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.
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.

I got the phone, activated and tried txt to 611611 UNLOCK. Received as below.
Great news!!! Your device will be automatically unlocked on 01-10-2024
Since Verizon owns TF brands all phones activate on Verizon & unlock in 60 days!
(T-Mo info is from 2 yrs ago before Vz bought the TF company)

they do not send separate cards for plans (& haven't for several years)
The sim is preloaded
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.

I've been busy these past couple of days but I'll share my experience
I decided to make an order direct from straight talk.
I ordered two black se 3 with the $45 plan on November 7th at 9:38 pm eastern
anyway, I didnt' check the status but they were shipped out. they were supposed to be delivered yesterday but I was not home to accept the phones so the ups guy took them to an access point for pick up.
Today, I went to pick them up.
I was checking this thread but it was a lot to catch up on and saw your post.
I called for each number and started a NEW account for each.
I made test calls and used data and texts and both seem to be working fine.
611611 says the unlock date will be 1/10/2024
thanks for everyone who has helped out.
Oh yea, strange thing when I called up the first time. I used my 15 pro max and when it told me to enter "2" for a new line, I pressed two and nothing happened. I kept pressing and pressing and nothing, the system did not recognize it. Then the system told me to call back using a touch tone phone
anyway, I hung up and called using a regular iPhone 13.
so much for the latest and greatest...
I used my Apple Card to pay for the devices, $185 with tax for 2.
I remember from past experiences that these prepaid companies usually have return to sender if something fishy is going on which would explain the ones without a plan but I'm sure a few slipped through.
reminds me of the refurb iPhone XR and 11 deals
sometimes the first message doesn't register with them
keep texting unlock until you get a response
