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.

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.
I tried calling the unlock dept but got tangled in the AI bot, basically hung up on me because I no longer have service. Had to call regular CS, on hold for 25 minutes....was told phone shows unlocked from their end, but I explained my phone settings say it is SIM locked, so she put in an order to process the unlock again, and told me it should get unlocked within 3 to 5 days. I guess we shall see.
Does the phone have to be powered on all the time until it is unlocked? That would be kind of silly...This phone sits in a drawer for weeks at a time, so it is usually dead after a couple days, until I pull it out to recharge like I did today (first time in a couple months)
If this doesn't get unlocked by next week, what number should I call to get to the unlock dept? And more important, how the heck do I talk to a human without the AI bot hanging up on me lol? Repeatedly saying "Agent" does nothing.
Thanks for any help/advice.

You can also check the unlock status on sickw to see if it's an issue on their end or the phone itself.
I believe 888-442-5102 is the number for unlocking.

And thank you for suggesting sickw to check unlock status. I just did that and it is showing the phone is unlocked! (attachment)
I've powered the phone off and on several times, but under Settings -> General -> About -> Carrier Lock , says "SIM locked". Has not changed. I'm confused. Any ideas what could be the issue??

I thought it will auto- unlock, but when I saw this post to re-check my iphone SE3, in general --> about this phone---> it still shown "locked"
I checked the link above https://sickw.com/ by input my IMEI, it said "unlocked" . how do I solve this problem if I don't want to re-set to factory setting to try (I had some app setting which don't want to re-set or re-do again),
ever bought Visible iphone which unlocked automatically w/o making any reset or submit any request. I thought all iphones from these carriers (visible, tracfone, straighttalk....etc) all the same
thanks

Putting in a different sim would have been less drastic.
Finally, using factory reset to make it unlock.
But I have to re-do a lot of app setting and login efforts..
anyway, thanks all
