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.

Good luck on the unlocking.
We were with straight talk for probably 10 years and before we left we tried over and over again to get our paid-in-full, 2-3 year old iphones unlocked and they never did it.

It was also a complete pain to get them to also release our phone numbers so that we could move to T-mobile afterwards. Took many phone calls over the course of a week and even then they didn't let us have our phone numbers until T-mobile called them and yelled at them.

I'd never recommend straight talk to anymore based on my experience with them.
These unlock automatically, no need to do anything other than make sure it's been activated and can receive calls/txts and data works. That's it. 60 days later it will become unlocked automatically.

Already knew they were cancelled and replaced with orders that have shipped but got this follow up email (addressed to a random gmail account) concerning why the order was cancelled.

Dear Customer:

Thank you for choosing Straight Talk Wireless, Inc., for your prepaid cell phone and accessory needs.

At this time, we regret to inform you that your order, placed on November 13, 2024, was not approved, and could not be processed by our billing verification systems.

Once again, we thank you for your order and if you feel this response was received in error, we invite you to revisit our website at www.StraightTalk.com and resubmit your order or contact our Customer Service Department at 1-877-430-2355. Please remember to confirm all requested information and verify that it is properly entered before submitting the order.

The reason is 100% bogus as I used the same name and mailing info on other orders that shipped. The only difference was one phone per order vs two.

Thank you for the detailed steps! I used BF to get the 10% cashback. All others are the same with your steps. Thanks!

Thank you OP. Bought 2 phones on 2 transactions. Used Microsoft Edge rewards both times which should be good for $30x2 and used CSR and FU both with 15% promo. Should be $45 total back per order which brings total to around $226 after $back. Seems like much less potential headache vs the 14 deal at Walmart plus spent close to $100 less per phone. Now that I've done this one can rest assured a $150 deal will come Black Friday!

Do you need to use a capital one card? I only have their debit card but don't like to keep much on there

That's pretty odd as usually we have to save PayPal offers. Did you get the PayPal cashback?
It did not automatically show for me after purchase. Contacted PayPal support and they issued a $20 voucher for next PP purchase.
