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.
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.

Go to settings, general, about, carrier lock and will say "no sim restrictions" if unlocked.
Unlock should be approx 60 days from activation.
What does texting unlock date to 611611 say?

Thank you. When I text that number it says it will unlock on 10-29-2024.
I'm sending the phone overseas today do you think it will unlock there or does it need to be able to access their network.

I wouldn't be surprised to find it unlocking late tomorrow, my last 2 phones unlocked a day early.

Fantastic. Thank you for all the help
So everyone else knows, the warranty is useless. I fought Straight Talk for hours on the phone and via chat they just keep telling me if the phone I purchased is defective there is nothing they can do nor can they take it back. They will not warranty iPhones and it's in their policy.
I went to Apple and they sent it to a repair center and confirmed the sim slot is defective. They then asked for an original purchase receipt to repair/replace the device. I sent the Straight Talk receipt and they basically laughed in my face and sent the phone back.
I spent another few hours with Straight Talk yesterday only to be told there is absolutely nothing that can be done. They don't even have way to process a return. I got rather annoyed with them considering the box even has a 90 day refurbished sticker on it. They say all the boxes do but it's STRICTLY only for Android devices.

I'm asking to check whether it's safe to directly put a mint sim without risk of them locking the phone (which they did to my previous free and clear unlocked iphone)? Or should i be activating the straighttalk sim and waiting for 60 days (ie whether the unlock status after 60 days will be a "better" unlock status than current out of the box?)
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light.

You will lose the plan if you don't activate on ST since phone is linked to sim - if that matters.
I've had 2 ST iPhones (& 2 androids) auto unlock in the past few months with only the original 30 day plan then letting phones sit for 30 days after service ends. Someone doesn't know what they're talking about. I'd contact them again and talk to a different rep.

Thank you for your response.
I've wasted enough of my time with this deal and straight talk customer service. I'll sort this out with my credit card company and get my money back.
