Does anyone have issues with payment getting rejected, have tried multiple credit cards, paypal with no luck. CS is useless. I purchase couple of years ago some phones so not sure if I am blocked but was hoping that after 2 yrs or so gap I should be able to order it...if anyone had this issue and success in reordering let me know please..

It has now changed to free phone plus 3 months of $65 plan plus taxes and activation. Almost $250.
the store in Lodi said 2 months so it appears they have the discrepancy to set their own deals. 1 month on the androids.

I never owned an iphone. I don't buy carrier locked androids. I have 2 questions:
  1. Once these carrier locked iphones are unlocked, can they be updated like a factory unlocked iphone or do I need to wait for the carrier to provide the update?
  2. Do these carrier locked iphones have the same specifications like the factory unlocked iphones?
    Thanks
There's no carrier software on Iphone, all updates come from apple, They're the same model regardless of carrier.

1. Airtag tracking - there are zero Android products as effective because a majority of people in the US have iPhones.
2. The iPhone works better with my old car's stereo interface.
3. I can still use FaceTime via an email address (I might use it twice per year).
4. The video quality of the iPhone 13 is still very good, even compared to my S24 ultra.
5. It's still quite fast for being an older device and still getting updates.
It's funny the only real technical advantage that Apple has is #4. Everything else is due to Apple's closed ecosystem and the resulting lack of competition (literally only 4, maybe 5 models per year to optimize software for if you develop for iOS). For #5 since the S24 series, Samsung will update the S series for 7 years and Google had a long update policy for a while.

They probably put an address block on you, meaning none of the Tracfone brands will ship to your address regardless of payment method used. You can tell whether that's the case if your credit cards don't have any pending charges. Your purchase is being blocked before their system even attempts to bill you. Happened to me and others. For StraightTalk you can use a friend's address but Total Wireless deals often requires ID verification, so you'd have to convince friends/relatives to use their ID and allow a selfie.

just activated a moto edge 2024 and a samsung Ax (whatever) and tons of issues with activations after porting. Neither of the lines worked. Took over an hour to fix one line and the other one is only somewhat fixed.

What does this mean?
Each person has a limit of two purchases at a discounted price while switching, and they keep track of you. If someone has previously reached their limit, they will be unable to take advantage of these offers. Others have stated that you can attempt a different payment method that you have never used before, change your address to an abbreviation, use new email address, or use another form of identification.

Watch out with Total Wireless. If you need technical support they are a total scam. Good luck!

This isn't so much better than StraightTalk. Your price in the title doesn't include the plan cost. So it's 150 + 60 = 210. StraightTalk is 250 (200 + 50 plan) and doesn't require ID verification and port.
no need for 2 months of service, just 1 month- activate for 1st month and it unlocks after 60 days

Total wireless support was no worse than MetroPCS. They answered all questions and did what I requested. Not sure why you call them scam.
