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.

If I buy this deal, how do I transfer my previous tracfone number (as well as remaining 6 months of service)?
Do I essentially get 1 year with this deal + 6 month of remaining time from existing tracfone service?
a02s pros:
Bigger screen
bigger battery
takes better photos
longer software support
Cons:
laggy performance from the snapdragon 450 chip.
When you swipe around the phone to look at notifications or opening an app it sometimes takes a couple beats to open. The moto e 2020 was pretty instant.

The 61 days also happens to be the amount of time that referral points post, so basically after 61 days if you sign up with referral you get an unlocked phone + 8000 points you can use for more data, service, whatever you want. Pretty good deal for $40 net for new HSN customers.
