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.

This or the Verizon 14 deal at Walmart., I'm assuming there's more risk of not being able to cancel or chargeback from Verizon credit deal? This seems better

Quote from FancyPolice932 :
SD Folks, I asked the ST customer service if I stay in the Silver plan for only 1 month, can I get the iPhone 13 unlocked after 60 days. There is his answer: "To network unlock the phone, the phone must remain active for 60 days." Then I asked " Does this mean that I have to stay in the plan for two months?". He answered "Yes, it is correct". I believe this is ST's official answer. How can I get the phone unlocked if I stop paying after one month?
Yes, that's their standard reply, but it's incorrect based on actual user experiences for a very long time across many of these threads. They unlock after 60 days with only one paid month.

Guys, sorry for the dumb question. I am new here. After I activate it do I need to pay for the 2nd month? Will it affect the unlocking process if I don't pay for the 2nd month? Do I need to let ST know that I want to drop out? What should I do next? All advice is appreciated.

bunch of orders are getting cancelled
Got 3 kids - placed 2 orders for 3 phones. Second order was cancelled so tried again using different address - hope it goes through.

How'd you know a bunch are getting cancelled?

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.
So can you take this little bit further? How do you unlock a phone If you have to activate the service first but never actually open up the box/phone?

Here's what has worked for me when I do it …

https://slickdeals.net/f/17882043-apple-iphone-13-128gb-245-straighttalk-unlocks-in-60-days?v=1&p=173816370#post173816370

The unlock can be confirmed at Sickw or similar site and once that happens, the phone will be unlocked as soon as it's physically activated (that process happens on the back end through Apple's activation servers).

I talked to a rep through the chat, he said you will have to be on an active plan in order to unlock, so 2 months of service. Has anyone done just one month of paid plan after activation without the 2nd month and get the phone unlocked after 60 days?
Rep knows nothing.
