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.
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.

It would be good if somebody could confirm the steps.
The cheapest ST plan required for activation (and unlocking) start at $35 - there are other cheaper plans but those seem to be refill.
So the cost is 99+35 = $134 before tax using ST plan.

I had to contact TF CS because their online system didn't work for the phone I got from walmart.
All you need is the PIN they generate when you buy a plan from them.

- what was the plan that you bought
- what network was the phone you got from Walmart locked
Regarding the refill plans - how does this work for unlocking a plan?
My understanding (potentially incorrect) is that locked phones get tied to a new plan either new or port-in number - thus using refill won't be successful in unlocking the phone.
Step 1: Buy the phone and a Plan
Step 2: Activate phone and plan
Step 3: Wait 60 days for phone to be unlocked
Step 4: Take to another carrier
*Note: The Bootloader is locked on this phone as the OEM software provided disables "Bootloader OEM unlock".

It clearly says can be used to activate new line which is what i did.
I bought the straight talk version from Walmart which came with a simcard thst works for all tracfone brand carriers apparently. Its not tied to any particular carrier until it is activated on carrier with a number.
I got a new number with the above plan so I am guessing it should be fine.

and the phone rings 199 if you try to buy in store, they would not match online price.
in short, don't buy it from Wal-Mart unless you have time and patience to deal with all this
PS: i returned mine, i guess i will just give up pixel 6a as my second phone.

Locked bootloader means no rooting or custom ROMs.
This happens due to Verizon _even_ after the device has been unlocked.
I said I got this phone from Walmart and online activation is not working for me.
They took my name and IMEI and confirmed the phone is legit bought and then proceeded to setup my account with my email and the plan PIN I got from ebay.
