Can you please let us know how you got it down to $75, as opposed to 2 month * $55 = $110?
For the second month, I got the Bronze ($35) plan. For some reason, I got a $10 discount when I added it to the cart, plus $1 off for autopay. So, $50 for the Gold, if you got autopay, plus $24 for the Bronze. Some people said the didn't get the $10 off, so ymmv. Someone else said when they called the Unlock Dept and got denied under the old 60 day policy, they asked about a discount and got a better discount code. It was in one of the other threads. Again, ymmv.

Good thing is it's not required for ID verification

Also second month you can change to $30 per month plan

Check your credit card for rewards
Yup, got 25% off at straight talk on my Chase card again, up to $15. Only bad thing is you need to pay the 2nd month and hope it unlocks on the last day since it's 60 days consecutive now. If it doesn't unlock, it'll be a huge run around with customer service until you give up...

Wasn't 60 days consecutive for me. Just 60 days of service. My 2024 G Power unlocked today, after 30 days service, 30 days inactive, 30 days service, then finally after 3 days inactive.

Did you have to call to have it unlocked after 60 days, or did it unlock automatically on the 60th day?

Did anyone here buy this phone in March before the April 1 change in unlock policy and get unlocking after filing an FCC complaint?

Buying/activating before April 1 has made no difference. Filing complaint doesn't really do anything (it gets you a call from support that tells you the new policy).
They're saying any phone unlocking after 4/1 needs to meet the new requirements.

It unlocked automatically. I just kept rebooting and kept it on wifi every morning. I was putting off calling dreading it. Frankly, after 3 days being inactive, I had given up on it unlocking automatically.

You can also call customer care after your first month expires and beg them for the $10 talk/text only plan to be applied for your second month. I have seen several others able to do this on Total and TF. For $10, I don't mind paying for another month for guaranteed unlocking on day 60.

Was it unlocked before 4/1? Heard they changed their policy and their official policy is 60 days consecutive if calling trying to get your phone unlocked.

See my post above, and read their policy for yourself.

Agreed, but that's basically true for all Verizon mnvos, not just straighttalk. At least with ST, there is no "shady" id verification to deal with.if I had to choose to get this phone for the same final price from ST vs Total, I would choose ST just to avoid id verification. YMMV
Why talk about other providers instead of evaluating this specific deal on its merits?

Thanks for the link. Got a couple iPhones I need to request. Guess other SD'ers were either giving false info or getting false info from the reps:
"For all cellphones Activated on the Verizon network on or after November 23, 2021, the cellphone will be remotely unlocked automatically 60 days after paid Activation and 60 days of paid active service."

has anyone filed complaint with the FCC on this shady practice? They changed on 4-1 but I bought my phone in Feb + March. Effectively they said they were able to retroactively apply the policy for a purchase made during time when it was only 30 day to unlock. I filed & str8talk called back reiterating the policy. Now awaiting FCC response. Wondering if others have gotten any updates that did the same thing?

I bought in March 20, reached out to this as***les today for unlock
Not eligible as I paid for 1st month

Now they saying pay for 2nd month. Then your cycle for 60 days start when you activate 2ms month paid cycle

So in short you get this phone unlocked after 120 days if you are screwed by this new policy

So if anyone plans to get it unlocked make sure you pay 2 consecutive months do not break the cycle

I paid 30 to unlock website to get my phone unlocked which come about same 55 + 30 or you go 55+35 bronze recharge
