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.

Did anyone who got their phone got a card that you scratch off to activate your plan? Mines didn't and I'm here talking taking with straight talk and we are going back and forth. They're saying I should've gotten a pin, I'm saying I didn't. It's annoying lol
Again - there is no pin - they haven't used them for several years. Plan is added with phone activation, it's included on sim.

Omg been on the phone for an hour and they won't help. Don't be an idiot like me and activate this shit on total by Verizon. Make sure it's on straight talk. I just read the first part of my activation booklet and didn't see and assumed it was all the same. They want me to return my phone and all this bullshit. Plus I think they're based in Philippines, I can't understand shit because every person I talk to sounds like they're in the middle of a crowd

Yeah I'm going back and forth with them, and they're saying there should be a pin. I told them the other phone I got activated without a pin. They want me to send it back.

It's already been covered. Not a good idea.
Where was this discussed? I thought this was easy but you had to use a new SIM card instead of the original. I haven't heard of any issues or concerns with this.

Once I activate the imei online. Can i take the sim card and put it into another phone that I have unlocked to take advantage of the new/line service for the month itll be active? will that interfere with the unlock process you think?
I haven't seen discussion on this. I remember it was recommended to change out the sim on straight talk and then out the new sim into the new iPhone.

I can say, I did put the sim card inside the spare iphone and the service did work on it. But i popped it out now since the last reply indicated its not a good idea...

That's because you tried to activate on the wrong provider.
You screwed up by trying to activate sim on Total since you bought a Straight Talk plan.

Yeah, the phones can usually be activated on the sister companies, but doing so loses the plan if it's not activated on the branch it was purchased from. There are times when people would still want to do that (for instance, they already have service on TF or Total and want to use the phone with it immediately) but it's something that should only be done if you don't care about losing the plan.

Yeah I know, I screwed up. So all I know is that they were able to switch it from total back to straight talk. But even so they say they don't see my monthly plan. I hung up for now to see what I can do. Now when I try to activate online, instead of it saying the number has been used it goes to the next page but needs me to log in (it doesn't give me a option to register) I use the only email I know and request a new password but nothing. Even in my spam there isn't anything so I'm just stuck.I know I screwed up but I thought it could still be a quick fix if I called but nothing.

Not recommended, just wait for unlock and have support remove from ST account. You can then use BYOP sim to activate on TF account.

Are you sure that you actually registered an account with them? If not, go create an account separately at their main webpage and then go back to the process once you have your login and password set up.

Also, make sure that you select "new phone purchased from ST" when activating … you never want to choose "I have my own phone" or it won't get the automatic unlock.
