Yeah, sounds like they really made it kind of a headache. Even after the $49, it was being sold for $99 plus a plan at both Walmart and the ST website without the extra hoops or verification. Those $99 deals were around for most of December and into January, but were kind of glossed over after the $49 deal. Someone posted it separately from the other thread in mid-December, but it wasn't very well received …

That's because those MVNOs had much longer unlock terms. Those were a bad deal if you didn't want the service. Verizon is only 60 days in the drawer.

Nope … they were for Straight Talk phones and sold for $99 plus a plan at both Walmart and the Straight Talk website

Quite frankly, the only reason this thread has a bad rating is because the OP didn't explain the deal correctly. If not for the extra hassle of the ID/porting hoops, this is a great deal for that family member that barely understands how to use a phone. It has iPhone 13 guts in a familiar iPhone 8 chassis, and should get updates for 5+ years. That's why I bought another, for another luddite family member.

I don't think you are understanding. Not everyone wants to use Straight Talk. Most people on SD have managed to get good deals on phone service, and don't want to switch. If they buy the phone via Straight Talk, they have to wait 1 year before it will unlock for use on another provider. If you get the Verizon one, it is only 60 days.

Nope, not at all … I've followed these Total / ST / Tracfone deals for a very long time. The Straight Talk phones unlock after 60 days and only one month of active service is needed. I've done it with a dozen or so of them myself in the last year (some purchased from Walmart and some directly from ST) and many, many others have also done it with both the $49 and the $99 ST phones.

Yeah, the consolidation among companies has gotten pretty crazy and has lead to a lot of confusion at times. I think there were even reports for a while that SimpleMobile phones could go either way, depending on which SIM happened to be packaged with them.

they start the port-in process immediately after you submit information to them

Unlock time has been 60 days since Verizon bought all of the Tracfone brands (TF, Straight Talk, Total etc) over 2 years ago.

The Straight Talk deal for this phone that ran last November was a lot better.

Question to anyone try this in-store (buying iphone SE for $100 while porting number in)
Does store charge activation fee?

Thank you

This is no where near the same as the straight talk deal late last year. I would hold for that deal again. This is a lot of work so only do it if you are desperate

Lol I know seriously. I appreciate this post even if it's not as good as the last one.
