Yep..I have it. It is an awful phone.
Some of my older phones seem to act better than it does.

I think the best thing about these deals is the 1 year of service, which also nets you 7000 points if you add to an existing account (worth $70 if redeemed for Tracfone service) or up to 8000 points if you use a referral.

I bought two of these from HSN the other day for a total of $55 with tax after 16% cash back and $50 referral. I'll add the two lines to my account and get 14,000 points, which I can then use for extending service of buying more data. On top of that, the two lines I will have can then be used for all kinds of deals on SD (for example, Microcenter coupons that are linked to phone numbers).

So $55 out of pocket for two lines of service for a year, $140 worth of Tracfone points, and two unlocked crappy phones. Even at $40 for one, it's a pretty good deal. Yes, it's not the greatest phone, but you are paying $40 for 1 year of service, a phone, and $70-80 worth of points. Not sure what people are expecting for $40.

So what's the mechanics of this? How many points does it cost to extend the service by 1 year? I was adding these new plans to extend an existing line by a year, but using points appears to give more bang for the buck. On one line I transferred from Tracfone SIM to an ATT SIM, and they ate my reward points, without any trace. I called twice, burnt a lot of time, gave up.

These phones are fair, people seem to hate them, but it seems the hardware cost is more than what they charge here, and I am not talking about the service that's also included.

Helpful tip- If you are new to Tracfone be sure to sign up for the Tracfone rewards! You find a valid referral code to sign up for a nice bonus . If you use a top tier code you will maximize the bonus and get 8,000 rewards points ($80 value) in your account. This can be used to buy air time, get phone discounts or add extra data for $10/GB, or minutes, etc.
Activate the phone first, then sign up for rewards with a valid promo code.

Use a top tier one that will get you 8,000 rewards points ($80 value) when you sign up. Most only will get you 5,000 ($50 value)

It really depends on your usage. For my kids, I use 4,000 points for the 8GB unlimited talk/text monthly plan. I figure that gives them data for half the price of the add on of 1,000 points per GB. For my line, I redeem 19,900 for one year unlimited talk/text plus 12GB of data. For my parents, I redeem 2,000 points for 90 days plus 60/60/60 because they do not really use data. So for them, I get a year for 8,000, though it has been harder to get the basic plans to show up for a smartphone lately. Once my points run dry, I will move my kids off Tracfone because I think there are better options for them.

I'm surprised to hear you lost points during a transfer. I've definitely had issues with losing minutes/data on the service that transferred, but I have two accounts that still have points even though there isn't an active line in the account. Could they have created a new account during the transfer? Just wondering if you now have two accounts and your old points are still out there somewhere.

Many unlocked phones would work. The question is: Does the phone have all the bands for T-mobile?
Band 66; band 71.

So T-mobile accepts this Moto G Pure Tracfone?
Btw, I have moto g6 play unlocked. It works on mint mobile (which also uses T-mobile).
It seems like T-mobile blacklist moto g6 play in their system.
