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.

Another day with my 11/6 order stuck in "Pending remote fulfillment". I'm holding out hope plus I got 30 days from the day of transaction to dispute it with my CC, but this is getting silly.

Quote from Dealzcat :
IMO, for the most part, they will ship

First, Walmart is handling the sell like Larry, Moe and Curly, which will lead to a glut of unsold inventory.

Second, Straight Talk has consistently had inventory available

Third, Verizon has 4th quarter and year end earning to report. They last reported home and business wireless services boosted third-quarter earnings even as the telecom giant lost cellular subscribers, and that EPS for the third quarter was $1.22, lower than the year ago quarter but higher than analyst expectations of $1.18.

(Full disclosure, I am waiting for my 4 pack to ship Smilie)

Both my orders from Monday have pending refunds on credit card site so the refunds have not officially posted but they look like they will.


I did not ask to cancel, I did not get any email updates. I did however call on Friday and ask when my phones would be shipped and created two support tickets, one for each order. Its possible the resolution of support ticket was to cancel my orders.

i used paypal..and reported a problem as if it was not shipped

paypal credited while looking into the issue
......does this fall in to Ban categoy even with paypal.

how do we know they banned - doesn't allow to purchase again?

name - cannot be unique.
addr - people stay in aprt will not have same addr
credit card- card number can be changed

how else they can ban for their mistake

How did PP already give you the money back? I filed a dispute yesterday and they are waiting for them to respond. They have 5 days to respond.

Just checked my credit card, and I do not have a pending refund for my one order that is stuck in limbo. Posted charge is dated 11/6, and my Amex Savings Reward credit is dated 11/7. I have not called/chatted with ST.

anyone who dealt with tracfone/straight-talk/etc before on this kind of deal (like the iphone 11 from last year) know this is 100% not happening.

good luck. Smilie

Ordered first thing on the 6th...I ordered with the $45 plan and it has been stuck in "pending remote fulfilment". Just chatted and they said they needed to call me because they could not see enough in chat. Called me back a few minutes later and told me I need to dispute with my bank. They said they will not ship, cancel or refund my money. My only option is to contact my bank. I begged them to just cancel on their end so I did not have to file a dispute and they said they would not do it. I know there are a handful of Straight Talk defenders around here, but I truly don't know if I have ever seen a more difficult company to deal with.

What was their reasoning?I was just informed that my orders from Monday (with $35 plan) were cancelled because they did not meet the terms of the promotion but the agent could not tell me why. She said refunds were issue which is why I see it pending. I still have one final order that I made Wednesday night in shipping limbo.


The rep also advised me that all IPhone SE and IPhone 11 promotions going forwards will need to be made at a Walmart store

You have to activate the phones with the SIM card that comes with it. Activate and then give it to them to use as WiFi devices. There is no advantage to not activating immediately.
I want to wait a couple of months before I activate the plans because that way I can use the month that I've paid for (I can't leave my current non-ST plan until then due to account credits). So I was hoping I could activate the phones now via wi-fi (without inserting the ST SIMs) and without triggering the plans to start. They would be used as wi-if only devices. Then when I'm ready to switch over to ST I would do the ST activation online or via the phone as described earlier in this thread. If this would require the phones to be reset and the ST SIM cards to be inserted at that time that is ok too.

If what I have described is not possible then I could just wait before giving the phones away (after activating them with the ST SIMs).

In either case I realize that the carrier unlocking will be delayed but I'm ok with that.

selling those phones at $49 (especially without plan) isn't going help that cause.

I ordered 2 on the 7th and received them 2 days after but my order on the 8th is still on pending remote fulfillment. I'm going to wait it out and see if they ship this week.

I have a ST unlimited refill card (service pin). Can you use the card to activate without having to buy the first month service?

They kept saying because the payment is "pending". I repeatedly said my bank statement says "completed" and in ST it says the payment is "approved". Only shipping saying "pending remote fulfilment". She just kept coming back with "since it is pending" you have to talk to your bank and we are not going to do anything.

I'm about to dispute with my cc on my 11/6 order. Got charged but stuck in pending remote fulfillment. I know I'll be banned from ST if I dispute. What exactly do they ban? My name, cc and email address? Do they ban my address too?
You will be 100% banned. There are no work arounds.

ST (via phone) just keeps telling me there is no iphone se stock, and that is why it hasn't shipped. Yet I could order one on the Website this morning for $99 + silver plan.
