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 SociableHamster2050 :
I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max and want to upgrade to something minimalist and advanced. So I will wait for the iPhone 17e (scheduled for February end) for:
  • Better battery
  • A19 processor
  • Dynamic Island
  • Better front camera
  • Fully unlocked device
  • iOS 26 with bug fixes
  • Thinner bezels
  • More color options
  • Additional new features
  • Rumored price for 128 GB: $499
Must say, the current deal is very tempting, but I'm controlling myself so I can keep all options open — 16e, 17e, and in the worst case, even the 17.
In the worst case, if the 17e doesn't look good, then I will pay > $299 + 2 × $35 plans and get the 16e.
They are skipping 17e next year because of poor sales.

I'd say that's irrelevant to this deal. People are interested in the deal not because it has all the latest and greatest specs and whether the next phone gets released tomorrow, in the spring, or next fall, it's it's not going to be at the current $199 or $299 price point.

He's making those prices up. Apple never reduces prices. They always go up. Unless you want a plastic chassis

I went to the Verizon store and looked at the 16e, and everything was fine, except that the 60Hz was visible.
The short content may not seem to make much of a difference, but if you look at a long page like this one, the difference is clear.

This isn't about speed, lag, or stuttering.

I think I'll have to give up on the 16e.

So I was able to do this at a store that had a cellular associate that actually could activate in store. I did purchase the extra $35 bronze plan for the second month and added to my account. In the app or online it shows next payment due 12/16/25 but shows plan good through 01/16/2026 when I go to plan details. Has anyone else that has added the second month experience this? If not I'll have to call ST CS. Thanks!

That 12/16/25 next payment date does give some concern since the account is paid through 01/16 of next year.

No perfect time in tech. Best you can do is buy when you need and at the price you can afford.

Thanks! It says expires 12/16/2025. I don't know if that is the end of the gold or what. Will call tomorrow to sort out. Anyone add the second month to their account? Does 611611 return 12/16 or 01/16? What is your next payment due date if you already added a second month? Thanks to all in advance!

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.
Okay. Does that mean it's the lawful thing to do?
