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.

My budget is $300. I'm "upgrading" from an iPhone 6s. Although I've been shopping for a like-new iPhone 13 Mini, this is the deal I've been waiting for. How much is the iPhone SE going to be?
Quote from Bflo23 :
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.

Dudes been bloviating about stuff he knows nothing about. After many posts about how bad this ST deal is and how everyone should wait for the super duper Se4, which no such thing or spec have been confirmed, he's now bragging about buying the 13 over on the Visible thread.

Got mine today and set up was easy. Confirmed unlock date. Set up for Straight Talk. Just going to use for the month and then WIFI only until unlock, when I'll pop in my T-Mobile SIM.

Great deal considering I sold my iPhone SE (3rd Gen) for $170 (just over what I paid for it). Although the processor may be the same, the screen and face ID are a plus. I think the battery life should be better too. I'd say it's worth it for me.
How did you check the unlock date? TIA.

Just curious where you sold your SE? I would be looking to do the same. Thanks.

try Facebook marketplace or even craigslist. If it's like new/excellent condition, unlocked, you should be able to get a good amount for it. eBay isn't good due to around 18% in fees.

Nobody said anything about selling or exporting. One can be visiting the US, and can get this for usage while the person is in the US, after all its a prepaid service. Don't see how that is against the Terms of Use. A person visiting for 1-3 months, may not have US issued credit cards.

Or one can be gifting the phone to their family in the US.

It looks like the order from Nov 19 never went through, maybe some issue with the payment method (Since I didn't personally place the order, not really sure what went wrong). Either way, got a friend to place the order today, and it went through just fine. Initially it showed the status as Payment approved and sometime later has moved to Pending remote fulfilment. So looks like this order is on the right track. Hopefully it gets shipped soon. PSA: Anybody trying to order with a card issued outside the US, it may not go through. StraightTalk seem to be declining orders from their end, even though the transaction itself has gone through with the bank, maybe based on internal risk assessment. The transaction then gets reversed after 24 hours or so. I've been trying with different card networks (Visa/MasterCard/Amex).
My order moved to shipped status few hours after, and got the UPS tracking number, but not picked up yet. Going by the reports here, it can be couple of days before UPS actually gets the package.

I would also suggest www.offerup.com which has been fairly successful for me as a seller.

Ordered a second iPhone13 on 11/25, status is now shipped, but UPS shows still not picked up yet, 4 days later. Seems things have slowed down quite a bit on the second order.

I tried placing an order when I was out of country, and it was blocked by the Straight Talk site, with or without VPN service that changed my location to the US. I had to wait until I got back in country to order.
