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.

Slept on it and decided to get it (especially since it's still up). Upgrading from a XR I've had for 5 years. I am cheap honestly the XR is still fine for me but 64gb of storage is a killer. Mostly upgrading for the 128gb. Is there really a big difference between the XR and 13?

It needs to be directly paid. They dont stack
I don't use Chase cashback offers very often but I feel like I've gotten it after paying with PayPal in the past. Either way I'm fine with whatever I end up getting.

It's helpful to read use case stories!
Thanks! I forgot to mention that we have some family members that are using iPhone 13 and their batteries may be close to needing replacement. If I'm able to order more than 2 I may swap the extras with them and trade-in or sell the old ones. The cost to replace an iPhone 13 battery is $89 at Apple, so effectively the net cost would be around $155 if I were to use the old ones for trading-in (battery health doesn't affect trade-in value as long as the battery isn't swollen).

Not bad, but with the $10 bonus I think $37 off is decent. Looks like it's 60 days to get the cash, while Microsoft was 90 days last time I used them.

Now to see if the chase PayPal 5% stacks with the chase straight talk $15 cash back. I'll be under $200 "IF" everything stacks.

Thanks for the info on BF. I used MS for my order last night. I want to place a second order and I may give BF a try as I'm not sure if the MS offer is good for multiple uses. I'll also pay with PayPal next time as well.

Thank you for the detailed steps. Can I activate it through Straighttalk as well or does it have to be through tracfone only?
Is there a URL that you could share for tracfone?

Alert for those using PayPal & Chase offers: the transaction is showing up as TracFone in my PayPal activity and Chase pending transaction. See attached screenshots (including the PayPal & Chase offers for both Straight Talk and TracFone) for proof. Be sure to add both Straight Talk & TracFone offers to your Chase card in case it comes across as either payee. It sucks that PayPal is only offering 2.5% for TracFone vs 7.5% for Straight Talk, but hopefully the PayPal offer will stack with the Chase offer.

One thing to correct: it's better to activate the phone on straight talk online. While TracFone owns straight talk, you buy this phone from straight talk, so you have to activate it on straight talk online

Did you stack 18% C1 and Chase $15? But didn't you have to pay with C1 credit card in order to get the18%? BTW I saw that C1 shopping offers only 10% and it excludes plans.
thats regular cashback site, you can use any payment method including PP
