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).

Quote from FuschiaMaid115 :
" A little" work is usually not the case. Employee's at mine are slow, clueless about promotions, unable to help and outright lazy and do the bare minimum. There's tons of DP's about employee's setting you up incorrectly and I end up on the phone with CS for an hr either way.
Lots of stuff is locked up and getting an employee to help is like pulling teeth. In store at Walmart/Discount cell providers has always been not worth dealing with for me and more times than not hidden fee's and processes are not disclosed upfront...but YMMV obviously but the juice isn't worth the squeeze on alot of these instore deals
lol, you poor thing. Best you just stay away.

After 60 days, what steps are needed to unlock? Or it just unlocks on its own?

In store, not any straight talk associate can do this deal, it has to be one that does promotions. I waited an hour for that person and left.

So is it possible to downgrade to lower plan the second month to complete the 60 day active service for unlock? If so, is there any cheap plans available on ST that will qualify.

This is precisely why I'm on the fence about even making the effort. The nearest Walmart is about 20 miles from me. If this backfires I'm gonna be p*ssed about wasting my time and gas.Great deal for folks who already close enough and shop there though
There is consequences to choices we make regardless or else we living a hunky dory life

Since ST is part of the TF/Verizon family, you can use the 16e without waiting for the unlock. However, the phone will remain locked to the TF group which for some is fine. These companies include: ST, Simple Mobile, Total Wireless, WalMart Family Mobile.
Do you know if it would unlock after 60 days on Total Wireless or would it stay locked until 60 days on ST is fulfilled?

Great little phone that punches way above its weight class. Got the StraightTalk one at launch for $299 with the 50% off plan price. Kept the service for a few months then switched to the crazy 1 year unlimited US Mobile deal for $300.
Plan on same here, US Mobile seems to be best plan for the buck!

Got two this morning from my local store, didn't have to wait, the associate told me l had to get a contract plan at first, until l showed them the walmart website advertising it.

The first phone was scanned it at the $55 plan, but the 2nd phone came in on a $40 plan, as she linked the phones to one account.

E-sim only on these phones, in the past they just scanned the barcode on the back of the phone box and l didn't have to open them in the store.

This time, opened both phones in store, and activated both while there.
came out to $285.78 with tax for the first phone, and $269.73 for the second phone with the cheaper plan.

The associate said l'd get an e-mail from straight talk, and they'd unlocked after 30 days of service. (Guessing she is wrong based on this thread, and no e-mail, so probably typo'd my e-mail)

Upgrading my wifes phone from an Iphone 11, and mine from a 12 Mini with battery issues.

Did the same thing last year for my kids phones to get them upgraded to 13's at the time.

Anyone else had to open them in store? Hadn't had that situation before, guessing due to e-sim?
