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.

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.
Correct.

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.
Sign up for a new line with Straight Talk to get the 13 and activate it. Make sure that autopay isn't enabled on your Straight Talk account so you don't get billed for additional months. In the meantime keep using your iPhone 8 with your Mint SIM as your main phone (you can keep the 13 powered off if you're not going to use it). 60 days after activating the 13 it will unlock. You can then put your Mint SIM into your 13 and start using it as your main phone - with Mint it's that simple. You can also easily switch to using eSIM on your 13 if you like.

Did you order more than one per order? I put in a couple orders and the single orders went thru ok but the orders where I used the "duplicate" cart option and tried to order two in one order got cancelled.
My first order (with two phones) has made it to UPS and will be delivered tomorrow. I was a bit worried that my botched 2nd order attempt would cause it to get "recalled".

Just the first month when you originally placed the order.

Just received my iphone 13 today, has some smudges around the bezel and glass back, looks more of a refurbished phone than a brand new one.

Can you elaborate on the "activate it" part (steps pls, especially keeping the 13 sealed in box).

Never mind, question answered on previous page. Page 35

Quote from SlySol :
Transferring the number / service to the new phone is a separate part of the transfer process … you can either proceed with that as an option or simply clone all the data and apps without touching the service. The vid below shows how it works (see approximately 1:45 where that option comes up)…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDfA7VHa4NQ

Note that you can also clone the phone data by using iTunes on a computer to do a backup and then restore on the new phone. They don't need to be the same model for that … I've been cloning my phone that way with every upgrade since the iPhone 4 or so. The only caveat is that the new phone must have the same version of iOS or newer than the backed-up phone before doing the restore to it.
Thanks and repped!

After I receive this new ST iPhone 13, can I start using it as a better camera(comparing to my iPhone SE2) and WIFI device, without activating it for about a month? Because I just paid unlimited service for a month, so I want to postpone the unlimited service from ST for now. However, if you think I'd better activate the phone while I start using it, in order to ensure unlocking, then I will give up a month of service to avoid risking unlocking the phone eventually... please advise. Thanks!

This might be a dumb question since I couldn't find anyone run into searching the posts - how do you activate the phone bought directly from straight talk? I purchased the phone + plan from straighttalk.com directly. Now the phone has arrived, I tried to follow instruction on that little booklet by go to straighttalk.com -> activate -> Straighttalk Phone -> enter IMEI, after entering IMEI and click continue, got an error message saying "
It looks like the IMEI you entered belongs to another brand. Please try again with a different IMEI number." , the customer chat has a wait time of 150 minutes. Any idea what I should do?

Received the phone and sim but no plan. Is that tied into the sim or is there another email I should get with activation instruction?

hi, he said

you can still get the att and T-Mobile sims by CALLING.
Oh by calling T-mobile or ATT and not straight talk. Got it.
My last sim upgrade was 7 years ago and they made me pay $30 for one.
