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.

Hi, has anyone been able to order more than 2 phones? Was trying to get 4 for me, my wife and our two kids.

I placed first order with my name and email and CC went through fine and got all the confirmation and everything, placed a second order in my wife's name, used her CC and email for sale confirmation then next day her order got canceled, said order was possibly placed fraudulently. Placed a second order in my wife's name the next day used a different email and CC since it wouldn't give the discount using the same email as it said the promo had already been used on this account. Order went through then about 8 hours later got a email saying your order was successfully cancelled like I tried cancelling it myself. So thought maybe t had something to do with tracking her name since the first one said fraudulent order, so tried again this morning using my name and different email and CC again and just got another your order was successfully cancelled email after first email showed as order went through.
I've been trying to order a 3rd phone using a different email after I was able to order two phones (at the same time - I guess I was lucky) using an inactive ST account I had leftover from the beginning of this year. I've tried using a different shipping address, different cc, different name without success. I did use the same billing address as my first order because I wasn't sure it would go through if the billing address didn't match the one for my cc - maybe that's the problem?

That said, this second account did have a cancelled order from a few days ago so maybe changing the name, cc, etc. doesn't matter anymore. I noticed that when I try ordering a phone using this account it will remove the $200 discount after I log in during checkout. I will try starting over with a new account/email.

I have used sim that was included in phone instead straight talk I used total as wireless provider because I have total wireless ( I have buy at Walmart 199. Deal for pick up ) it activated I am using it just unlocked is now jeopardized now sure total will unlocked after 90 days or not ? I will total after 60 days and see
Cool … that's the proper way to do it. You have to use the SIM included with the phone to activate it (or its eSIM) to get it unlocked properly. Just swapping the SIM from a different phone won't work for the unlock.

Your situation is very similar to what I did with one of my StraightTalk SE3 from Walmart last year. I purchased the phone, but they just rang in the sale price manually and didn't make me buy a plan with it. So I went to my Tracfone account that already had an active number and simply activated the new phone on that plan (as a "new phone purchased from Tracfone"). It unlocked fine after 60 days. (Multiple other people have also done that successfully in previous threads by activating on a sister company to get the unlock. That used to require "re-branding" the phone but that's not needed with some newer iPhones.) It sounds like the only real difference for your case was that you called and had a rep do it (hopefully they didn't screw anything up, but I wouldn't worry about it just yet.)

The $200 discounted is limited to two lines per account. If you try ordering more you will end up paying $399 for them.
If you really want more check inventory at your local Walmart, can get at same price when activated in store. They have no way to know how many you already bought.

Need to use physical sim included with purchase so that plan you purchased gets activated correctly otherwise you might have to buy another plan.
That's what I used when an agent was on the phone with me. And that's when I learnt that the SIM card bundled with the phone wasn't compatible.

I am going to wait for the replacement SIM to show up and try again. Bummer that the unlocking will get delayed.

Thank you for your step to step guide, I'm also in California. Unfortunately, I didn't have paypal connected so I might be only getting the chase deal. But everything else in the steps made it easier for me to set up my phone Smilie
Again, thank you for the clear step to step guide! I hope you have a great weekend.

Thanks for the suggestion. Last year when they were running the SE3 the folks at my local Walmart said they didn't have any, even though online they were showing as having it in stock. I see now it is showing they only have 1 in stock so I have doubts I would be able to find one there. That said, I see it's available for shipping tomorrow (I have Walmart+) and I may give that a try if I cannot order one through ST (MS still is offering 15% cb on ST orders).

Note that others have also successfully used the eSIM to activate their phone in the past and gotten the unlock. I haven't done it myself though, so you may want to get some input from others if considering that option. You can do most everything right on their account homepage and I believe there is an option to choose eSIM when activating …. I highly recommend doing any activations yourself whenever possible to avoid screwups by their reps (although obviously a call may be required sometimes)

(The eSIM is shows up as "IMEI 2" in the phone info … not the main IMEI.)

Hello, I logged in to my capital one account and under shopping offers I searched for straight talk which showed 8%, I don't have a shopping account. Will I get the cash back? Did I do it right or is this different?
