you really think everyone use iPhone 13 and drive BMW only?
I purchased one on these refurb Galaxy A51s about 3 months ago. It came looking brand new in a sealed package with accessories. Worked just fine except you need to make sure the APN is set to VZWINTERNET or you won't get data/internet. It seems to reset after OS update.

I registered for unlock via text to TracPhone. After 60 days I was able to unlock through text. You will need to have at least 60 days of service as per post November 2021 unlock rules. This means you may have to buy another month of minutes if you don't get points cleared to use for plan purchase.

This is a very nice phone for the price, but not 5G.
Of course they did. Did you see the number of thumbs up, the number of people who said they bought this phone over the last eight months (Do a search if you know how)? Your thread crapping is not helpful.

TracFone killed the deal
Still shows for me. You must add a plan to the cart at the same time as the phone for the 15% discount. Also do not use a browser on a desktop - their web site is always glitching out. Order from your phone's browser instead.

Note as stated in original post you must be a new user or use a different email account if you have a preexisting one registered with TracPhone.

I'm on a waitlist at QVC for Tracfone Moto G Play 6.5" Smartphone with 1500 Talk/Text/Data /Black. This is only $60 after coupon.

If I knew for sure that this order wouldn't be filled, I would go with this deal for the much better phone.

This phone comes with a $20 Unlimited Plan: Unlimited Talk, Text & 1GB of High Speed Data.
If I buy another TracFone $19.99 Basic Phone Plan, 60 Minutes, 90 Days, can I text to TracPhone to get unlock after 60 days or I need to buy an unlimited plan?
Thanks!

Yes, that will work. But it is sometimes hard to get the basic plans to come up. I had to use the app the last time I bought one because Tracfone would not let me purchase on the website.

There have been many reports of people getting the phones unlocked even without paying for more than one month. The current policy says 60 days after activation, not 60 days of service. I have not put it to the test myself because I also want the reward points which vest on day 61.

Since Verizon took over tracfone this phone will come with a Verizon plan/service. I just got my A51 unlocked this week and moved back to Tracfone GSMA AT&T towers since Verizon isn't in this area. Some are reporting that Tracfone Verizon is forcing users from Tracfone AT&T and T-mobile to Verizon towers. I think in 2 or 3 years Tracfone will be Verizon towers only so keep that in mind.

My A51 also came looking brand new. The battery was pretty low when it arrived but it seems to be working fine. I really like this phone and it's my first Samsung phone. I like it better than my previous 2 Moto phones (G5 Plus and Z2 Force).

Any plan will work to extend the time to get it unlocked

OP here. Just to clarify. The phone does not come with any service included. You must add a plan at time of purchase to get the WELCOME15 discount. That could be any of the available plans so the 90 day plan would get you more than enough time to qualify for unlock.

it is almost the worst performance phone in recent history.
Got the phone earlier of the year, brand new was $79.
Low end CPU, AnTuTu performance test result says that 99% phone has better CPU than it
I disagree. I have a galaxy s22 ultra and have 2 samsung a51 phones. They are perfectly fine, and both I was surprised at how snappy they are. 4gb is great on a cheap phone.

They have android 12 now too. The screen quality is amazing on these.

This phone won't have any update in a year or so…. I don't think it's worth
Its on android 12 now... sooo who cares. In a few years everything will be 5g anyway and youll want to switch for better service.
