Wonder if it's worth holding out to see what the upcoming SE4 brings and at what price point.

FALSE INFORMATION!
Many of us have unlocked ST/TW/TF models at 60 days with only the original 30 days of paid service.
Just read any of the TF/TW/ST threads on SD in the past 3 years, you'll find plenty of actual users confirming unlock procedure.

Do your research. CS is very poorly trained & often just reads from a manual or script, they know less than most users.

FYI - my 13 unlocked just now, a day earlier than txt message said - with only the original purchased 30 day plan.

NOTE: unlock policy has changed as of 4/1/25 and now requires 60 days of paid service (30 days no longer works).

Also , not all stores do in-store activation. So you have to find out store , who have OSL team member that can help you with activation. So its YMMV

Will the same unlock policy applies for other iPhones from straight talk like iPhone SE3? Please help
It applies to all phones sold by Straight Talk, Total Wireless and Tracfone. Unlock policy has nothing to do with model of phone.

For all cellphones Activated with TracFone service on the Verizon network on or after November 23, 2021, the cellphone will be remotely unlocked automatically, sixty (60) days after Activation.

So to be clear, if I buy this and go thru 2 months of service, then cancel that service, I have an unlocked phone that can use any SIM?

One month paid service in enough, nothing to cancel when it's month to month.
It's been explained in thread.

After first month, can I transfer the number to another carrier or do I have to wait out after two months in order for the unlock process to work?

I would like to know this as well. It is not mentioned in this post and this forum is huge given the history of these kind of deals. Number port ins are usually given better deals, so I would like to recycle through different carriers until it is exhausted.

To unlock, do I let the number go inactive (sockdrawer my phone) with SIM/eSIM after the month of service? Or Can I transfer the number to Metro/Cricket/Total to avail their deals as well?

I got in on the previous deal and have decided not to use the phone. How much can I sell it for unlocked, new in sealed box?

Quick question - I heard in other threads where ppl said that if you try to order more than one phone from ST or Total Wireless at the same address, the address will get banned. Does it apply to this Walmart deal as well.

Yes. This happened to me. Be careful

My local store refused this offer. The website shows it in stock, but they say they don't have any. Not sure why, but it could also be a genuine mismatch of inventory.
Sometimes staff resell in Facebook

Only if you have bought more than one phone at once. I bought a previous deal a couple years ago and am still able to do this one

This has happened in some instances where the packer doesn't scan the 2nd barcode, but it's not the norm. If that happens, you can still return the phone and get the money back.
Agreed, we bought one of these during the holidays and had no issues with activation. It just automatically unlocked after 60 days a few days ago and we are using on our Spectrum phone service. No issues whatsoever on the Straight Talk side. The most challenging thing was setting up the bring your own device set up on Spectrum. We needed to chat with a rep and she got us going pretty quickly.

I am a iPhone se guy, I like the home button. My se3 is almost done it glitches out and gets slow , my memory is close to full. I've been waiting on se4 to come out for several months now last I read it's due in march. It's not going to be 200$ or close maybe double if we're lucky . I'm considering this 13 altho I hate not having a home button.

I had every SE since the beginning until I got a 12 2 years ago. And I was big time Touch ID. Hated the idea of Face ID because I knew people with the X and XS who had to do stupid smiles just to make the thing unlock.

The 12 and on fixed that. It's shockingly good. It's so good it's actually faster than Touch ID. I couldn't believe it. Everyone I know who struggled with Touch ID I tell them to get a more modern iPhone because it's worth it.

But this was also the clincher for me. SE battery life is horrendous. And the standard iPhone 12 even had more than double the battery life of any SE model. And the 13,14,15,16 has better battery life than the 12. When you enable dark mode. It's super crazy energy efficient.

I went from having to fully charge my phone 2-3 times a day to never. Or once a day at night.

Do not buy from WM. They will send you a phone with scanning it properly and you will not be able to activate it.
If the correct staff member is in the store they can activate it right there. There is a process that they need to follow. I had to take the phones back to store and the manager was able to first refund and charge again with doing the activation.
