Is it possible to SUE tracfone or straight talk or do something about their abuse? I activated 2 iphone 13's on december from past deal… more than 60 days have passed, i never paid for a second month… but anyway phones should be unlocked by now since I followed their conditions… at first on the site to check eligibility for unlocking BOTH devices showed there were OK to unlock and site asked me for an email to send instructions that never came. Now the tracfone unlocking site states both devices are NOT ELIGIBLE and when I try to ask for help to CS they basically want me to pay again for another month's because they NEED so send me an SMS just to verify my account and JUST TO CHECK what happened but not any warranty of anything. CROOKS
do a free imei check on sickw dot com and see what it says

My iphone 13 can't keep two apps open in 2025. It's so bad. Horrible phone.

It should unlock automatically by connecting to itunes and wifi and leaving it for a bit, this worked for me. Will test out another phone tomorrow.

The unlock policy has changed and they seem to require now 60 days of active service, as of 4/1. One may have to buy another month of service of 30days to complete the 60 day requirement. All the threads of tracfone, total wireless, straight talk etc. (all Verizon) are full of complaints about it.

In general, sometimes it will Auto Unlock, sometimes you may have to put another sim from a carrier that is not the locked one in it and reboot. The sim does not have to be active, but it should be ATT or T-Mobile or international carrier in this case or any of their MVNO's (resellers).

If you activated prior to April 1 and 60 days has past since your activation and the iPhone didn't unlock, you probably will need to file an FCC complaint. Someone else in a different thread got his phone to unlock that way by paying for 1 month of service.

Does it require an active plan? I got a one-month plan, and now it is not an active plan. Thanks.

it is tricky now. likely yes i had 2 phones one unlocked and one did not. So best buy 2 month or if you buy just phone from WM for example, convert it to tracfone and buy 3 month basic plan. I am debating to buy another month or just use it as trade in as it would be similar value.
