There's another Galaxy A51 bundle there for the same price that has a case instead of that stand thing.
Just researched on XDA, looks like NO for the Tracfone variant. (SM-S515DL)
There is a private grey seller that will unlock samsung devices for $65. Too steep for something like this.
There are also no custom roms for this variant either, only the SM-A51_ models.
Um the one in the title?

Been helping a friend figure out if her Sprint iPhone 5s is really going to be useless on cellular once Sprint 3G goes away.

How will the eventual shutdown of all the 3G networks affect this phone? Can it do VoLTE? Is there another way it works for calls?

2 issues: I've activated this as a second line on my existing account with an active BYOD SIM which still has many months till expiration, but I only got 60 rewards points instead of 7000 for adding a line. Haven't contacted them yet, but I'm annoyed if they changed the promotion while it's still listed on the website.

Second, when I go to the tfwunlockpolicy site it tells me the device isn't eligible for the unlocking program. I was expecting to see a counter or something, rather than a flat out rejection. Is that normal or did something go wrong with my activation?

It has been about 2 weeks that TF Rewards system is not giving points, adding a line or referrals. Pending points (referring a friend in September) disappeared after 60 days as well. Contacting TF gets no solution.

TF does not give you a counter. It will ask for your phone # (detecting the IMEI is associated with an active # on TF) and email, when it's eligible for unlock. It gave me two codes to unlock my Moto G6. Before it was on TF for 12 months, the website simply said it wasn't eligible for unlock.

That's unfortunate. I was counting on the 7000 points to keep my main line running. Nice bait and switch.

I never got my 8000 referral points for line 1, but I bought two of these phones from HSN, and did get the 7000 points for adding a line.

I have seen reports that the system is working again, but I haven't tried yet. There was problem with the system around 9/1-9/15.

From what I read, during 9/1-9/15, the system failed to give reward points. It would give an error when entering a code (using either PC or app), and then said the account had been referred. I didn't have any referrals in that period, but my pending points vanished after 60 days (referred in early September).
Edit: should say during 11/1-11/15, the system failed to give reward points for new sign-ups. The points I 'earned' by referring others 9/1-9/15 vanished after 60 days...

This exact thing happened to me last week. Added the code in the app, but it errored out, and then said the account had been already referred. Based in the terrible customer service others have received, I just moved on. Added the second phone to the account and got the 7000pts.

Don't care much about the points as I will only be using them to extend the plans on both phones by a month so I can get the phones unlocked next year. I know I can do that on the last day of year 1, but will add a month using the points just to be safe.

For now I am really enjoying the phone as my secondary device. Around the house, I use it more than my main phone (Note 10+). It is an incredible phone for the $54 I paid for it (and the 1yr plan).

I'm brand new to TracFone and just received/activated this device and then used a referral code in the app after activation. The code gave me 8000 points, but it is pending.

So you're saying that I will lose these points after 60 days and nothing can be done about it?

No, your reward points would become available on the 61st day and can be redeemed in multiple ways. The issues that Crazy8 referenced have now been resolved. The only concern is that Tracfone's rewards system is wonky and can go haywire any time so you can 'lose' reward points without any recourse for resolution (Customer service cannot manually added back lost/denied points).. .

is a LineageOS available on this A51? TIA

a quick search on their web, no... https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/#samsung

oh, found a unofficial one on XDA

finally, looks like S515DL has a unlockable bootloader... dead end!
Hi, just saw your message. If it is unlockable, that's good. However, Samsung one UI 4 is coming soon and from what I've heard it isn't so bad.

I had to apply to unlock my Poco and wait a full week (168 hours) to unlock my bootloader.

I bought this phone with the idea that after a year I'd unlock it as a spare travel abroad phone. I decided to put in my foreign SIM to see if it would ask me for the unlock code, which it didn't. So I suspect this SM-S515DL is one on of the phones that can't be unlocked.

It is a decent phone overall.

Anyone else try this yet?
