Straight Talk canceled my order but never refunded my payment. 4 calls to Straight Talk and one month later and I still had no refund. They actually told me that I had to take it up with PayPal. So I did. And then I had to wait a few weeks more while PayPal investigated. I got my refund but Straight Talk sat on my money that whole time.

Going to try next week. Hopefully I have no issues.
Anybody has the same problem?
Also, when I turn the phone on, the logo is Verizon, is that normal?
In the phone setting, can't find the sim card unlock status.
I didn't try to insert other carriers sim card to the phone to check unlock status because not sure if that will effect unlocking.
Do you know how to check A16 unlock status?
Thank you.

To check if the phone is unlocked:
1. Settings
2. Connections
3. More connection settings
4. Look at network lock status. If it says unlocked, it is unlocked.

I checked more connection settings. It is locked.
Do you know why I dial #83865625#, it says "connection problem or invalid mmi codes". Does that effect automatic unlocking after 60 days?
Thank you.

Yes true. I main a iPhone 15PM 1Tb. Picked up an unlocked straighttalk iPhone 13 128. And bought the Total Verizon A35 for access to the Galaxy store coupons. As long as this phone can run Genshin Impact to access the Galaxy store I'm good.
It seems to be in store only. My Experience was similar to everyone else's, you go in and talk to the cell team, they get you set up (ask name, email no id req.)
Sim Is pre-installed
I haven't really used the device as my plan to install a custom ROM was thwarted by Samsung's locked bootloader but am curious and currently testing to see if it is carrier unlockable after 2 months alike straight talk.
Walmart's website lists it as carrier locked but am not too confident.
