Cheapest is to get one of their $15 a month plans. There are two $15 a month plans, one has unlimited talk and text, the other one has 500 min, 500 texts, and 500mb of data.

Also note that 99% of all "reconditioned" phones (whether iPhone or Android) sold by Tracfone are already unlocked or qualify for unlocking without any need to activate with a plan or wait 60 days. So the first thing to do when you get a "reconditioned" phone from them is to dial #83865625# that will tell you the unlock status. If it offers for you to enter a code, enter the phone's IMEI on Tfunlockingpolicy website, chances are very high it already qualifies for unlocking without the need to buy any plans. If on the second page you get an "error" from the website, just call Tracfone's unlocking department at 1-888-442-5102. If they don't cooperate, just file an FCC complaint and they will do you right in no time as they fear the regulator.
199 + sales tax + 35
It's an OK deal, but not a great one. With battery capacity at 90%, the phone must have been used for at least a year and it wasn't reconditioned by Apple. I've purchased a couple of reconditioned iPhone's (11 and Xr) from Tracfone before (mostly with reward points). All appeared to be customer returns with little usage. I was hoping these 12's were also customer returns, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Yesterday ST lowered brand new 12 and 12 mini by $100 but the price went back today. I think that was a better deal since it would come with Apple Care and you didn't have to buy a plan. You could activate it on Tracfone with $0~$10 and have it unlocked after 60 days.

Once unlocked and changed to Verizon, can I take it international when I travel? Thought I've read somewhere long ago straight talk phones can't ever be used internationally even when service is through Verizon later in life?

That shouldn't apply to iphones since they get unlocked by Apple to be same as retail version of such device, there are some limitations set by some countries in Asia and in Japan on some of the bands and frequencies used but that has nothing to do with device itself. Androids might be different especially if it's limited by software/carrier.

From what I know once you unlock a phone is is the same as what you would get from an Apple Store, at least for iPhone. Android is a different story

12 months before you can unlock it. So you're comparing apples and oranges.

Quick search on swappa shows this exact phone unlocked starts at about $240. Who knows what kind of reconditioning these phones have been through, but considering the price is almost the same and you don't have to wait another 60+ days, this deal isn't worth it IMO. You might get a marginally better condition phone, but I would hardly call that a deal at this price which is already readily available.

Thanks bought one. Reading through comments here it sounds different from android phones where you would get a carrier specific firmware. This should just be generic apple firmware with no bloat and carrier branding right?

TiA haven't owned an iPhone in many many years.

While I agree waiting 60 days is a hassle, there is a 1 year warranty on the reconditioned phones according to the straighttalk website. Just something I took into consideration.

True. There are very few ways to get a new iPhone ( may not be the latest model) for less without lengthy contracts or bill credits.
New iPhones you know what you are getting and the first year warranty covered by Apple. And if you want you can get apple care in the initial days. This is the best approach if you plan to keep the iPhone for long : buy new , use it with a case, when its time for upgrade after few years give it anyone who don't need the latest phone but a good working one. Since the iphone has been with you know its has been taken care of and will work without issues.

For Android this is not true. There are lot of offers on new phones everywhere, competing phone options from various manufacturers and their price drops drastically from the day of the release.

Not sure if this helps but I was looking for warranty info.

Straight Talk Reconditioned Warranty [straighttalk.com]
A reconditioned Straight Talk phone also has a one year warranty provided by Straight Talk and all Straight Talk accessories have a 90-day warranty against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use by the purchaser. You may obtain warranty service directly from Straight Talk.

EDIT: Mine arrived 1/30 in a white box with a sticker that says "90 day warranty" so I guess the website info is outdated.
