No plan required. You can activate with a tracfone $15 plan so that it can be unlocked for free after 60 days. No need to renew after the first month.

Free shipping or free store pickup.

Also available directly from ST website. Skip adding a plan if you don't want one. Thanks to mitchflorida.

How do you get 17 percent cash back via PayPal?
Five percent from PP using Chase Freedom card if you have one.

12 percent back from a cashback site which SD doesn't allow me to name. TC.


Model number STSAS546VCPWP from Walmart website.

Is that the actual model number you have on phone.? I don't see that model number anywhere on the internet to find out the specific LTE and 5G bands..

If you are already a Tracfone BYOD customer, can you "upgrade" to this phone by using the included Straight Talk SIM and the Tracfone website to activate?

Obviously, no additional airtime/minutes/text/data will be added to your Tracfone account.

" If you already have a tracfone, ST, total service you can activate with that service for free."

does it mean that I can just upgrade to this phone if i already have an active number and service with tracfone? an annual prepaid plan from other phone devices with the annual plan included purchased before?

also, if i were to want to just use ST service for a bit less work instead of the cheaper tracfone monthly service, do i have to purchase a new sim or a new prepaid service pin/card from walmart or ST website? and if so, are those usually virtual or have to sent through physical pin/simcard?

The phone comes with a ST sim card, which is the same as TF sim card. The phone also has eSim service. This can't be used with VZ postpaid until unlocked. It can be used to upgrade your present TF phone.

OP, thanks for the post, repped. It looks like if you want to activate anonymously, you need to go with the 15 dollar plan. The 10 dollar plan requires giving Tracfone your personal information, correct.

I think the $10 plan is for refills on existing lines. In the other ST/TF deals folks mentioned that the $15 is the cheapest one you can do a new activation. But someone with actual experience can confirm.

I was reading into this and saw Walmart reviews saying the $15 plan would not work on their cell phones? Can anyone confirm the $15 plan will activate the phone? Waiting for shipping but I ordered the phone with the plan of buying that $15 plan then waiting til unlock and switching it to my current service with Spectrum (I sure hope it actually works or I'll be trying to sell a phone lol)

This is one of the replies from their customer service for a review complaining about what I mentioned...
"Hi. This is Frank from Straight Talk Wireless. We are sorry to hear about it. Unfortunately, the Straight Talk $15 Home Phone plan will not work with cellular phones. In case you need assistance, kindly chat with us at http://urlhasbeenblocked/2CuBvXO. For your convenience, our representatives are available Monday-Sunday from 8:00 AM to 11:45 PM EST. You may also text the key word HELP to 611611 to view our self-service menu with a list of help key words with valuable information. Thank you."

The home phone plan comes with a base and totally different from the wireless plan/service.
We are talking about two completely different services here.

Straight Talk plans are too expensive. I'd buy a plan from Tracfone website for $15
