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.

Quote from SlySol :
Yes, I have seen a couple of similar reports on past threads, but there is very little data on it and definitely adds to risk for the unlock. However, the mechanism for unlock seems to be that when the phone is activated on the network (IMEI registered in their system … not the physical phone activation), that IMEI gets entered into a database of numbers which is then transmitted to Apple's activation servers to be unlocked 60 days later. It has been confirmed that no cell service is needed once an unlock has been approved and it gets the update simply with WIfi service and it also doesn't matter if in the US or overseas at that point.
Ok, sounds great!
Want to try to use with the S23 FE for Metro deal.
Thank you for the quick informative response!

Edit: Finally able to create/login to account.
Didn't work on PC, asked for password I never set up.
Tried reset multiple times, each time failing to login.

Followed link on phone after activating, again asked for a password I have never set up.
Followed link to reset password multiple times again, and it finally worked.

Probably not even necessary, as they don't have my payment info, and not signed up for Autopay.

Ordered from StraightTalk website with $45 Silver Plan on Thurs 11/9 @ 1:25pm
Shipping notification Thurs 11/9 @ 6:15pm
Received Mon 11/13 @ Noon
Activated using phone # on SIM packet, instructions here: https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=166909303&postcount=2260

Make a call or two
Text "UNLOCK" to 611611 (had to text twice, got a response the second time)
Phone unlocks 1/13/24

Doesn't show up on online account, probably becasuse I selected "No" according to the instructions linked. Will need to verify AutoPay is off in a week or two,

Thanks!

Hopefully can get another in-store.
Speed test: 11 / 5 in SE MI on this SE 3 (2022)

I think Metro is different. It stays locked for 6 months. AFAIK no one in any of the Metro deals have reported getting it unlocked earlier

Thanks, 6 months is a lot more than 2! It seems like Metro is the same is Straight Talk though, that service is not required after the initial activation.
For this I meant port one of these Straight Talk numbers over to Metro to get the S23 FE. I see posts saying Metro instore is horrible, but I have not been able to catch the S23 FE in stock online.

Question: after activation, will you be able to use the straight talk sim card in another phone and leave the iphone se in drawer? will this impact unlock after 61 days? thanks.

Yeah, someone mentioned last night that they were having problems getting the "password reset" option to work from one browser, but then tried from Safari on the iPhone and that ended up working.

Tried three Walmarts. Two said out of stock (website still shows available for pickup) and one said the activation system isn't working. 🥲

this was a instore purchase, yes i have inserted the sim since last 3 days its failing to activate. waste of time following up with the cs.
Ask them(straight talk) to escalate it and give you a ticket number. Took me 3 days to go through multiple calls and chat sessions. They finally got back to me yesterday and it is working (activated) now.

I plan on disputing the $49(phone)+$45(plan) charge and waiting for the phone-only order.

NVM. Just called ST and a knowledgeable lady can confirm both orders have been canceled even though the site says pending remote fulfillment.

No one in this whole company appears to be knowledgeable, call again and they'll you the phone is still in process of being shipped. Also if that order was really cancelled since last week chances are you would have seen the refund on your credit card by now, at least showing pending status

They are clearly just making stuff up. I talked to two reps. One said it was canceled and refunded yesterday. The today they told me it would be shipping by Thursday. When pressed she admitted she sees the same info approved payment and pending remote fulfillment that we see.
Absolutely, the reps totally make stuff up. I called them 3-4 times and got a different answer every time, or they just disconnected the call.

So, if you have an order in limbo, save yourself the aggravation & don't bother to call them.
These orders will be cancelled, and you will need to do a chargeback if you want to see your money again any time in the next month or so.

I submitted my chargeback request and AMEX posted the credit to my account the same day.
