Note that it has 2 GB RAM. That's not a lot.

Hi there, a quick update from Tracfone.
We have an updated unlocking policy. You can check it here http://tf-w.co/NZyp2bR

Now that Verizon has taken over will be interesting to see if TF/TW etc. customer service improves, so far they're as uninformed as ever about the changes to the unlocking policy so I don't hold out much hope.
$30.00 phone has old school micro USB not USB C , and 2 gigs ram , weak.
$60.00 phone has USB C , 3 gigs ram , maybe dual sim ?
All my phones have been HSN and Moto phones , Moto play , Moto maxx , great phones and a year of service for cheap but I need FM radio ..
So odd to omit FM radio , I would buy the $30.00 one if it had USB C and the $60.00 one if it had FM radio..

With an older phone, it can take longer to transfer the number, especially if the calls go on different carrier lines.
Tracfone allows you to request the transfer on their web page, and they say it can take up to 48 hours. I did this once a few years ago, and waited the 48 hours, and the number still hadn't transferred. I had to call customer service (a major pain in the next with Tracfone) and they had to do it. I think I was on the phone for over an hour ... using my minutes (they wouldn't replace the minutes). You can try chat as well.
Before transferring your number, start a chat and ask them to confirm the number of minutes, texts, and amount of data on your phone, plus the day your minutes expire. Then make sure to send a copy of the chat transcript to your email. If the transfer goes wrong, the chat transcript is the only thing Tracfone will accept as proof of your balances. (You'd think they would have that information in the system, but I've seen complaints from people saying Tracfone refused to replace the lost balances without a chat. A screenshot of your balances isn't enough.)
Or if you're not comfortable with that, call support and have them do it for you. It's probably time you upgraded
BTW the chip supports fast charging and this says it is charging fast when I put it in a higher voltage charger As I recall it came with a crappy low voltage charger I threw away.
"Before Verizon" won't be the same as "After Verizon", guaranteed.
Verizon (and Tracfone) legally has to honor the terms of the phones sold by Tracfone.
But given Tracfone's (and Verizon's) horrid customer service, trying to get them to honor their terms if you wait too long to activate the phone ... is close to a waste of time (your time is more valuable than the phone is worth). You could try disputing the charge with your credit card company, but that protection is only for a couple of months (and doesn't work with other forms of payment, like debit cards or paypal, etc.). Some credit cards have warranty benefits that might cover this.
For the last 5 or so years, I've always waited for cheap deals and had on hand usually 2 extra phones that cover me for the next year, in case I can't find cheap deals like the one in the OP when I need more minutes (I use around 2500-3000 minutes annually). It's possible some day I won't be able to activate a phone, but it hasn't happened yet.
