That can bring down the effective price to 204. (You still have to pay tax on 249 though)
Adding the link to the previous thread.
A bit more than the previous deal after taxes+fees but similar overall.
I purchased it last time and consensus was that you need to purchase the silver plan at minimum to get this price. Only need to buy one month of service. Wait another 30 days (60 days total) then the phone will be carrier unlocked.
It's $40 higher than BF deal since this only needs $35 plan but the BF deal needs $45 plan.

Does this mean we can purchase without the plan and wait out 2 months?
No, you still need to activate it to get it unlocked. In the past, you can activate it with tracfone $10 plan on tracfone website even it's a straight talk phone. That would be cheaper than straight talk $35 plan
thanks

Despite this, I'm guessing I still have to wait out the 60 days for phone to unlock before I can pop in my existing sim from my iPhone 11 over to the 13, or can I pop my sim card into the iPhone 13 straight of the box because its using Verizon towers already?
Also, I'm having trouble understanding why the deal details only specifies one month of service is needed when the phone takes 60 days to unlock? I opted out of autopay at checkout screen because of this and just paid for the $35 month service along with the $250 phone at checkout.
The only thing I could find on their unlocking policy page is that, "The cellphone was activated with TracFone service by purchasing and redeeming an airtime plan on that specific phone ("Activation")." So I guess that means buying service for the phone, but implies it doesn't need to be continuous running service for it to unlock.
TracFone will remotely unlock the phone when it becomes eligible for unlocking, provided it meets the following conditions:
The cellphone must be in working condition and turned ON.
The cellphone has not been reported stolen or lost, and there are no indicators of fraud.
The cellphone was activated with TracFone service by purchasing and redeeming an airtime plan on that specific phone ("Activation")
For all cellphones Activated with TracFone service on the Verizon network on or after November 23, 2021, the cellphone will be remotely unlocked automatically, sixty (60) days after Activation.
