Sure... but do you consider this to be "very easy"?

Didn't say it was - it's TracFone unlock policy.

Great phone and very easy to unlock

Unless you're going to bring up how, what's the point of bringing it up at all? If you mean eBay good luck with that.

If you don't know how and don't want to pay to unlock. Please don't bother me...

Many on eBay claim they can and many have failed reading other threads. Of course people expect to pay to have it unlocked 🙄. You're just trolling as usual, bringing no valuable information as usual, so YOU go away and quit spreading BS on this thread. Understood?

For Samsung Pay users there's a good cashback deal of 12% YMMV but anyone interested in buying this I think is worth to check.

Well, why should people have to wait for one year to unlock the phone? That's too long.

Or buy factory unlocked and wait nothing!

ONe might also consider the Moto G7 Supra (same phone as the G7 Power and Optima Mxx) from Cricket at $9.99 with port in. The minimum plan to order is $30. and they unlock after 6 months of use. It has all the bands, including 66/71 for best T-Mo coverage. Price with free shipping should be right at $42. ymmv.

Quick question - is the plan locked to the sim or is it a separate card that you can apply to an existing cricket line?

Are "all" android phones supported?
Any downside to using Google Voice?
If this works, why would anyone ever buy "minutes" from TracFone?
Yes, we all know TracFone is meant for "light users"
Thanks

Google voice requires separate internet source. All phones are pretty much supported. Apple and android back to at least android 4.4. It also works on tablets! If you have phone number you want to keep forever this is the best way to do it. You can port it (I think it cost $15 now) to google voice then forward your calls. You then get google based spam protection, voicemail with transcripts, email alerts,texts to all your devices, and ability to use on any computer with mic including for voicemail retrieval.. There is even a different kind of call screening where person calling says their name it rings to you and you decide based on the name weather to pick it up or not. leave caller no way to tell if you ignored them. Then their is the Announced call recording feature along with all the standard phone features. Like call forwarding.

Tracfone experts - My tracfone plan is coming up for renewal in a couple of days. Need your advice on how to keep the number

1) if I don't renew by the expiry date how long do I have before the phone
number is lost ?
2) do Tracfone voice /data balance rollover if renewed before expiry ?
3) What is the cheapest option to keep the Tracfone line active assuming I am not porting out ? Does Tracfone offer a pay as you go option ?

Not a tracephone expert but they have to hold your number for a certain amount of days. I think its 90, then they cant reuse it for maybe 90 more. Not sure if its an fcc rule or a law either way they can be fined a lot. Many carriers would allow recovery in the second 90 day period if you push them. Now to transfer the number you would need to be in good active status with most carriers. What you can do is transfer to google voice as noted above and never lose the number again. Then just forward to any new number you get.

Rooting and carrier unlocking are different things I'm pretty sure

They are, most g7 power variants can be bootloader unlocked. You might have to wait sometime after purchase but it looked to work on most. You can also remove branding from most g7 powers even if rooting didnt work. Never tried on tracphone version. Some phones like the oneplus 6t you can delete the right partition with root and its carrier unlocked then. Didn't try on the t-mobile g7 power i bootloader unlocked for my parents. I use bootloader unlock allows you to try to bypass carrier tether restrictions.

Is this phone better than the Nexus 6 ?

Yes, by a large margin on everything but screen. Bigger battery, more efficent, more processing power, better gpu, better connector (usb-c). Many more bands and carrier aggregation. Never had any issues with any t-mobile or at&t sim in g7 power.

"Yes. You may transfer your telephone number from another company to TracFone online. To port in your existing telephone number to your TracFone, the number you are porting must be active with your current service provider."

If you want to save your number forever just port to google voice, you get all the features listed above in my first reply.

One last thing is this was good enough for many games including COD:mobile when i was playing with the one I customized for my parents.
