iPhone 12pro LOCKED? It’s my phone!!!

Hate to tell you but you have worse problems, the punctuation keys on your keyboard are completely broken.

You can only buy a truly unlocked iPhone from Apple, Walmart does not sell them. It locks with the first SIM that you use with the iPhone. Call AppleCare and ask them which cell service provider your iPhone locked to and then contact that cell service provider and ask them what their unlock policy is and if you qualify and follow their instructions to do so.

It is locked to tracfone. Tracfone can't unlock it unless you meet their requirements. That means the phone must be currently active on their network, and you must have had service with tracfone for 12 consecutive months.

If it's not currently active on tracfone, you will have to activate it for service with them and keep that service for a year before they will unlock it for you.

When you go to Settings/General/About what does it say for Carrier Lock?

And note that StraightTalk and Tracfone are not the same carrier. Tracfone manages accounts for StraightTalk (and other resellers), but the actual carrier for unlocking purposes is StraightTalk.

TRAC PHONE specifically said it shows as NOT LOCKED. But..... I will contact them again

Is it currently active on their network? If not, then they can't see it to tell if it's locked to them or not.

Apple doesn't unlock phones.

The carrier it is locked to has to unlock it, if you meet their requirements.

Contact them.

They aren't nit picky and as you have shown you can actually write.

So did you contact Apple and ask who your iPhone is locked with?

And have you tried contacting Straighttalk as Lawrence suggested?

I'm sorry but your illiterate run on sentence gave me a headache. If you want people to read your posts then learn to write and use punctuation. If you have already contacted Apple and they told you who it was locked with (and I reread your post and you nowhere said you did that) and you contacted whoever they told you it was locked with (who was that exactly) and they won't unlock it you are stuck. There is nothing Apple can do for you.

Sorry, I don't know who you are directing this too. Since you cannot answer my direct questions I have to assume you are more interested in being mad and not so much interested in solving your issue. Again, take Lawrence's (not mine) advice and contact Straighttalk support and you can possibly solve your problem.

Walmart does not sell unlocked phones. The only place to buy an unlocked phone is directly from Apple.

So Apple told you it was locked to Tracphone? But you said in your post you first used Straight Talk?
