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.

Came home and visited ST's website to set up the phone.
Phone came with the SIM card, so no need to purchase that. Was up and running in about 30 mins.
Checked my time to Unlock and it showed 3/10/25. Made a test call and then updated to IOS 18. Letting her sit in the corner plugged in untill it's unlocked. Didn't bother to check on the eSim but it does appear it's capable. Probably won't cut it for this deal or I'm assuming someone would have mentioned it.

The deal experts here on Slickdeals have fine tuned this procedure to a science, doing it thousands of times.
I'm guessing your Walmart employee doesn't have the 10,000x brains of expertise we do.
I'm going to give you a tip. The people in this thread have more intelligence in their little finger than the smartest Walmart CS on earth has in their entire body.
You can bet your life on the fact that only 30 days of service is needed. Even if a billion Walmart employees object.
So "good luck" yourself as you pay for an extra month you didn't need to, just because you fell for something an uneducated Walmart employee made up.
Will that ruling apply on non activated? One can only try and see I guess
My jumping on this deal is all dependent on the total amount of money I have to spend before I can unlock it. Basically, that is the price point this deal will come down to.

We've all done this multiple times on slick deals you don't need to buy a second month of service just activate the phone with one month of service, and put it in away for 60 days and it will be unlocked. This goes for any Verizon MVNO not just straight talk.
