophole to flipping unlocked iphones on ebay, it may not work. A new line needs to be activated. Just abide by the rules. Paying $84 or $94 is a good deal.

Even if one got a locked straight talk phone with no plan for $49, it is going to be locked straight talk iphone se 2022. The value isn't going to be that high especially with the flooded locked/unlocked iphones, ebay/paypal/shipping fees. I think some flippers are overestimating their profit. Straight Talk will continue to put out sales too like Xmas sale. Flippers could be setting themselves up for disappointment.

Once the box is open, it is used to me. I don't want to hear from eBay seller that it is brand new open box just to unlock. How do we know it wasn't some used iPhone se 2022 that was used for a year and thrown in a box?
As what you told, they can now change the term to require purchasing $55 plan and cancel all orders whose plan are below $55. Are you a ST shareholder?

How about both?

They allowed people to purchase the phone without a plan. There wasn't some special hack or code to enter.

They allowed people to purchase the phone with the 35 dollar plan, the same as advertised with Walmart.

Only now have they gone back and changed it to require the 45 dollar plan. That's on them, not on the consumer.

So either cancel the order and refund, or ship it out. The fact that the are shipping out orders with the 45 dollar plan that came a day + later and holding all the other orders in limbo is super sketchy.

We'll see I guess. Seems to me they're just hellbent on ensuring a $45 card is attached prior to shipping out. everythng else is in limbo
