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.

The Moto E also has four more Verizon LTE bands (2, 4, 5, 13, 66). The A02s only has band 5.
1. yes
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.
Any way to unlock this sooner like those remote unlock services?
TracFones are notoriously hard to unlock -- a lot of people tried since the previous rules used to be 12 months -- which is a really long time. However, now these phones will be unlockable at 61 days (data points indicate you have to call in -- but once you call in, everyone des get the unlock codes) and this deal includes a year of service -- so waiting 61 days and getting it for 'free' is the easiest way.
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.
Mine came and it doesn't come with a SIM card is this normal?
Sim should already be in phone. If you mean separate activation card they haven't used those for several years, plan is automatically added when you activate phone.

Ohh I see thanks it's in the slot I was so confused at first
Is it possible to move the SIM to another phone currently on Tracfone plan? I suppose the Samsung would never be unlocked if that works?

Sim is linked to serial number of phone, in order to get plan & unlock you should activate sim with the phone. Only takes 60 days to unlock now.
Just activate new phone & keep current number, everything you now have will combine with the new year.
Can anyone hep me with the rewards program info. I'm trying to buy this phone for my mom in another state and want to help her maximize the reward points.
1 When do I make a tracfone acct for them? Is it possible to make the acct without having the phone?
2. When do I enter the referral code?
3. Can I manage the rewards program for someone without the phone?

Buy the phone, activate the phone, create the account, join rewards, enter referral code.
