Allotments are per year!
In case you are not familiar with it, there is a good market for this type of plan.
Not monthly, total per year!

Confirming this. I had a horrible experiences getting one of these stacked on my existing account/phone with Verizon service. Honestly, even at $20, it's not worth it to me with the time I had to put into it (trying to get it to work first, texted with customer service, filing issue with ebay, e-mails back-and-forth with seller). They ultimately got it resolved but it was a painful 2 week experience for me.
after the problems i had with mine, i just did a return for defective item and they refunded no questions asked and didn't even want the card back. i guess everything about this is ymmv

Were you following the 8-step procedure in the wiki? If so, thats a big deal breaker for me!

Anyone have any issues getting refund lately if the plan is not loaded on the sim? In the past they refunded after a not as described claim was put in. Took some time though.
=======================================================================
One of my lines is currently locked to AT&T and I am using it on tracfone with AT&T sim.
=======================================================================
For Verizon phones I thought you can just put the IMEI into the Tracfone compatibility checker and if they accept it it should work?

Procedure makes no difference if sim is empty, a lot of these are not actually preloaded. Plenty of previous threads for this TF deal on SD (at different prices going back to May 2019). The last few I've bought have been a YMMV situation, some OK, some empty.

Can the TF ATT sim be used with a locked ATT phone?
ATT MVNO's sim should work on ATT locked phones, but not the other way around.

When activated.
Depends on which network you buy.

Here is a chat response from Tranfone about "how long we have to activate these?" Marlene is the agent on Tracfone side.

Me: How long do I have to activate a prepaid srmatphone plan before the credit expires?
Marlene: You have one year to use the plan.
Me: oh, do you mean once I purchase it today, the latest I can activate it is December of 2021 before the credit in the prepaid package expires?
Marlene: That is correct.
Interesting but Marlene may be confused and may be thinking of how long you have to use the plan AFTER it's activated.

Does anyone know if this could be applied to a Samsung S2 Classic smartwatch that I use very sparsely? Right now I'm paying $10 a month for the watch on T-Mobile but I was wondering if this could work as the watch obviously doesn't have a sim slot?

Oh yeah. I spent a lot of time research this too. I have it pasted in a Word doc along with a bunch of other tips and experiences people shared in these forums. The steps just did not work for me. Maybe it was an empty SIM as others have mentioned, but they did get it resolved without sending me a new one. I know some folks have no problem with these & Verizon but I know some (including myself) do. FYI - I use an unlocked BYOP (Moto G5s Plus)
