Same issue finally got it activated using the Straight Talk app on my S25
Activated on app succesfully. I had issues with my account not being recognized for login, so I made a new one and was able to activate there

I activated online on https://www.straighttalk.com/->Activate->Straight Talk Phone->I want a new number. Entered my IMEI number. I used a new email address/account.
Under my Account Dashboard -> Manage Lines and Devices. I got a new phone number with 29 days left.
Not sure how to check the unlock date. Tried this site - https://www.tfwunlockpo
- but got "We apologize. Your device is not eligible for our Unlocking Program". Maybe it needs time to update, so will check back tomorrow.

It will be a massive upgrade from my Dad's SE3. No it's not a flagship but the memory and processor will kept it going for a while.
My only observation is the phone feels a lot lighter than my 16Pro.
I got so many orders cancelled like this, now I can't even place order because I keep getting payment declined message
Did you ever get an order to go through? I just spent an hour on the phone with chat and customer service. They say my order is in processing status and won't send a confirmation email until the order is ready for shipping. It sounds like a load of crap and their reps were pretty clueless. I haven't received one form of communication from my order so far. Every time I order from this company there is a problem.
