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.

Not that great deal, boost mobile has a brand new iphone 12 for $199.
You have to pay 12 consecutive months of boost service to be able to unlock the boost phone, vs this deal you pay for 1 month and wait only 2 months

Do you know if you have to connect to their network to unlock? I might be overseas on the 61st day.
Thanks!
no need to stay connected, speaking from experience with their SE 3rd Gen deal, on 61st day, any SIM works directly.

That's correct, mine has been unlocked on 61 day and moved to Tello on same day. Bought Tello's eSIM and port-out to Tello on the same day.

I see these unlocked on eBay for between $200 and $300.

How is this a deal, especially considering TracFone is a scumbag company. Go read the thread where people had to initiate charge backs on the iPhone SE deal last year.

It depends if these have aftermarket screens and/or batteries.

In the past Apple didn't check. But it seems that they started checking

Apple are bunch of Aholes TBH, it won't matter if parts are genuine from another iPhone, as soon as they are moved over it will show that message which has nothing to do them being genuine or not but rather that you maybe tried to fix that broken camera, cracked screen or even worn out battery apparently that introduces "security" risk bit IF Apple were to install the exactly thr SAME parts but then uses $20K machine to pair them all to mainboard all the "risks" for away because they just charged you 4-5x the amount for that repair.
Another sad part that whomever handles massive refurbished devices has access to devices that let them bypass those "warnings" but poor individuals that couldn't afford extra money to pay for Apple care after buying that nicely priced new device will have to stick with those parts until device croaks completely.

WHAT, I bought an iPhone SE through Tracfone a month ago and it got unlocked exactly after 2 months passed. Can you elaborate on what happened I am very curious

I think he means like on any internet, WiFi or mobile data. So I think he means with no connectivity at all
