FAQ for these Track Phone posts

---------------

"Is the 365 unlimited package for the whole year?"

Yes.

"When does it unlock?"

AFTER 12 full months of ACTIVE PAID SERVICE. On paid month 13, you can request the device to unlock. Yes, it used to be different. Yes, there are conflicting pieces of information. Do you feel you'll have any luck arguing with an al-slop chatbot or a heavily-scripted CSR? How many hours do you think you'll spend to avoid paying for the 13th month, if they don't behave nicely?

"Why don't they have a good referral bonus anymore?"

A scheme for new customers. Like with all good things, too many people abused it. So, Track Phone cut the bonus to a negligible amount.

These don't unlock for a year? And this phone is 6 yrs old Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

If it was the 12 pro, that would be a plus..

Yes, I expected that if you paid for a whole year of data, this should be unlocked on day one as well. Like what is the point of making us wait at this point?

Unlimited "Tax" doesn't sound fun, but jokes aside, thanks for the deal.

Why are some concerned about unlocking a phone that won't get any updates during/after the year of usage. It's really a good disposable iphone(even at 64gb) with a very good plan for a very good price..that's all!

Just because they can now based on some laws that were passed.

Seems like a great deal given the year long unlimited talk and text + 12gb of data. Yes in a years time the iPhone 12 will be pretty old, but assuming tracphones service / coverage is decent this seems great

Before anyone assumes otherwise, the 12 GB data is for the entire year, nor per month. This is still a good deal

Even the iPhone 11 still has more than a year of updates, the 12 has 2 years left at minimum. The 12 is still a decent phone for under $150. No Android can beat that speed for the same price.

That would make the most sense to us, but since we know the reason is because they make $, then they must make a ton of money by people using the 12 gigs data in the first month.
