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.

My credit card finally posted today for the Monday order. Not sure if it means they are preparing to ship or a dispute/chargeback headed my way 🤷

Well this is weird. My original order from Monday (phone + $35 plan) was "Pending remote fulfillment" until Tuesday afternoon, and then it changed to cancelled. I reordered with the $45 plan and it is at the "Pending remote fulfillment" phase. I happened to check my original order and low and behold it no longer says cancelled, but back to "Pending remote fulfillment." Ugg, didn't need 2 phones.
Looks like people need to be patient, maybe more will be shipped.

I just got the device. I tried to activate it online but got the error that device is not setup for this type of transaction.

So i did chat with customer service and he helped activated it. I can see line with device IMEI on it , in my account.

can anybody confirm , if we have to put the sim card in device and make a call/text or if i will leave the phone as is in the box without setting it up , will it still get unlocked on 61 day? I want to gift it .

Thanks for response in advance

Yes, you should be fine with the auto unlock as long as that device ID actually shows up as your active device on the ST line / device info. You don't actually need to do anything with the phone itself.

Unlock requires activation which requires a plan.

does walmart charge tax on the pre-discount total? Because ST online seems to only charge tax on the final cost.
I got mine at Walmart but was charged tax on $149 ($13.34 tax)

Credit card charges show pending and your $49 phone with no plan will be canceled
Not all, but some $49 Orders are indeed being delivered.

I placed an order late last night but the status was stuck on pending payment approval. So I called their number today morning and the representative told me they have taken care of that and it should ship soon. But now when I check the order status it is empty where previously said pending payment approval.

Oh jeez.

I haven't seen "payment pending approval". I got pending remote approval. I bought it yesterday. They are definitely being swamped with orders and calls. I can't imagine the possible wait time on phone.

I will feel more confident if the black comes back in stock online on straight talk.

SIM card needs to stay in the phone or they will restart 60 days from whenever phone detects the SIM card.

Not sure I understand the comment. I understand why they cancelled it as it had a $35 plan instead of $45 plan. Just not sure why they reinstated it after it was cancelled.

Nope … neither the phone nor SIM ever even needs to be touched in any way as long as that specific device shows as activated on your account. I've unlocked four or five phones that way. Now swapping the SIM around with other phones could cause problems, as it could re-associate the SIM / account with a different device and potentially cause problems.
