Straight Talk's discounted phones are mainly appealing as cheap Verizon-network devices, especially the Moto G Stylus and iPhone 16e, with some models also working on TracFone and Total Wireless through physical SIM or eSIM swaps. The Moto G Stylus gets extra praise as a retro emulation device thanks to its Snapdragon chip, microSD slot, and 3.5mm headphone jack. The main catch is the unlock policy, which is now described as 12 months or 365 days of paid active service for newer activations, with older 60-day rules only applying to earlier purchases. That makes the deal more useful for a secondary line or a cheap year-long plan than for quick unlocking.
Buying through straighttalk.com can match Walmart pricing and may be cheaper when purchasing two phones.
The phones can work on TracFone when using the right SIM setup.
A Moto G Stylus can run on Total Wireless BYO Max service using an eSIM swap.
The Moto G Stylus can support microSD storage and a 3.5mm headphone jack for offline media use.
Unlocking can require 365 days of paid and active service, which can block carrier switching for a long period.
eSIM handling can complicate activation and unlocking, including cases where eSIM attempts required additional steps.
Tracfone value brands can apply a software device lock if active service lapses, restricting Wi‑Fi and offline apps.
Rebranding after activation can be uncertain, especially when trying to move between Straight Talk and other TracFone family branches.

Your 60days of paid active only applied to phones activated before Jan 19, 2026.

Tracfone (and probably other Verizon Value brands like Straight Talk, Total Wireles, etc) recently update their Terms & Conditions of Service with the following section:
Discounted Device Service Requirement: Tracfone devices are discounted exclusively for use with active Tracfone service. To maintain device functionality, you must purchase a plan, activate the device, and maintain active Tracfone service on the device for a total of 12 months of paid service, which need not be consecutive (the "Device Lock Period"). If the device is not activated, or if active service lapses or a valid Tracfone SIM is removed during the Device Lock Period, Tracfone may apply a software lock to the device ("Device Lock") after advance notice. The Device Lock will restrict use of the screen and device functionality, including Wi-Fi and offline apps, until active service is restored, and the device will typically unlock within minutes after service is restored. Once the Device Lock Period is complete, the Device Lock will no longer apply. Emergency 911 calling remains available from the lock screen at all times, and you may port your number to another provider at any time. Bypassing or tampering with the Device Lock constitutes a breach of these Terms.
In other words, if you don't keep the phone active until it's unlocked, TF can apply the new Device Lock (probably via software update) which will keep you from using the phone with WiFi and/or apps.

I used to get one or two phones a year when it was 60-days unlock for family & friends. It was good while it lasted.

UPDATE 10/28: received the phone, removed pSIM card. I have an active Total Wireless' BYO Max $20 plan. Swapped this Moto G Slytus 2025 onto that line, using its eSIM. Talk/Text/Data all worked. Top of the signal bar would say "Verizon", same on my original device on this line.
Didn't call ST to rebrand the phone though. I also have a ST-branded iPhone SE3 from 2-3 years ago, unlocked of course. When I initially trying to port to TW for BYO $20 plan, the pSIM IMEI would give error; but eSIM also worked for device swap.
Question, if I just use it such way, would it be unlocked after 365 paid service? Or do I need to call ST/TW to make them lock the phone to TW? And about rebranding, do I just call in TW or ST's customer service and tell them I want to use this ST phone on TW network, without activating it on certain plan? Thinking of this because worried when I called them, the pSIM would invalidate the $20 BYO Max plan.
For unlocking clock, will double check with TW to see if it starts on TW now.
