All current Tracfone , Straight Talk, Total Wireless, Simple Mobile ONLY operates and activates on the Verizon Network exclusively. That's cause Verizon bought all of them. So any new phone will unlock in 60 days from ALL of them.

This has been your PSA.

$262 otd to California. After reading 25 pages, here's my summary:

1. Use PayPal to get 7.5% back by logging into your PayPal account and search for promos, select StraightTalk. Will take you directly to StraightTalk site. That's what i did.
2. Chase card has 15% promo but caps at $15 discount, based on other users. I do not have Chase.
3. Purchase iPhone 13 with Silver plan. Must be Silver or higher to get $200 phone discount.
4. Do not select autopay to see PayPal payment option.
5. You can ship to different address if you're gifting it. They just need to understand the terms if they plan to unlock and use elsewhere or just stay with StraightTalk.
6. New phone needs to be activated, through StaightTalk online, for 60-day unlock countdown to begin. Phone does not need to be opened/used.
7. After the 30 plan expires, do not purchase another plan. Use it on WiFi or not at all.
8. After 60 days, phone will automatically unlock for any carrier.
9. Text "UNLOCK" to 611611 to confirm/see countdown.
10. Hope all goes well for us all.

You don't need to do anything. It should get unlocked after 60 days. Some rare case it didn't get unlocked, go https://www.tfwunlockpolicy.com/wps/portal/ and give the imei (and the phone number you got) and it will let you "reprocess" the unlock request online, if you still can't get it unlocked, you just call the phone number on that web page and they will unlock it for you. With that said, most time it will get unlocked automatically and you don't need to do anything.

Does it work if I use this phone with my post paid verizon sim before the 60 days unlock ?
No, it's only usable on the tracfone family brands.

Yes, they will unlock while still sealed as long as you activate it properly on their system. I've had a number of them unlocked that way. (Obviously, it introduces more of a possibility that some quirky problem could go unnoticed though, so it's not the "recommended" way of doing things.)

Key points …

Make sure that you activate it as a "New Phone / purchased from ST". Do not activate it as "BYOD / have my own phone" or it may not get unlocked. Ideally, activate it online with their automated system to make sure that it's done right. If you call and speak to a rep, they sometimes seem to activate them as BYOD, causing them to not unlock automatically. (They can still generally be unlocked, but it may require calling them which can be a headache at times.)

Verify that once activated, the line shows active in their system and the countdown clock of "29 days remaining" starts.

Also make sure that the IMEI of your device shows as the active device on the line you just activated.
good info!

Any previous insight with iPhone trade-ins for Galaxy S devices? Wondering if this might be a good trade in option for the upcoming S25?

Would this deal work if I added a line to my existing ST account?

TIA

I've never done it with Android, but I've seen another user report that they have (left them sealed and then opened / unlocked after the wait period). I think they need to process the unlock on the phone though, so you can't just wait and check sickw to see if it's unlocked like with iPhones (again, based on reports from others)

Can I order two, and start using one immediately, port the number out before renewal, and active another one and use it for another month?

This is better than the 14 deal from Walmart if you need a physical sim

Sorry I'm new to these deals and trying to understand. I was looking at the 14 deal as well, but I'm just trying to understand what the benefit of having a physical Sim is vs other option? Thanks
