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.

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.

Mine came locked. After activation, I texted "unlock" to 611611 - it says it will be unlocked on 04/03. 100% battery. Warranty until 02/06. Phone is in good condition. No scratches on the screen or back. One little chip on the top left corner. Looks like it was dropped.

Hope that helps.

Chip on the bezel or screen because that's a deal breaker.
Does anyone know of these can be returned?

I managed to sweeten the deal a bit by looking around for a refer-a-friend code that gives you 5000 points for an extra free month so in that sense for around $250 after Tax with 2 months of service (until it unlocks) isn't that bad
So If I get referred and get 5K points do I need to redeem them into my account to be able to utilize for 2nd month?

Once the pending points post, it says it cost 3500 points to redeem 1 month.

Boost mobile requires that you have service with them for 12 consecutive months before you can unlock it

And it takes 30 days or more for points to post & be usable.
Suggest new users read details for rewards.

They list 8 but I remember 12 had max of 4 esim in their initial document but only 1 esim at a time. Which is why I upgraded. 13 list 8 but 2 can be activated at a time

Metro by T-Mobile is offering a brand new iPhone 12 for $99 with port in and on a $65 plan plus $25 activation fee = $189. I remember phones on Metro being able to be unlocked after 180 days even if you dont have active service. Ive been out of the loop when it comes to changes with Metro and their policies, so I dont know if that 180 day unlock ability is still in effect. Ifso, just another option for those that want a new iPhone 12 and are willing to wait for 6 months to unlock.

Metro iphone deals are instore only, and all Metro corporate stores are gone, only dealer stores now, you won't get the iphone 12 for $189, Metro dealers will require highest plan, $40 accessories, cheapest you will get is around $230 out the door for the iphone 12

I know it's expired but pretty cool I was able to pop in a safelink wireless sim card immediately and it worked. That's a free government plan if ya wondering.
