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.

Quote from BoonJuice :
so does anyone have a definitive answer if the number can be ported out after activation and won't affect the unlock process? one person said yes another person said maybe if you want to risk it...
I did it with my two SE3 back in February, is that not definitive enough?

While the Walmart 14 deal is better on paper, there are certain reasons why people are going for the 13. Also, this deal only requires 1 month of service and there are some cb deals that brings the price down a bit.
what are those certain reasons?

For me, the main reason is that it is the last US iPhone that supports physical SIM.

I can confirm that my phone came factory sealed with an 'M' designation indicating it's a new phone, not refurbished/replaced/personalized.

iOS 17.6.1 is loaded out of the box and the phone was SIM locked.

It's also less hassle than the Walmart deal. You also don't need to give out your SSN/no credit pulls.

This has been answered a million times already.

1. New phone needs to be activated, through StaightTalk online, for 60-day unlock countdown to begin. Phone does not need to be opened/used.
2. After the 30 plan expires, do not purchase another plan. Use it on WiFi or not at all.
3. After 60 days, phone will automatically unlock for any carrier.
4. Text "UNLOCK" to 611611 to confirm/see countdown.

Before anyone asks again, please read or do a search.

It shouldn't renew if you don't have autorefill enabled, but some people are replacing their credit card info with an expiring or virtual credit card to be safe. I used PayPal (and disabled automatic payments for the merchant within PayPal) so there's no credit card on file on my account, and I don't expect any further charges.

You can, but you don't need to continue service beyond the initial month if all you care about is getting the phone unlocked. It should automatically unlock 60 days after activation whether you have service at that point or not.
