It's better to buy it from straight talk website directly since you could get better cashback (12% currently) from some cash back site. Also some chase card give 25% cashback for straight talk (capped at 15).

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 not $50 higher than BF deal.
It's $40 higher than BF deal since this only needs $35 plan but the BF deal needs $45 plan.

This might be good to buy as a trade in for the near future. Iphones always carry extra value on Android Trades. Samsung is revealing the S25 soon.

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
Can you still activate with $10 TF plan if ST does actually ship the iPhone without a plan? Will phone unlock after 60 days by activating using TF?

It's not letting me get this deal unless I'm an existing customer. Am I missing something?

So on Walmarts website it seems like you can just buy the iPhone without any problems. But that doesn't get you a plan with straight talk

I went to straight talks website and just tried to get the bronze plan for 35$ and it wants me to buy a 5$ SIM card kit. It won't let me buy the bronze plan without the SIM card kit.

It would have been nice if OP shared all the extra details and hoops we have to go through.

Jumped on the deal. Didn't take the time to choose the plan. Can I do this via ST website and does the phone have eSim capabilities?

It's not like an Android…there's no straight talk branding or startup screens.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank etm123

The #1 problem with these Walmart online phone deals is that the phone won't activate because the Walmart employee failed to properly scan the barcodes at the register. Feels like it happens 50% of the time when the phone has to either be shipped or picked up at the store. When it happens your only resolution…most times…is to return the phone. So be mindful of the 14 day return window.
