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.

Just got mine after ordering Tuesday, box factory sealed with tear strips intact on top & bottom. Sickw shows it was purchased yesterday 11/14/24.

Those strip can be faked... so dont put too much trust on them if its not coming from authorized dealer/seller, you can find those videos on tiktok

* Edit: disregard, I found the order confirmation email in the junk folder, along with the order cancellation email 😭 *

Have any of you placed an order and not receive an order confirmation email? It's been nearly 24 hours and I haven't received it yet. I did place the order using a newly-created email address so I wonder if I fat fingered it. I should've taken a photo of the order confirmation page. I do see the pending charge on my cc, btw.

Speaking of cc charges, that is a bit of a mess. There is a pending charge for one of my cancelled orders that hasn't been reversed yet, and an extra pending charge for 2 phones.

Pending CC charges for any online purchase can often take 3 business days to drop off so I wouldn't be concerned until after that.

Thanks, I'm actually mainly concerned about the extra charge for 2 phones.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank Le-SerKale

I play the phone game a lot.. so basically once the 30 day is up, I'm porting 1 number to visible to do the 250 gc. I bought 2 phones also, if anyone needs a free number to port, I'm not keeping the 2nd number, it'll be free to whoever wants to use it as a port in for other services

straight talk qualifies as port in promotion at visible

Ordered mine on Tuesday, when checking on order it tells me "Status: Error in remote fulfillment". Called Straight Talk and they said, my order shows in progress and paid on their side. Said I should see it by Monday, if not, to call them back. Is anyone seeing this issue on their order?

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.
Just FYI, 10 years ago, straight talk, total and simple was probably scummy company. Verizon owns them now and I bought over 5 phones last 2 years and had auto unlock in 60 days. This isn't the same straight talk you used 10 years ago

Verizon acquired TracFone Wireless, which includes the Straight Talk brand, on November 23, 2021:
Announcement September 14, 2020
Approval November 22, 2021 by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Closing November 23, 2021
As part of the acquisition, Verizon agreed to provide 5G services to Lifeline program participants and continue its participation in the subsidy program for at least seven years.

I had a problem activating the phone and had to call customer service. The first agent said I didn't have a phone plan and couldn't find my order (said the online order number shouldn't have letters in it even though my does?), so she transferred me. Second agent was able to fix everything (added the $45 plan, activated the phone, and verified call/sms/data working), but it did take a little time.

Phone will unlock 01/15/25 according to 611611.

I saw that Verizon has some case options on sale/clearance for $5 [verizon.com] (local store pickup only?)

You really need to read more of the thread. CS is very poorly trained. I unlocked an iPhone this week with only 30 days service, many of us have (for the past 3 years FYI).

Got my phone today. Activated online. Not sure if I was impatient but I did goto Manage Lines to add the number in since it was not showing any lines. Now just waiting for the unlock on 1/15/2025, 2 days before my birthday. A new phone for myself as a birthday gift. LOL

I think that promo only applies when you buy certain phones (e.g $250 for iphone 16 pro max, $150 for iphone 16, etc.)
