Straight Talk iPhone 16e 128GB + 1-month Silver Unlimited $45 plan $194.00 + Tax + FS. No port-in needed

https://www.straighttalk.com/all-...paid.black

Apple Trade-in Value for this device $310 - possible use for someone already looking to buy an unlocked device from apple, for example. Can get $100+ discount after tax. Other option is to trade-in for a gift card of same value. I did that by trading in two separate iPhone 16es, both locked, one as direct trade-in and another for gift card which I used to pay for the same transaction. Getting $620 discount on my new device

Unlocking is not worth (for everyone) as it needs 1 year of paid service

How long is the unlock period. The Apple trade in 310$ is interesting.

Need 1 year of paid service to be eligible for unlock. Might not be worth for most, ymmv

if you need service....$149 + $360 for 1 year plan = $509.

i value the 1 yr service (which I need) at around $250 so that makes the phone around $260.

i like these prepaid deals on iphones because i can basically get a new older model iphone every few years for around 100 net cost....just have to sell my current phone which is a 13 i got on some total wireless deal (i think it was like $100 after paying $160 for 3 months of service).

It's locked to Straight Talk until you complete a year of paid service through Straight Talk.

Only after that, you can unlock it and move it to another carrier that is compatible with..

Since iPhone 16e is esim only you will have to find a support rep willing to rebrand to TF. It will still require a full year of new paid service to unlock (any TF service you currently have from a different phone won't count towards unlocking).
