Different retailers, so it's not a repost. But this thread sucks as much as the Walmart one: There are no clear instructions on how to get the phone unlocked via a Tracfone plan for those of us who aren't familiar with the process.

Bought from Walmart online yesterday and picked up today. Also bought the TracFone 10$ 30min plan from TracFone ebay store.
Failed activation today after pickup and TracFone CS said take it back to Walmart and ask them to tie the purchase to the receipt. They didn't scan it correctly and hence it's not showing in their system.
So I went back to the store and the guy at CS desk had no idea. But the guy at electronic desk knew the problem. But he said he cannot fix it and CS needs to fix it.
Tried to return the phone and the CS said they don't accept phone reruns at that particular store because they had one explode and I can go to some other Walmart.
I then called the store next closest to me and the lady at the electronic desk knew exactly the problem and solution. I went to that store and she was able to do the return without receipt and rebuy and scan the codes correctly.
Then I tried online activation on TracFone website and thst still didn't work.
So I chatted with TracFone CS and they were able to confirm the phone is now good and then help me activate the plan I bought online.
The online plan gives you a PIN that I gave to CS.
They didn't mention anything about rebrand and neither did I.

You are stronger and tougher than I am.
I congratulate you on getting this done. But I couldn't do it, at this point in life don't have the patience and might not be able to find the one aware, competent person you did.

Is it better than Pixel 7?
No. I have a pixel 6pro and the battery isn't that great. But I do travel a lot so I'm using navigation alot. Other than that the phone is super smooth and fast. Take great pics. From what I heard, the pixel 7 does everything the pixel 6 does but just a little bit better

I bought it from Walmart & it says "ships December 6th", so maybe 1st batch sold out...?

You get what u pay for. U can't get a pixel 7 for $99 yet. I heard the 6a fingerprint reader & battery sucks, but still a decent phone for $99.

I was at Walmart 2 times, the straight talk sales representative was never there..?
Welcome to the club, I tried 5 times to get a phone but the rep was either not there, or the computer would not let the sale complete.

I have the 6a, a friend has the 7, we both are happy with our choices because we have different criteria. If you want to decide which is best for you, here's one comparison [androidauthority.com] (of many).

Biggest picture on the Q, one of the main things that might make the 6a "better" than the 7 is value/price, and this deal only magnifies the differential.

Another comment, I have not actively shopped to upgrade from my 6a (when 8 came out I looked a little, but didn't perceive enough change to make it worth it), but in searching for that link, I see a bunch of other links where people supposedly claim the 6a is better than than the 7a

U have to buy a plan from TracFone, total wireless or straight talk & it will unlock in 60 days. TracFone is cheapest.

I understand about the same ownership, but does that mean I can add a cheap, quickie Tracfone plan to a phone they are saying is locked to Straight Talk???

Yes, apparently the initial supply has been purchased. I purchased one early this morning and will receive it tomorrow. I tried a second purchase, and it indicated shipment expected December 6th.

I contacted TracFone on eBay and asked if their plans work with new straight talk phones. Their reply:

Good day,

No, this service plan can be used on TracFone devices only.

For more assistance, you may call us at 1 800 626 4883 Ext 3324 from 8AM
to 11:45PM EST Monday to Sunday.

Executive Resolution Department.
Tracfone Wireless.


However, some people claim that you can rebrand a straight talk phoneto TracFone in a few easy steps. Hopefully it will work.

If I have to contact a customer service rep, likely way offshore and used to only reading from a script, then this isn't such a slick deal.

If I want to use this unlocked with T-Mobile, what's the policy? Looked like it said you need 12 months of active service first? If so, that seems like a non-starter...

Does anyone know if this can be unlocked when you are outside of US? In India?
