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.

I talked with the customer service an they told me that the phone must be in service with them during 60 days...
Yeah, most of their reps are clueless. They're completely wrong on that point and you'll even still occasionally get one who says their unlock policy is one year, which hasn't been the case in ages.

Verizon's 60 day unlock policy was due to the purchase of the 700mhz spectrum. By the purchasing agreement, they have to unlock these phones.

https://www.howardforums.com/thre...d.1924575/

TLDR: Verizon is permitted by the FCC to lock phones for 60 days, on the basis of 'fraud prevention' only. Verizon stated to the FCC they would review and unlock devices on a case by case basis when concerns were raised by third parties. On personal experience Verizon held firm that I needed to wait 60 days even when proving there was clearly no fraud involved. To resolve I sent emails to the corporate email addresses waited a day and filed an informal complaint to which Verizon immediately conceding stating it was an oversight. Most consumers are not aware of the rules Verizon agreed to, and Verizon exploits that to abuse the customer relationship.

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
Perfect!

Yes, and $200 for 16 Pro, which I am seriously considering going for. But I am going to wait a bit and see if any better deals pop up.

Got my device today, but there was no airtime card included in the package to activate the line. Had to call their support and spent almost 90 mins with 3 different people to finally get the device and service activated.

If you had read previous posts you would know phones haven't come with airtime cards for at least 3 years - plan is included on sim and gets activated when sim is activated.
Could have saved yourself a lot of time and frustration.
Simple activation instructions have been posted here numerous times, please read and follow.

I received my second phone today, how do you activate the second line?

Do you click "Activate" on their website,
or do you go to Manage Lines, then click "Add a Line"?

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 servicesstraight talk qualifies as port in promotion at visiblehttps://www.visible.com/help/promotions
Can you explain more? Is it porting in to get a $250 gc or is it a $250 discount off buying the phone?
