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

I have a T-Mobile family plan. Can I buy this phone, checkout as guest, add and activate it on my T-Mobile account, and then it unlocks after 60 days automatically?

New activations are only on the Verizon network. They are maintaining T-mobile plans for existing customers on those plans for an undetermined time.

1 month is sufficient.
I'm also a little lost here. I have a kiddo on Good2Go mobile, which is working great for the kids, but she wants an iphone for her birthday and this one seems to be a solid deal.

So if I buy this, and get 1 month of service, do I port her number from Good2Go to Straight Talk for a month, then ... what happens between end of month 1 and the 60 day unlock period? She'd need to stay with Straight Talk if she wanted to keep the iPhone, right? Then after the 60 days I could port her back to Good2Go?

I placed an order in the morning and haven't received any order email from them after 15 hours. My credit card was charged immediately when order was placed. I created an account during checkout process so I tried to log into my account and it prompted me to verify my email by sending a 6 digits code. However, I never receive the code in my email; it's not in the spam folder either. Will call customer service tomorrow to sort out.

Have chat then get escalated and then someone from Straight Talk call me and confirm my order doesn't get through. I can ignore my pending chare and try to place new order again.

You could port and pay for the second month, the problem may be the phone doesn't unlock until day 61 as happens , and you'd have to start the port early as generally only active numbers port, so you probably pay a third month. Got a BestBuy account with a coupon? They have plans so maybe a discount.

Actually I'd rather not mess around - maybe I'll buy, order 1 month of new service, let her play with the phone for 60 days until it unlocks, then switch her sim over. That way there should be no downtime and I'm just paying for that extra 1 month service on ST.

The right call I think, and the cheapest.

I don't get how the remote unlock works. When you have no service on day 60, you cannot receive messages? Wifi will provide internet access but how does this exactly work? Who will initiate the unlock process? Does the phone has a timer which will trigger an app to check some server for the code?

Set a reminder in your calendar to check it, you don't get a notification.
ST/TW/TF iPhones have been unlocking automatically for several years, there's nothing you need to do as long as you're connected to wifi, it couldn't be any easier.

Pulled the trigger on this. Between the $15 from Chase, 12% from a cb site and a $140 trade in offer on my iPhone 12 mini with a degraded battery, this is a slick deal.
How did you get a trade in offer? Does this site allow trade ins?
