You get what you pay for.
You can buy this phone for more without the requirements.
If they did not require this some folks would buy dozens to resell (which I have no exact issue with other than it make such a deal impossible to offer)
Decide for yourself.
It's really no different from walking into T-mobile and signing a contract to get a 'free' or subsidized iphone. They take your id there.

Worked for me
I also recommend waiting till it's officially unlocked before sending it to a different country. There are no guarantees with TW, lots of glitches in their system.

Thanks for confirming. If you don't mind, can you confirm it was not in a country nearby to US like Canada?
As long as it's activated in the US you're probably safe to take it overseas. "The carrier updates the IMEI Database at 60 days: The carrier updates their database to reflect that the iPhone's IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number is now unlocked.Remote Unlocking: The unlocking process is typically done remotely. The carrier sends an unlock command to Apple's servers, which then updates the device's status in their system.Confirmation: After the unlock command is processed, the iPhone will need to connect to the internet (via Wi-Fi or cellular data) to receive the update. Once it does, the device will be unlocked, allowing it to accept SIM cards from other carriers."It's still a bit of a gamble.

I tried calling that number and I was on hold for over half an hour. An agent finally picked up but wasn't from Total Wireless, he was from Simple Mobile. He told me it's a sister company and couldn't activate it for me. He forwarded to what he claimed was a TW agent, after 20 min. Someone from Tracfone picked up and same story, couldn't activate it because he wasn't from TW. I gave up on the phone system and contacted them through chat instead.
