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.

After activation did the lines show up immediately on the accounts even if you don't do the sim insert and restart?

I went through the activation with the correct sim in the red booklet and got the prompt that accounts were activated but the lines don't show up on the accounts on straighttalk.com.

Update Figured it out. Yes, they do. Somehow the account they they were activated on was different than the email address they were activated with.

Yes, the lines should show up under the "manage lines" tab after going through the activation process regardless of whether you ever touch the phone or not. However, I'd give it some time and see if it shows up later (assuming the activation was successful.

I kept refreshing until one came back for me, order successfully placed. Got confirmation number. But when I went back it's out of stock again. Wouldn't hurt refreshing the page, might come back again

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.)
Thank you my issue is I call and talk with agent and I am not sure if it bring your phone or activate new phone method but I am hoping since customer for more than 5 year nor straight talk and total own by Verizon hopefully they unlock after 60 days . Thank you for your help

I used guest check out and so had a hard time activating phone online. Instead, I activated by calling and using automated system. Just asks for IMEI and zip code and generates a phone # and phone is activated. Texting unlock to 611611 shows it will unlock in 60 days.

I wasn't sure if the MS and FU rewards would stack. Please keep us posted when you find out.
MS posted $30 each. Both charges showing as pending on Chase so not sure how that will play out but they definitely should stack. FWIW Chase has a new Straight Talk offer, same terms, that expires 29 days from today. I had it on both CSR and FU so added to both in case Chase tries to be cute with posted date of charges vs purchase date.

Question I ordered my phone on the 12th received it on the 15th ( confirmation email within 30 minutes ) all is good

I ordered a second phone on the 13th different name , different phone number, different email account , same credit card, same address. I never got a confirmation email I called the credit card company and it said it never was billed for a second time.

if the phones become available again should I just make another order?
