Not available in my zip code.

This is the same outfit that let me order a new one for $100 months ago (along with the $35 plan), and then sat on the order for weeks before saying they were sold out.

I see deals like this pop up occasionally and just want to make sure I am understanding things correctly. To take advantage of this deal, you would sign up for a new line with Straight Talk and get the phone for $74. You would have to have it active for one month, which would be $35. You would cancel before the month is over, so total out of pocket would be around $110-$120.

You would then have an unactivated phone that could be used on wifi (like a mini iPad). After 60 days, the phone would become unlocked so it could be used on another carrier? Am I missing any details here? For us, the use case would be to have an unactivated phone for our child to use (for things like FaceTime and YouTube) when connected to wifi.

All the reconditioned iphones from straight talk/total/tracfone come with new (aftermarket) batteries.

No, that’s not true. Some of those phones have had little use and would not have had their batteries replaced. For reference, I have an SE 3 that I purchased brand new last November and have been using daily for over six months and it still shows 100% battery health. They may replace batteries when needed, but there would be no reason to replace ones that are perfectly healthy. Phones that were put into service for less than a year may very well show 100% health with the original battery.

Obviously it can vary, but it usually took just short of a week from order to delivery for my past orders. But you occasionally see orders that get out in just a few days or ones that drag on for over a week … they’re not always the most consistent. Smilie

In regards to the 100% battery health of non-new devices, I looked into this a while back. It seems that with Apple products the actual battery capacity is often higher than the design capacity. This is to account for manufacturing variability - Apple wants to ensure that the batteries will always meet the design capacity when new. In addition, the capacity of lithium batteries will actually increase a little during the first few months before it starts decreasing. Since the battery health % is based on the design capacity, this would explain why the battery health could still show as 100% for an extended period of time during the first year of use (the battery health will be displayed as 100% when the actual capacity is greater than the design capacity).

Yep, we're right on the same page again. I was looking at my battery capacity versus specs in a previous post as well …

https://slickdeals.net/f/17625351-straight-talk-64gb-apple-iphone-se-3-reconditioned-30-days-prepaid-service-from-110-free-shipping?v=1&p=172347768&src=SiteSearch#post172347768

The original capacity on my daily phone was 2097 mAh even though the spec’d capacity is 2018 mAh. And I have two other SE3's that also had similar original capacity … one started at 2092 mAh and the other at 2098 mAh. And another user a few pages ago said his was at 2085 original capacity.
