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.

Would MKSD work on this to use with T-Mobile before the 60 day unlock?

Thank you for the detailed information. I am not an iPhone person, so curious is there a big leap between 13 and 14? I wanted to understand how this deal stacks against the walmart deal for iphone 14 @ $300? Also, would you or anyone know if the steps mentioned here (losing network access after 1st month) work for the walmart deal to unlock the phone after 60 days?
Walmart deal is technically better since you can get 256gb phone. I still went for this one because the Walmart one has more complex steps and I am not currently a Verizon/ATT customer. If you look in the walmart deal, you need to cancel within 3 days of the phone shipping (if on Vz) to truly get the deal at $300.

My cashback expired a couple days ago. But I checked today and the same offers are available again.

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.
I have buy 199 Walmart deals I have call total wireless transfer iPhone 11 to iPhone 13 when talk with total customer support representative she transferred to iPhone 13 but when sent 611611 it sent unlocked policy and didn't give unlock date ? Do you think rep activated Bring your own device . I will not get phone unlocked ? Can call ask them to unlock or check what she has done? Thank you

According to some, this is the case. I have 2 phones from the Walmart deal and activated on Total Wireless. One I opened and validated the unlock date with a text to 611611. The second I left sealed. Both show up on sickw dot com as activated, so I guess we'll see what happens on Jan 12 (60 days) for the sealed one.
Did 6116111 give you unlocked date or give website check

Make sure that you send the UNLOCK text twice … it doesn't always work the first time. If they entered it as a BYOD phone, it would usually return a message something like "Our records indicate you are using your own device".

The unlock policy is sent to everyone who activates a new device and was likely unrelated to your "UNLOCK" text.

Note that you can still probably get the phone unlocked even if it doesn't happen automatically … but that involves dealing with their reps, which can be very hit-or-miss. An automatic unlock just makes things simpler.

* 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.
Same for me, no order confirmation email and only pending transaction when using Paypal. Double checked on junk folder but no emails whatsoever

Thanks, sending the 'UNLOCK' twice to 611611 worked for me.
That said, i'm seeing an unlock date thats 61 days instead of 60 days.

That's odd. I think the text reply has always been 60 days out when I've looked at it in the past. What day did you activate and what day does it say for Unlock? Did you activate late in the day? The activation can sometimes take a few hours, so that could be a factor if it didn't complete until the next day.

Also, keep in mind that the texted date isn't set in stone and the actual unlock day can vary. It usually happens on day 59 or 60, but some users have reported getting it on day 61 to 63 (even as late as day 65 for one or two users in the past).
