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.

Quote from slaedkcils :
Regarding 60 day unlock... I chatted with CSR, and asked if 60 days of continuous service is required for unlock, or 30 days paid + 30 days wait. This is his reply regarding 30 days pay + 30 days wait:

That can be possible but I would highly advise to have 60 days of continuous service so that the unlocking request process will be smooth.If you only do half or 30 days, the system will take longer to unlock it compared to the 60-day requirement

So, has anyone have actual experience with doing the 30+30 method and have their phone unlocked?
I've used them for the one month and they've unlocked every single time.

That's all they've had for this deal, get a different color case.

Quote from RUBYSTEVENS :
Only rumors on the se specs. I doubt most of them, or the price will be way higher than anticipated. Consider if rumored specs are true, it cannibalizes 14, 15 sales. That's not Apple.
The Apple iPhone SE will definitely have a 6.1" display. There is no way that they are going back to a 4.7" display with a touch ID sensor. Lot of credible sources are saying the same and bringing up the big bump up in processor. Remember the iPhone SE 2022, iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 all used the A15 bionic? SE 2025 will be way more powerful. I am not saying the iPhone 13 is bad but just stating it is a 2021 line (discontinued) with $244 deal and a new powerful Apple "budget" around the corner.

Quote from BlueJuice8416 :
So the correct procedure is:
  1. Add phone to cart
  2. Select Silver Unlimited plan
  3. Enable auto pay
  4. Get phone and activate
  5. Disable auto pay and end stop renewing the monthly service?
  6. Wait 60 days to unlock.
Step 5 is where I'm not sure. Does ST let you just end the Silver Unlimited plan without any strings?
Select auto pay during the purchase for the $2.50 discount. The default for auto pay on the account is off. It is located at the bottom of the Account & Payment page under Payment Methods. Just don't turn it on.

YMMV but I was able to get the phone for $199 from Walmart during their first BF event 1 sale, and it didn't require a plan purchase. Hotter for me as I just popped in my Safelink (Tracfone sim) and unlock after two months. Bought online for shipping but it was delivered from a store. It's in the Walmart BF sale again starting tomorrow. Good luck!

Is this worth it to buy (and wait for 60 days to unlock) for the purpose of future trade in such as t mobile? Sometimes tmobile has $800 trade in with iphone 12 and newer right? So ill basically be saving $555.

Did you Text UNLOCK to 611611 and confirm the unlock date? Someone said if your sim card does not have a new purchased plan, your new phone will not be unlocked.

I was told by CS there is no way to cancel an order after it's been submitted. They advised rejecting the delivery from UPS, however this is difficult as there is no signature required. They then told me to call them to process a return. Just don't open the phone.
Did you call them to return? How did the return go?

So $290 in total, and you wait 2 months before you unlock. You can get a good condition one for $318 from eBay now. Is this a good deal?

I didn't end up having to. Ironically, my order was cancelled by the system (this was the 3rd one I had tried to order). And I had even accidentally ordered the phone at full price ($399). If you check the original thread about this deal I had posted about this.
