Can these be used on other Tracfone plans without unlocking?

What does Straight Talk's unlock policy have to do with Walmart?

On another note, I have the 2025 version and works on Visible out of the box. I'd be interested to hear if that's the case with this phone too. Although this phone is actually a bit of a downgrade over the 2025 model as they removed wireless charging capability.

I faintly remember (I could be wrong) somebody said that it does not have a "real" carrier lock and that a different carrier SIM works (latches on to the network) but there is some software that inhibits the ability to use the phone. Like activating an eSIM / screen lock kinda thing and there might be a way to fix that via firmware (i.e. flashing unlocked firmware).

From what I'm seeing, Verizon MVNO's (Straight Talk, Total Wireless, etc) have device locking since 2025. If you don't maintain active service, they will lock out offline and wifi only use.

From Straight Talk's Terms of Service:
"To maintain device functionality, you must purchase a plan, activate the device, and maintain active Straight Talk 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 Straight Talk SIM is removed during the Device Lock Period, Straight Talk 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."

From Total Wireless' FAQ:
https://www.totalwireless.com/m/l...conditions
"To maintain device functionality, you must purchase a plan, activate the device, and maintain active Total Wireless 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 Total Wireless SIM is removed during the Device Lock Period, Total Wireless 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."

Could this be a viable cheap solution for WiFi only testing of Android apps on a real device?

I think that's a glitch. I did see it change to $149.99 once, with a banner at the top saying some prices may be out of date. Closed browser and went back and it was $29.99. I just did a search in the app and was able to add to cart for $29.99, but not planning on purchasing

Great price, but really is a disappointment that they with the dimension 6300 cpu again. The 2024 model has almost 20% better benchmarks.

I just bought this phone to experiment and:
  • you can bypass the initial activation screen. Follow these steps very carefully:
https://www.reddit.com/r/StraightTalk/comments/1wmesee/guide_bypassing_straight_talktracfonewalmart/

⬆️ only do this if you want to just use the phone as a wifi device or use on TF, Visible, or Total. Note: Resetting the device to factory settinfs for any reason will trigger the activation lock again but can be bypasses as quickly.
  • You can root this phone with Dirtyfrag and KernelSU. It roots in jailbreak mode so you need to be familiar with not editing any system folders. You'll maintain play integrity with temp root. NOTE: Do not allow the phone to download any updates. Moto software update cannot be disabled by normal means. Kill the wifi until you have the root apps ready. I recommend downloading them from another device and transferring them.
  • YOU CAN UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER. I just experimented with a method called Val Protocol, so you can install a custom rom in the future when one rolls out and maintain permanent root. Only orangefox recovery is available. I was also able to RELOCK the bootloader and get play integrity back without having to use modules. NOTE: Do not allow the phone to download any updates. Moto software update cannot be disabled by normal means. Kill the wifi until you have the Val exploit ready to go or just turn off the phone after enabling usb debugging since you'll need to be in fastboot mode anyway.
  • You can use this phone right away on TF or Visible and likely Total. Ask to rebrand so you start your unlock timer if youre gonna get a yearly plan may take a few csr's tonundertsand what youre trying to do. EDIT: It seems im wrong about using it on Visible and perhaps Total. Past ST locked phones worked fine but I guess they're on to something...not sure about tracfone yet.
Note: unlocking bootloader does not mean network unlock.
