How to activate the phone from Wal-Mart with the $10 plan:
  1. Purchase phone from Wal-Mart.
  2. Go to the website corresponding to your service brand (so if you bought the Straight Talk version, go to Straight Talk, not TracFone).
  3. Click activate and select new line with a physical SIM (each phone should come pre-installed with a physical TracFone SIM).
  4. You will reach a step asking for your IMEI number. If this step gives you an error, keep reading. If this step passes and it asks for your SIM number, then skip ahead to step 8.
  5. Open a support chat window (or call) and tell them that it's giving you an error on the IMEI step. They will check and they will tell you that Wal-Mart farked up, and they will tell you to get the phone rescanned at the store. They should also offer you a second option, where you send them proof of purchase and they fix the problem from their end in 1-2 business days. If they don't give you this option, ask for it.
  6. The support agent will create a ticket number and give you an e-mail address ([email protected]) to mail the requested information (ticket number, contact information, IMEI number, proof of purchase, and photos of the bar codes on the back of the box).
  7. After sending in this information, you should get a reply in 1-2 business days saying that you can now activate your phone.
  8. Purchase the $10 TracFone airtime PIN from eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/284813673959 ... the code took approximately 15 minutes to arrive after completing the purchase.
  9. Go to TracFone's website (this time, go direct to TF and not the website for the brand you bought) and open a support chat window (or call), and tell them that you have a Straight Talk phone (or whatever brand you bought) that you want to activate on TracFone. They will ask for your IMEI number, SIM number (all should be on the card inside the box), if you want to activate it as a new line (say yes), etc.
  10. Eventually, the support agent will ask if you have an airtime PIN or if you want to buy a plan with a credit card. Give them the PIN that you bought from eBay.
  11. Wait for the service to be provisioned. It took about another 20 minutes before my phone got its new phone number.
  12. Text UNLOCK to 611611 to confirm that you have an unlock date.

Alternative airtime card, if the $10 one is unavailable: https://www.ebay.com/itm/284976384363

To temp unlock it for using with other carriers: (one minor change, I can't find device setup in netguard, I disabled "carrier setup" instead)

Remove SIM card from the device. DO NOT INSERT IT UNTIL YOU FINISHED ALL THE LISTED STEPS.
Factory reset phone.
Go through OFFLINE set-up process.
Go to Settings – Apps – See All Apps.
On the three dots on the top right-hand side, tap show system.
Search – Device setup.
Tap Mobile data & Wi-Fi – deactivate Background Data.
Go back – Then "Battery" – Set to Restricted.
Go to home screen and pull screen down.

Select the desired Wi-Fi network and connect.
Tap on gear on the right of your connected WIFI.
Tap Network Usage – select "Treat as metered."
Go to the playstore Search "NetGuard", install it
Open NetGuard, give it unrestricted battery permissions (so it can run allways) dont worry its super safe.
Tap the three dots on netguard, settings, advanced options and enable "manage system apps"- exit netguard settings.
on netguerd main screen search "Device Setup" and disable the wifi and data communications by taping the little icons next to it
Go back to home screen and insert SIM card.
Enjoy using your unlocked device.

I have a 6a purchased a few months ago directly from Total by Verizon and it is a model GX7AS (ROW, not Verizon variant which is GB62Z). No guarantees all will be this model but maybe someone can use this info.
Once the phone is SIM unlocked, then the OEM unlocking becomes available.
I have had one of these from the Target deal last week. Seems to be a TracFone GSM model that works on Verizon 4G, with Android 13 preinstalled (have not seen it handshake to the Verizon network on 5G) But I had hoped to put alternative Android on the phone but I have been unable to get OEM unlocking / bootloader to turn on in Developer Settings menu. (Stays greyed out) If anyone had success would love to know how.

Both my Pixel 6a phones were unlocked automatically last week on the 60th day after activation. One was Straight Talk and the other Total By Verizon, both activated on Tracfone.

Is there anyway to check in the settings to see if the Pixel 6A is unlocked?

I know some phones are under either in the Settings>About Phone>Lock
or Settings>Connections>Network lock status, or something similar.

"OEM Unlock" will be enabled in Developer Options in Settings. Or you could just use a sim from another carrier.

Disable that. If it shows more than just T-Mobile i.e Verizon, AT&T etc. Then it's unlocked.

I unlocked my Straight Talk Pixel 6a after few months of struggle by following steps posted in:

https://xdaforums.com/t/unlock-an...t-89406717

March 18, 2024
Tested on Android 14 and 14 beta
WARNING:Before all that eject the simcard and insert the sim tray empty
1)Reset the device to factory
2)Select "Setup Offline"
3)WARNING: Dont select any password or security to phone and DO NOT CONNECT TO INTERNET UNTIL YOU FINISH FOLLOWING ALL THE STEPS
3')Copy "sim_unlock_linux.bat" for windows or .sh for linux in the adb drivers folder
4)Allow usb debugging in developer options and run "sim_unlock_linux.sh" if you have an linux distribution or "sim_unlock_linux.bat" if you have an windows distribution
5)Enter in phone settings/apps/show all/3 dots on the top select and enable show system apps/search for "Device Setup" and down you will see "mobile data and wifi" click on it and disable background data swipe back and select "app battery usage" and select restricted...do the same for "Carrier Settings" "Carrier Setup" and "Android Setup" apps
6)Reboot phone
7)Insert sim card
8)Enjoy your carrier unlocked phone
You can use wifi or vpn without any dataguard app or netguard and metered wifi,you can use the phone as you will use in normal scenario like it is unlocked

You have to download bat file, not sure I can post commands in the bat file here.
