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.

Someone replied earlier that they had one from a previous deal delivered and the driver actually came back for it 15 minutes later. And I think I recall seeing one or two others from previous threads saying they received them even after a return request, so it may be a possibility.
If I'm home for delivery, I open the package immediately and then it's mine.lol

I purchased one from total a couple of weeks ago (before the $49 deal sadly) and had the same pouch with the SIM attached. I activated on Tracfone with the $10 plan ($15 plan with autopay discount) and texting UNLOCK to 611611 replies with a date that's 60 days from activation. Looks like it worked fine for me, but it's just one data point.
Which option did you use?

New Phone
One you've purchased through Tracfone.

Or

Keep Your Own Phone
Unlocked phones you're bringing to Tracfone.


Also, did you use the option "I want to use eSIM"?

Never tried it, I always wait till the phone actually unlocks.
If you port out number it closes the account, so it's up to you if it's worth it.
sorry to ask, if I end up not paying the second month plan, will my account be closed?

You select "I have a Tracfone", has always worked for me. I use physical sim as there have been glitches using esim. (Might be working now though, I did it last summer).

You definitely want to pick "new phone" not "keep your own phone" when you click to activate. Otherwise it may end up showing as a BYOD phone and not get the unlock. Or at least that's my understanding of that part. I've never tried the "keep your own phone" option since that seems to be aimed at people wanting to bring over some other already-unlocked phone. New phone makes it clear that it should unlock the way new phones are expected to.

Where do you buy the Tracfone physical SIMs?

Yup I paid 99 at the store also with 35 plan. The shady Bs is Walmart charge tax off $149 and not off $49
It's not shady. That's normal for sale items at most stores.

Phones come with generic Tracfone brand sim - they all say "TF" plus sim number, you need to use it to qualify for unlock as sim is linked to phone IMEI.

If you see the UPS driver pull up, you might want to try to meet him as he's walking up the drive with your hand out. If he hands it to you as he scans it, you might be able to hang onto it if it has your name and address and is a delivery for you. Once it's in your hands, he may ask for it back, but I doubt he'd try to physically take it from you if you refused. And even if the cops were called, they're not going to get in the middle of something like that if it's in your physical possession with your name and address on it. Handing it over before finishing the paperwork would be the driver's issue and getting it back would be civil matter at that point.
Better yet, bring a utility knife with you and cut open the box immediately laugh out loud

Wait, I am talking about the ST iPhone SE 3 that I bought on this deal! It came with a SIM packet. That's what you are referring to as "Greneric Tracfone brand SIM" right? And yes, these start with "TF".

The general erosion of common sense and human decency somehow still surprises me.
