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.

Walmart now also has the new straight talk iPhone 12 for $299. Probably better to avoid having to deal with straight talk directly: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Straig.../962786054

Anyone know if this will still unlock if I take the phone out of the USA? I'm going to the Caribbean and picked up one of these for my wife but I realized we'll be out of the USA when it should unlock and I wasn't sure how it worked for the unlock part.

By the way, I think we got a brand new iPhone 12. Battery health is 100% although maybe it needs a few cycles to update.

A little late and I know it's expired but so y'all know if these phones can be used in Mexico? I understand sometimes they're locked to the carrier for a couple of months but has anybody bought them and taken them straight to Mexico to be used over there? I know there's a way to unlock it (jailbreak it) or whatever they call it but I'm just wondering if anybody has done it when taking it to Mexico
I just posted the same question but for taking it to another place outside of the USA. I think though after reading this:

https://apple.stackexchange.com/q...he-country

The unlock should be processed over the internet so, fingers crossed, hopefully all we need to do is make sure it can get onto wifi and connect to the internet and then we'll get it unlocked (after or at 61 days or whatever the wait is).

Yeah, but you can choose a cheaper $10 or $15 plan and then you have a brand new phone. Admittedly not as good as getting a like new one for $250.

I received the new iPhone for $299. I followed the directions from the Straight Talk Pixel 6a deal and rebranded it to Tracfone on the $15 plan. It is showing it will be unlocked on 4/11/2024.

Edit: So new = $299 + sales tax + $15

Interestingly I placed another order on the 11th and it promptly shipped on the 12th and is arriving today. My original order in the 6th is still pending remote fulfillment. Their customer service said they can't cancel it and can only put a note in the file asking for it to be expedited. I'm going to give it a few more days and then dispute the charge on my credit card.

On a sidenote, Capital One currently has a cash back offer for straighttalk. I actually had 2 offers, one for 7% cash back up to $17 off a phone and another for 12.5% cash back up to $30. YMMV but sweetens the deal (if you can get them to actually ship).

Update: got the order from the 11th today (the 14th). Other than a very light scratch near the power button looks pristine with 100% battery.

Update 2: I checked the cycle counts on both phones and the first had 1 cycle and the 2nd phone had 6, so both are basically brand new.

Is that capital one shopping? I see up to $15 off orders over $300, and 6% off "everything else". No explanation of what the exceptions might be though.
EDIT: I also see it on capitaloneoffers: $17 back or 7%
