Tracfone unlock terms:
The cellphone was activated with TracFone service by purchasing and redeeming an airtime plan on that specific phone ("Activation")
-Random restarts
-gets hot
-ui freezes
🧂
But for the keyboard issues I recommend turning off some settings in keyboard like
math predict
show predictions in line
Slide to type
Auto punctuation under dictation.
Also go on YouTube and look up iOS 18 performance tweaks. There's probably some settings you have enabled that's causing problems and slowing you down. I hope this helps
Update: Phone arrived and is new. Activated and confirmed unlock date via automated text system. You need to send "help" first and then navigate the menus to confirm unlock date.

I know for sure the locked ST IPhone will accept the TracFone sim but not certain about the unlock.
I am trying to achieve both - that way the phone is unlocked and free for any future changes and I can use my yearly tracfone SIM with this new locked ST Iphone 13 right out of the box.
Current Iphone battery is weak so this is an economical upgrade for me.
But again with tracfone nothing is for sure, they hate sim swaps.

Another deal had a post where someone swapped in an active TF sim (after the 1st 30 days) got it to work but it borked the unlock. Customer had to contact support & the only thing they could do was have them buy a new plan & reactivate the phone to restart the unlock clock and then wait an additional 60 days for unlock.
If unlock is important it's best not to mess around with the Sim - activate the phone and wait till it unlocks before doing anything - it's not worth the hassle if/when something goes wrong.
