This may be of some help. You have to call or chat. It's not listed on the website:

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).

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?
I read that once it is over on Tracfone for 60 days it will be unlocked. I would think it would be the same for Total Wireless.

Has anyone tested the cheap $10 plan for month #2?
The person at Walmart said you could go with the cheapest plan on month two.

Yeah - for Straight Talk/Tracfone/Total Wireless and the other brands on the site...


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.

I printed out the sale and brough it in to Walmart to show them. There were no issues. It came to around $289. Came back home and had the Tracfone agent "rebrand" my iPhone 16e to Tracfone no issues at all. They even transferred my old number over with plan still intact.

Sorry, haven't used an ST before. You got the phone without activation on ST? That's how you can get TF to rebrand it? Do you chat or call them? What's the cheapest plan on TF during the 2 month wait to unlock?

How much is your tracfone plan? Will it still unlock after 2 months?

This seems like a great deal if you don't care about photography quality and camera lens variety

Can you give more details on this process? So how much will you pay for service with TF for the next 60 days before unlock? Did they open and activated your phone at the store with ST or not? Di you call or chat with TF to do the process? So right now your phone works with TF service with the number that assigned to you at Walmart for ST?

Got the last one at the Walmart store. Came out to be $289 out the door. They don't seem to know about the trick to unlocking it later.

Walmart rep when first scan the iPhone itself the price showed $299. To get the in-store price of $199, you need to add the 1 month Gold unlimited ST plan while checkout. Walmart rep didn't open my iPhone box. I did remember seeing the message activated on their display which i assume the iphone is activated.

It's a permanent unlock when the 60 days are reached on any TF family companies. iPhones are auto unlocked with no codes to enter when that time frame is up. Solid deal and if you don't like the phone, people love iPhones and will pay more than an equivalent android.

It will NOT unlock now that it was rebranded. Good luck with that.

Doesn't the phone already come with 1 month of service?

All i did was turn on the iPhone 16e from walmart and got the home screen and the Tracfone agent did the rest. I just used chat on their website. I bought the two phones from Tracfone that had the minutes with them and "Harvested" them onto my plan. https://slickdeals.net/f/18803365-new-qvc-customers-64gb-tracfone-moto-g-play-2024-1yr-plan-1500-talk-text-data-24-free-shipping?src=category_page
