Thanks for starting this. One suggestion is to add a line for new or refurb. Many of us purchased refurb SE2's from Tracfone and are interested to see if the fact they were previously activated interferes with unlocking after 60 days.

Type of phone is supposed to be for that.

Type of phone: New, Refurb, Used

Example:

Activation Date: MM/DD
Unlocked: Automatic, Website, Phone, Denied
Unlock Date: MM/DD
Purchase Date: MM/DD, N/A
Type of Phone: New, Refurb, Used
Original Phone Brand: TracFone, Total Wireless, etc
Phone Brand: Apple, Samsung, etc
Phone Model: iPhone 11, A51, etc
Rebranded: Yes, No, N/A
Type of Activation: New Line, Transfer Activation
60 Day Service Purchased After Activation: Yes, No
Airtime Payment Method: Rewards, Credit/PIN, N/A

Woops thanks. Didn't see that post. The example at the top of the thread has "Android version 10" in that field so that threw me off.

[medontknow]

With being HSN Bundle I would hope people know it is NEW. Kinda hard to understand the simple data points in the thread.

[medontknow]

Am I only one who got theirs unlocked today?
If you, make a new post, just copy mine as 2nd post with my info. I thought orator for got to add the data point where all the datum would hit the web server correctly! 💯🥴

[pitflyer]

Yeah this is a community so my idea was to describe the template and then leave this thread only for data points to avoid clutter and discussion. Something like tomesys said also. So if we want to recreate this thread with all that info up front and the first reported DP we can do that or just leave it be. We aren't moderators so we have to agree.

I appreciate medontknow taking the initiative to start the thread, and most definitely for the first Unlock report!

But, yeah, I think it would be good to do a fresh start on the thread, or edit the first post to make the template more intuitive for everyone to use
.
My personal preference is for pitflyer to post the thread (in respect for pitflyer's work on the template), and for everyone else to hold off on new reports until medontknow adds the first reply.

Don't know if medontknow is a premium memer or not, but if he isn't and there's a lot of replies to the thread you could be knocking him out of a chance at thread of the week award.

I don't really care about being premium member of the week or not, but the goal of a data points thread is not to have discussion .. unfortunately that got lost in translation for this new post. So I'll post a new thread and let the moderators decide which one to lock or unlock, along with of course the people can vote.

I have a HSN bundle that will be 60 days since activation on 2/4/22. I will see and post then.

I'm looking forward to not having to wait for a year. I'm using the unlocked bundle phone from two years ago with a TextNow SIM that runs on T-Mobile. Otherwise, it would be retired to house duty.

@medontknow Did you get the code from the unlocking website to unlock?

I called in early about my iPhone and was told Tuesday midnight it should automatically unlock but could be earlier. Another person in other thread said had to call because didn't unlock yet and may take two days. So I may have to call in to initiate it. See what happens.

[pitflyer]

My expected DPs from late Feb will be for two transfer activations that I did in late Dec:

1) VZW to VZW w/ 60 day service added (I hope this will be a clear unlock)
2) ATT to VZW w/o any service added (I expect this WON'T unlock. Then I plan to add 60 days and see if that's enough)

It came from the unlocked website and what they do is they give you an email message letting you know to go in to your phone dialer and enter #TFUNLOCK#, THE EMAIL CONTAINS THE TWO LINES OF CODE TO PUT IN and you answer the first line and then submit. It cursors for you to put in the second line and then when you hit submit, it instantly said that the phone was unlocked.

I think this side was for the discussion so that's why I responded to you here rather than leave it in the other thread. If I be wrong, it can be placed in the other as well. I take it that someone will be deleting discussion messages to the other post where it will keep the answers neat, correct?

The other post has been made and I be grateful to contribute true details.

I guess you can post in that other thread too if you want to: https://www.howardforums.com/showthr...pproval/page11

Up to you..

Glad you got it unlocked. Seems you are the first. Congrats!
