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 the month of prepaid service ever expire if you don't use it immediately? I'm looking to just activate the phone to let it unlock and 60 days but may use the month of phone service in the future. Anyone know the details?

Also, if I get two phones and have a month of free service on each, they would technically have two different numbers, but can I just combine the two months to one card and one phone?

I see that MS shopping is offering 15% cb.
got 18% on C1 + chase preferred $15 which gives extra 1 year warranty as well. Good for backup phone

Edit: got $43 cashback

This is better than the 14 deal from Walmart if you need a physical sim
even otherwise, if you didnt need 256GB, this is $100 less for essentially the same phone. i am on verizon so I grabbed a Walmart 14 as well.

If you activate the line, service expires after 30 days whether you use it or not. You can delay activating it until you want to use the service, but that will also delay the unlock.

Ah right, forgot about the 256GB from Walmart. That would probably make it better

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
Some carriers don't have esim support. A lot of international carriers still use physical sim. But the 14 deal is better if you want the 256GB and are willing to deal with the cancellation hassle

That's why international iphones still have physical sim trays only US models have it removed.

Does this have a sim slot? Will I be able to use it on Boost after unlock?

I thought as soon as you get the phone and start it up and add to Wi-Fi, it activates. Is that incorrect information? Do you actually have to use the service to start your 60 day countdown? Thank you.

You need to active the line your bought from straight talk, that's unrelated with the power up of the phone.

You don't have to actually use the service, but the service / line must be activated on their end in order to trigger the unlock. The physical activation of the phone has no bearing on the unlock and they can even be unlocked without ever actually opening the phone itself.
