you can buy bronze plan - $35 on the last day from walmart.com and select Direct Top Up option and provide phone number.
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Straig...om=/search


Straight Talk has a "Reserve" system:

you can add a plan to your account before your current service ends. Straight Talk Extras+1
Plans you add to the Reserve are automatically applied on your Service End Date.

What Happens If You "Activate Now" Instead of Reserving

If you choose to not reserve but instead apply the new plan immediately, Straight Talk warns: you will lose any remaining days on your current plan.

Scenario ("$55 plan ends Dec 17, 2025; you want to add a $35 plan early for the second month")


If you add the $35 plan now and put it in Reserve, it will not start immediately. Instead, it will wait and begin on Dec 17, 2025, when your current $55 plan ends.
It won't overlap or "stack" service days unless you choose to activate the plan immediately (which is risky because you'll lose remaining days).

Seems like a pretty good deal! I'm wondering if somebody can help me with some questions I have about it:
I see that it's also for $299 online or if you don't do the activation thing, locked to Straight Talk. I already have a few Straight Talk phones for several years in my family; don't really have any complaints. We do the $90 for 3 lines unlimited monthly prepaid card.
I'm looking to replace 2 of those phones, which are aging iPhone XR models. From what I've read, I shouldn't have any problem just buying a phone for $299 and transferring the service from one of those XR models to one of these 16e models? And then it would unlock after a few months of service (not that I would be changing carriers, anyway)? It should be doable online, too, right?
I'm hoping I have my information right. This would make for a wonderful Christmas present for my loved one, and I could also finally upgrade my phone, too. Thanks for any information you may have!

What about month 2 service cost? So it will be $300+ in total with taxes after 2 months of service. Worth it for an unlocked 16e?

Either way, you're saving greater than $200 vs right up buy at Apple.

I'm surprised this doesn't get much upvotes. This is vastly cheaper than buying brand new from the store and a better value compare to older phone with lesser number
software support. $250.
What gives?
