Since Verizon took over, tracfone went to shit completely.
I activated a new card to extend my service date, but they completely zeroed out my balance. They refuse to help. Now I have filed multiple complaints with BBB, FTC, FCC, FL attorney general office.
Tracfone did NOT respond, but decide to close my account. Then someone else is in the process of porting my phone # out without my consent. I contacted TracFone, and they don't care and continued the port out.

1500 Min/Text/Data is for one year, not one month.
Tracfone has updated their unlock policy as follows:
For Customers with non-Apple(ie Android/other) devices: TracFone will provide an unlocking code to customers who request unlocking, provided they meet the following conditions:
- If the TracFone device was activated with TracFone service prior(Before) November 23, 2021, then the device must have been active on TracFone Service for no fewer than 12 months with Service Plans redeemed in no fewer than 12 months, and not have had their telephone number recycled or ported.
-If the TracFone device was activated with new service on the Verizon network on or after November 23, 2021, then at least 60 days must have elapsed since the device was activated.
- The device must be in working condition.
- The device has not been reported stolen or lost, and there are no indicators of fraud.
*Note: Not all phones sold by Tracfone work 100% on other carriers so performance may vary. Ask here or Tracfone for more info on that.

2. unlock is now 60 days (read new policy online, Verizon recently bought company)
3. yes since phone will be unlocked
Be aware this is a very bare bones phone with minimal ram. Know what you're buying & don't expect a lot - for this price you're paying for the service & they're basically giving away the phone for free.

Can't just add the plan to a different phone since bundled plan is linked to IMEI & sim of phone it comes with.
One advantage to Moto phones is they don't have all the Samsung bloat (forced apps that cannot be uninstalled), they're more basic android if that's what you prefer.

Not sure about international number working with TF, might want to contact support & verify
if it's just going to sit in the glovebox, and used only if your primary breaks or has no reception, i'd go for the bigger battery (samsung) and/or research which phone has most cell bands or the bands on your commute's low reception areas (without reception, no other phone spec matters anyway).
but hey, at $30-50, you can get both?
