Tools for port-in
iPhone
Verizon
激活后需要keep service 60天解锁，因此一般用于自用，机器价格也一般比其他组贵一些，马甲很多：Total, Tracfone, Straight Talk, etc.
一般可分为Total网站上的需要自备号码的port-in优惠以及其他购物站不需要port-in的常规价格，套餐成本有所区别。
- Total port-in discount 需要搭配 $50 的套餐激活，不可省略。
- 常规价格可以使用Tracfone大法$15套餐买一送一激活，plan可以一直用到解锁（60天），如果用于trade-in则不需要购买plan。
- 对于Walmart’s:
- Purchase phone from Wal-Mart.
- Go to the website corresponding to your service brand (so if you bought the Straight Talk version, go to Straight Talk, not TracFone).
- Click activate and select new line with a physical SIM (each phone should come pre-installed with a physical TracFone SIM).
- You will reach a step asking for your IMEI number. If this step gives you an error, keep reading. If this step passes and it asks for your SIM number, then skip ahead to step 8.
- Open a support chat window (or call) and tell them that it’s giving you an error on the IMEI step. They will check and they will tell you that Wal-Mart farked up, and they will tell you to get the phone rescanned at the store. They should also offer you a second option, where you send them proof of purchase and they fix the problem from their end in 1-2 business days. If they don’t give you this option, ask for it.
- The support agent will create a ticket number and give you an e-mail address ([email protected]) to mail the requested information (ticket number, contact information, IMEI number, proof of purchase, and photos of the bar codes on the back of the box).
- After sending in this information, you should get a reply in 1-2 business days saying that you can now activate your phone.
- Purchase the $10 TracFone airtime PIN from eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/284813673959 … the code took approximately 15 minutes to arrive after completing the purchase.
- Go to TracFone’s website (this time, go direct to TF and not the website for the brand you bought) and open a support chat window (or call), and tell them that you have a Straight Talk phone (or whatever brand you bought) that you want to activate on TracFone. They will ask for your IMEI number, SIM number (all should be on the card inside the box), if you want to activate it as a new line (say yes), etc.
- Eventually, the support agent will ask if you have an airtime PIN or if you want to buy a plan with a credit card. Give them the PIN that you bought from eBay.
- Wait for the service to be provisioned. It took about another 20 minutes before my phone got its new phone number.
- Text UNLOCK to 611611 to confirm that you have an unlock date.

激活后180天365天解锁，因此一般用于trade-in，机器价格一般也是较便宜的。几个便宜的经常oos，补货时间一般是东部时间5AM左右。

大部分是Verizon机器，因此也是激活后60天解锁，印象中slickdeals有DP说可以提前结清。可以参考一下 @小黄鸡 老师的DP

Android
基本都可以插TF卡，很多还标明可扩展RAM，不知道是不是可以自己上特制版小内存条 
注：Android对内地的频段支持有限，不如iPhone齐全，现有国内运营商的频段如下
| 5G | 4G | 3G | 2G | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| China Mobile | n79,n41,n28a | 3,8,34,39,40,41 | 3,8 | |

| China Broadnet | n78,n79,n28a | 3,8,34,39,40,41 |
会依据此分列出对于移动、电信、联通5G的支持；至于4G频段，由于overlap过大，因此直接一锅乱炖了
