iPhones are unlocked automatically 60 days after activation (with IMEI and a paid plan). You don't even need to open the box. Simply check sickw.com on day 60 or 61 and the status should show unlocked. You can then setup the phone anywhere, without or with a SIM from different service provider.

Bought this from previous deal.

Used edge with ms shopping which was 15% back last time. Bought 2 and showing $30 back pending on both transactions. It's 12% now and seems the best deal available.

I had chase offers on both freedom unlimited and CSR for 25% back capped at $15. Those both qualified so $45 cb plus standard cb from credit cards combined. I see the chase offers are back on both of those cards for me now; almost tempted to try and buy 2 more.

Received both phones, they will come with SIM card and instructions taped to back of iPhone box. Follow instructions which include going to straight talk activation website and inserting the sim. The silver, or whichever plan you choose, is tied to the sim and you will see a message to that effect when completing activation on the website. Once activated, text UNLOCK to 611611 twice and you will receive a response that lists the unlock date. You only have to pay 1 month of service and the device will unlock 60 days post activation.

The iphone SE 2025 is coming in March 2025. We always see these SE phones get deals somewhat soon after its launch. I am little surprised to see so many people overly hyped about the iphone 13 considering it is a 2021 phone and it will soon be 2025. The iphone 13 has been discontinued.

I think the iPhone SE 2025 would have some great deals on black friday 2025 if one is willing to wait. We will also see the iphone 14 being discontinued and getting great sales next year too. Two "budget" iphones.
The great deals at launch usually involve bill credits, Bf 2025 is more than a year away, ip14 doesn't have many benefits over this, and if you want, need psim this is the phone.

You should get a discount on the 2nd plan, and don't forget cashback.

Each time I try to order online my order gets cancelled a few hours later. So I went to a walmart store and they started the activation process with my name and email and their scanning the phone box and entering the IMEI. Then it reached the 'create account' step and no further progress could be made. Their clicking on the 'create account' button seemed to be processing but when it stopped it just stayed on the same page. So I could not get the barcode to buy the phone. I tried this a two different stores. Anyone ever have a similar experience or have any suggestions? Thanks!

Can I activate the sim card on the iphone to start the unlock countdown, then use the sim card in a different unlocked device without having to call them? Is the sim card locked to the device it is activated on or it can just easily be used in another unlocked device without having to call their CSR?
A few have claimed they were to do it, nobody reports back, make of that what you will. I suspect most chicken out, opting for the safe way of get ting a new sim, risk-reward.

I ordered two for my parents. Funny enough, one of them is registered under Total Wireless for some reason. I spent almost two hours on the phone with Straight Talk CS to fix it.

And the Iphone 15 will get great sale in 2026, the cycle continues. Your logic is flawed

I'm in it for the sim slot. You be surprise how many places still do not have esim.

On top of that, some places even charge an esim fee, Im holding on to my 13PM till it dies or when apple wont replace it.

I'm eyeing the SE next march as my parents are complaining the 14/15PM are too heavy to carry around.

Would you guys trade this in for $800 trade-in credit towards Pixel 9 XL at $999? T-mobile has an offer via 24 monthly credits. That would mean the total cost would be about $540 after all is said and done. So, it's about twice the price as this iPhone 13.

I've been with T-mobile forever and don't plan to leave in 24 months, so it wouldn't be a big deal for me, even though it's in essence locking me in like a contract.

I am not talking great deal for iPhone SE 2025 at launch. The other iPhone SE models didn't take that long to get deals. Every iPhone SE had solid deals. People weren't paying MSRP for them or anything around MSRP with its Slickdeals.

The benefit of the iPhone SE 2025 is going to be far longer support than an iPhone 13 from 2021 launch. iPhone 13 (2021) at $244? We will see deals for the iPhone 14 and SE 2025. I think people are just used to expensive iPhones. It wasn't long ago when iPhone 11 and SE 2022 were almost being given away. It is still a 2021 line and we are near 2025. Just saying. There is so much competition nowadays around the under $250 phone market or pay somewhat more and get way more bang for the buck.

Did you miss the part where I literally stated that a brand new iPhone SE 2025 is coming out? 2 iPhones in the budget territory. Double the deals for the budget iPhone users. I can't believe people never heard of the iPhone SE 2025. Do you know its screen size? Guess? It won't be 4.7".

How does the A18 chip compare to the A15? That is a huge gap.

So the correct procedure is:
Step 5 is where I'm not sure. Does ST let you just end the Silver Unlimited plan without any strings?
This is prepaid. That means you pay before you use. The requirement is 1 month. You can just let finish the month and wait for 30 more days...You can also check your unlock status, it tells you exactly the date your phone will unlock.
