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).

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.
Waste of time

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.
Show me a better iPhone for less than $300 BRAND NEW. I'll wait LOL!

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!

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?
Probably because Total Wireless has a better deal in-store right now? Free 16e with upfront purchase of 3 months service for $195 (taxes and fees charged separately), phone unlocked in 60 days.

Apple typically waits 2-3 years between upgrading their budget models, but even if they didn't, there's no way a 17e is going to be significantly better than the 16e currently is, especially not for $100 less!

They upgraded the base model's minimum storage and screen. That's not the same as a $100 price cut.

Wrong. For that deal, you need to port out a number. So, it is technically not a deal.
