you can buy bronze plan - $35 on the last day from walmart.com and select Direct Top Up option and provide phone number.

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 Thinker :
Went to local WM and the lady can't process the application in WRAP system, She called ST and they don't know anything about.

The manager came over and said she will override the price to $199 from $299 with $55 card added for each phone. I took it now but wondering is anyone else in the same boat?

If i activate the phone, will it unlock after 60 days?
That's what the premium representative told me today. It unlocks after 60 days. It has to be continuous. You cannot take a break between months. Straight 60 days and then unlock.

My phone is a Galaxy A36, and it's a bit slow and laggy.

Will I notice a speed boost if I switch to an iPhone 16e?

I don't play games; I just watch YouTube and browse websites.

I bought this phone Friday night, then on Saturday ported my phone number over to it. Will this reset the clock on the 60 days to get it unlocked? If so, I will only have 59 days at the end of the second month will need a 3rd month to get to 60 days?

I almost pulled the trigger on this deal at Walmart yesterday, but I got irritated when they tried to charge taxes on the MSRP of the phone. So between that and 2 months of service that I won't use, I would have been at nearly $340. I lost interest at that point. They gave me some cockamamie bs about why they had to charge tax on the MSRP. I pointed to a Lego on the next aisle over that was on sale for $50 with a regular price of $100 and the fact that I would pay sales tax on $50 for that and not $100.

Missed out because I saw this too late last night and the store was closed. Is there a similar deal ?
Do you think that they'll be another one towards BF?

This is the same question I have as well. 2 months of service is not quite 60 days apparently.

Phones have been like this even back 15 years ago. I remember when I was buying my 2nd android after first iPhone. They always charge tax from MSRP not from the sale price.

I just got off the phone with straight talk representative (I bought the phone on November 16th). She told me my service end date was December 15th and she told me I can unlock my phone starting from December 16th. She told me upon activation, you apparently get a 30 day credit from 60day unlock policy. So she told me to call back December 15th to purchase the $10 7 day 5gb data + unlimited call and text plan and get the phone unlocked on the 16th the following day. She told me phone MUST have service at the time of requesting for unlocking the device over the phone with the representative.

The device unlock can be done through the customer service. She told me that she has done this multiple times so, she was confident.
I am going to call the customer service again later so I can confirm this with another representative just in case. Maybe speak to the supervisor as well. Hope this helps.

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?
Most people value camera... 12 pro probably has better camera system than 16e.. I just want a responsive phone (recent CPU and 8GB of ram) so I chose 16e..
