Walmart Stores: 64GB Apple iPhone SE for Straight Talk (2022) + 1-Month Service Expired

iPhone SE 3rd Generation

SEASON'S SAVINGS!

• Save $100 with any $45 or higher Plan Purchase Required

Straight Talk raised the price to $99 from $49
-This means you can no longer use the loophole of buying it via the Straight Talk website.
It is still $49+ instore

So the steps would be:
1. Buy the phone instore, activate on Straight Talk (any 30 day plan). The online activation process has not worked for many, it's recommended to activate by phone. Instructions to activate through an automated phone service are HERE.
2. Text UNLOCK to 611611 to confirm the Automatic Unlock Date it will reply with exact date. (You will likely need to send this message twice, as it often doesn't reply the first time)
3. Don't have your account on auto-renew, plan cancels after 30 days
4. Wait for 61 days after your activation date
5. The iPhone SE is now unlocked automatically

Walmart In-Store

The Promotion price isn't automatically taken off at normal checkout in-store it rings up full $149 price even with Plan. Need a Straight Talk rep instore to get the discount. They needed to enter the phone and plan on their terminal to get the discount to apply. Then they will scan the sku on the Walmart POS to check out.

If none above works ask for Manager to override it show them the listing on walmart.com if still won't sell it at promotion price tell them its false advertising since they lured you to store and won't honor the promotion price.

Website shows non-instock online at local walmart stores but they did have them in Electronics. Back of Phone Cardboard says ST SE3.

In-store activation requires providing your first name, last name, and a unique email address for each phone. You cannot use an email address from an existing Straight Talk account. Thank you to cvesper, Orang3Beard, LCL121, and Impulse_shopper for the information.

Make sure you provide your email address and the Walmart/ST rep does not input a random one, otherwise your phones will not have a ST account, which could be problematic if need to check the status of your phone's setup online or if you run into any difficulties (like with the service plan not being included with your account due to an error by the Walmart/ST rep). Thank you to llenrad for the information.

In-store checkout flow, according to MrSlickitySlick:

Quote : Warp computer Create new order Straight talk Purchase with activation Next New customer 1st name,last name New email $35 plan Asks for device imei Print documents and then check out at regular Walmart register Ps mobile rep and Walmart electronics rep are 2 different associates, most Walmart reps won't know what they are doing, some mobile reps don't even know what there doing, try your luck

Quote from superDaddy Quote from p0tempkin :
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.

If the wireless rep has having difficulty, try this (thanks, busbeepbeep):

Quote : I spent 2 hours in my local Walmart as the wireless rep wasn't familiar with doing straight talk transaction. Passing this one in case it helps, once they generate the bar code from the Warp, my person was having issue cause she'd bring that to the walmart register and it would only show up as "special order, ST 35 plan" and not the phone. Then she'd scan the phone UPC, which would show $149. After much back and forth, we figured out needed to scan the WARP barcode and then scan the 2nd barcode on the phone, not the top UPC barcode, and it showed up as $49.99. Total after tax for me was like $99.
