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.

Can you please explain m designation?
Iphone model numbers starting with M are new phones.

"F": refurbished unit
"M": retail unit
"N": replacement unit
"P": personalized (engraved) unit


Though this really doesn't matter, as those designations only apply to direct from apple units. Aftermarket refurbs and open box phones will still have M designations.

Yeah, the web portal will say not eligible at this point. If you're not getting a reply to that text, there's no telling what's up with it. I'd try rebooting the phone and try texting UNLOCK to 611611 again. If still no reply, try texting FOUR TO 611611 to see if you get any replies at all from them. If no reply at all, you may want to try again tomorrow. I have seen their systems act flaky for a while sometimes.
I get reply after sending last four of your imei or byop sim are xxxx for list of available services reply help .

Thanks for the writeup- One question - is it necessary to pay with Paypal, or just jump-off from there to capture the 7.5% like other cb sites?

Interesting. Not sure why it's not replying when you text unlock. I'd try again later (or tomorrow). Hopefully it's just a temporary thing and starts replying at one point. You could also try uppercase or lowercase UNLOCK / unlock. That should not make any difference at all and I don't think that it does, but I think a couple of people in the past said changing the case might have helped (again, doubt it would help, but just one more thing to try).

I don't know … I definitely wouldn't decide until you give it another day or so though and see if it starts replying at some point. A return would probably be a headache and you would likely lose the cost of the plan. Also, your phone may very well unlock … it's hard to tell what's going on with it if you're not getting a reply. You may just need to wait and see and then give them a call if it fails to unlock.

Here's what I learned…text "help" to 611611…then wait for response…then text "unlock". The response SHOULD be the unlock date. This worked for me.

How does a carrier IOS different from carrier Android devices?
I recently bought the Motorola Edge 2024 via straighttalk and it was good, no carrier boot logo, and the specs is the same as the unlocked retail version. However on the software side, it come with many pre-installed apps from tracfone, some of which are impossible to remove/disabled, some of them auto install 3rd party apps (mobile services - disableable).It is a privacy and security concern to the people that care. Lastly, it has been known to impossible to unlocked the boot loader (not the same as carrier unlocked). Which allowed the user to root or loading different OS on their device. Therefore in someway you're still locking to StraightTalk/Tracfone.

I would like to know if it's the same with IOS? I haven't using IOS for a while, and never using carrier IOS. Is it come with pre-installed apps, carrier logo that can't be removed? or the ability to software update directly from apple instead a Tracfone channel? Any restriction that one should be aware before jump on the deals?

You screwed it up when you used an active sim. You have to pay for and use a ST plan, which was attached to the sim that came with the phone. You can't use an active sim and get it unlocked.

No, there's none of that with iOS. It's like buying a brand new phone from Apple, except that it's locked to Straight Talk for 60 days.
