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.

if we only take one month of the service, that phone number will be gone for one month silence/no service??? I guess we can't use the number anymore to unlock the phone???
Just connect to wifi, google tfunlock and in the portal enter the assigned phone number and imei, then imei again and then name and email and they will provide 2 codes you will enter to unlock. Again it needs to be 60 days from activation not 60 days of service per their terms.

Took several hours to get it activated on tracfone. And had to get the $15 plan, as the $10 plan was out of stock from eBay.

It was a big enough pain in the butt, I wouldn't want to do it for more than one phone.

Worked as expected. Phone came with TF SIM installed in it. Purchased a $15 30 day plan on Ebay and chatted with customer service to get service plan added and the phone activated. Sent a text UNLOCK to 611611 and got a date of 2/10/2024 when my phone will be eligible for unlock.

No Dear, The policy you mentioned does not apply on your case.
Verizon network TF devices unlock after 60 days of activation

Did you maintain 60 days of service? Which plan did you use?

Unlocking challenges
Google Pixel 6a on the total by Verizon network and activated on 11/22 on the Tracfone network
unlock message to 611611 says device is BYOD and cannot be unlocked

spoke with customer service ( Tracfone and Total have the same number) and they said they cannot find this device on their database to generate an unlock code

Any suggestions to get past this unlock hurdle ?

I had one month plan. It is eligible to unlock today. A few minutes after restarting the phone and connecting to wifi, got a message that phone is unlocked and eligible to use with any carrier. Tested with TMO, working fine.
Both the lines/phones unlocked.

I dont think i ever texted unlock to 611611 after the whole process. at least I dont see it in my 611611 text history. I dont understand how people got messages after dropping after 30 days....how can you get a message in 60 days that your phone is unlocked if you are only on wifi? What should I do to unlock? Do you think I am still good since I did the rest of the process successfully?
