Deal Details
The deal in December I missed due to holiday shopping for the family. On the straight talk site currently the iPhone 13 new is coming up as 249 when you add any plan. When adding the phone it pops up promo for existing customers but it allowed me to go through checkout as guest or logged in to my account. Automatically unlocks 60 days after activation

It comes with service for 30 days. No need to pay for service after that.
It does not. It's 294.00 with the cheapest Silver plan for at least 1 month service.

Any chance I could purchase this phone and then activate it on an existing total wireless account?

You can text UNLOCK to 611611 and you'll get a response with your unlock date.
if not on plan, how will this texting work?

Oh my bad. I thought it was the same deal as the one from November that included 30 days of service.

Why text it more than once? The unlock date won't change.

You probably can, but doubt it'll unlock because:
Tracfone unlock terms:
The cellphone was activated with TracFone service by purchasing and redeeming an airtime plan on that specific phone ("Activation")

It's the same mindset where people lean over the platform edge to see if the train is coming.

Observing it won't make the train arrive any faster.

Don't get it the new iPhone SE is strongly rumored to be very affordable sub 500 and a 14 outside and 15/16 inside phone
It due out by may

Seems to be a fantastic phone for the price
Rumors. Without a confirmed release date, let alone any official announcement.

If you can wait, sure. All technology becomes a better "value" when you can afford to wait. But if you need it now, evaluate the offer being presented. Not some hypothetical "maybe possibly someday".

Yeah, Tracfone companies have been known to assign each sim card ICCID to a single phone's IMEI. That's why most people had trouble with unlocking, they were swapping sim cards around but the sim card that came with the phone must be activated and kept in the phone for at least 60 days the unlock to happen. Service supposedly doesn't need to be full 60 days, but Tracfone companies have been known to have batches of phones which weren't scanned into their system correctly so the unlock never goes through. The only way to activate these phones was with a customer service representative since Tracfone doesn't recognize it as a Tracfone device, which means that they can never be unlocked, especially since their own customer service will throw you through loops for hours on end.

I've been reading Straight Talk locked devices can be activated on Total by Verizon. Total has $20 per month if you bring a phone. Wondering if you can buy this then activate on Total for $20 for a month to have it unlock.

The 13 is still a good phone, my battery is under 80 now, I'm going to pay to have a new battery put in and keep this thing going. Some YouTube videos show the 13 camera produces very good pictures still even compared to 16. If you are on the fence, grab it.

I have two ip13 and idk what apple did this time with their updates but they literally are unusable. Take that as you wish. I'm starting to think ios18 was just too much.

-Random restarts
-gets hot
-ui freezes

I got ip12 for 120. Is it worth it the upgrade to ip13 for 250? Thanks.
