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.

Might be a dumb question: But can I activate a new number to get the deal and once it unlocks transfer it to an existing number I have to a different carrier.

I currently have a year prepaid on mint with an iPhone 8 and in need of a new upgrade.

Thanks for this, I will definitely try again. The only other address I can use is my work address so I would have to use the same name as my first order, but I'm guessing that's ok. Did you use different cc's to place your orders?
Yes I did use a different card for each. But used the same address that was cancelled and the second time, ST did not cancel it. I have no clue why they decided to cancel one of my first two orders. They each had different addresses and different cc's.

Thanks for the info. Who knows what the criteria are. It's like the Metro deal - some folks are able to order 4 or 5 discounted phones while others are only able to get 2.

I used my current number for the new phone. If i only pay for the first month service, the phone number will be suspended. I already placed the order, can I change the phone number on new sim card?

Yes, it will unlock while still sealed in the box. Just activate the IMEI online.
Nice. So if I activate on day 1 using IMEI online and open the box after 60 days, device will be unlocked and I will still have 1 year warranty left from day 60. Will be useful if planning to gift. Thank you.

They have an online activation page … https://www.straighttalk.com/activation

Make sure that you choose "New StraightTalk phone" … you don't want to register it as "Keep your own phone"

Also, if you're keeping it sealed, I would make sure that the online account gets to the point of showing the line "Active" and "29 days of service remaining" (that can sometimes take a little time for the line to show as active, so you may need to check back later). And also make sure that the account shows the IMEI for your phone as the active device on the status page.

My order status shows: "error in remote fulfillment". I ordered the evening of 11/12. Any idea what this means? No cancellation/refund yet that I see. Wondering if it is just delayed or will be canceled.
I ordered on 11/12 as well at noon, they sent me shipping notification same day at about 8pm, it arrived today to a local UPS today, will be delivered tomorrow

If you don't want to lose your number, you should port your number out to NumberBarn before the end of the billing month. Note that porting out will also terminate your Straight Talk service.

Damn how many phones do they have? With how popular this was and many (including myself) ordering multiple, I thought it would be sold out by now
It seems that Apple is still making boatloads of these "retired" iPhone models (12, 13). I wonder how much these phones are costing the carriers. I'm guessing it's not much by the way they are almost giving them away (especially the 12).
