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

[QUOTE=elefante72;175477675]1. 100% you MUST not move the SIM, introduce another SIM, etc. Either use the phone for the first month or put in in a drawer for 60 days. If you do ANYTHING to the active TWS sim, you are SOL. Do NOT touch the SIM (or eSIM), else you WILL be sorry
Where did you come up with this nonsense?

Hey dear SDers, where do you receive the service pin number? it was not sent to my email? Do I have to buy another plan now??
They stopped using pins years ago, the plan is attached to the imei, will attach at activation.

Why so many people bought this instead of spending $200 or less(CB) to get the same deal at Total Witeless?

I see a $149 Total deal that requires port in, Google voice not eligible, and a $250 deal no port in.

Quote from elefante72 :
There seems to be a ton of confusion, I will summarize since I just went through it:1. The phone will unlock after 60 days (you can text for the date)2. You only need to purchase one month and it CAN be the bronze for $35.3. You do not need to purchase second month.4. Applecare is 1 year, and it starts day of activation. This is great.5. After the unlock date, have at it. 6. This is not complex is it. Patience is a virtue. Caveats:1. 100% you MUST not move the SIM, introduce another SIM, etc. Either use the phone for the first month or put in in a drawer for 60 days. If you do ANYTHING to the active TWS sim, you are SOL. Do NOT touch the SIM (or eSIM), else you WILL be sorry2. Turn off auto renew on the plan or use something like privacy.com to control charges3. Why stress in Walmart store, just buy it directly from Straight Talk and activate it in the comfort of your home in 5 minutes. Sure you can go hunt if you like.4. CB did not work in my case, so YMMV. Not saying it isn't possible, just didnt work when I went direct to ST.
can we activate online and not open the iPhone box?

Quote from NeatRose3779[IMG]https://slickdeals.net/images/misc/backlink.gif[/IMG]"They will not unlock your phone if you don't pay for the second month. Or You need to pay the unlocking fee. I chatted with the agent of straight talk."Not been my experience and most of the folks here.I'll add another vote for iPhone 13 will automatically unlock 60 days after activation: Buy iPhone Walmart or straighttalk.com, activate for 30 days with a Straighttalk prepaid plan $35 or $45. Put it away or use it for 30 days you already paid for. Do not auto renew after 30 days. Do not renew after 30 days. Although Straighttalk will remind you before the next (upcoming) 30 days (when your activated original 30 days are almost up. Again, do not auto renew. Do not renew.Put the iPhone aside and patiently wait the next 30 days (making a total of 60 days from activation date) and the iPhone is AUTOMATICALLY unlocked to allow use with a non-Straightalk carrier/provider.I did this Black Friday 2023 (Walmart, iPhone SE3) AND Black Friday 2024 (straighttalk.com, iPhone 13) for a total of 4 iPhones. ALL UNLOCKED IN 60 days along with most everyone in this discussion. Very slick.You can check on your unlock status by texting UNLOCK to 611611 during the 30 days active service.You can get some CB based on your CC or whatever is out there (has been discussed here)
can you activate online and keep the phone sealed in box? or will I need to open it?

IDK I activated it as esim. I did activate it online, but then I had to activate the esim for it to register (which meant opening and activating)

I was able to activate it online without opening the actual box . The date was when you activated it online
So literally if you do not open the packaging and take it out on 60th day
It should be an unlocked iPhone

Has anyone had experience with ST and how they process the 12% CB that's out there? Mine shows Awaiting Merchant Approval.

Same

I ordered on 1/24. On 1/27, the order status changed from pending to approved and my credit card charge posted. I never got a confirmation email. I tried to verify my email and never got the verification email. Under my ST account info, it shows some whacky contact phone #, not the one I entered when I signed up as a new user. I can't change it. Tells me to contact CS. I'm just going to play the waiting game and keep my fingers crossed
Update: UPS delivered my phone on 2/3

If you bought from Walmart you have to buy a separate plan which has the pin, phone doesn't come with plan (read instructions at beginning).

If you bought from Straight Talk website the purchased plan is applied at activation, there is no pin.
