See Wiki or this post in this thread, if you have questions on how to create a TF account (and get 8K bonus points) or add a line to your existing account (for AAL bonus points, currently 10K).
Note: All Tracfone Brands are switching people to Verizon based service and new phones are shipping with Verizon sims.

Disable "Mobile Services" app - it has nothing to with mobile services, instead it installs bloatware on its own.
Disable 1Weather app, Moto comes with its own weather widget.
Remove all permissions from My Account (can be removed) and Device Pulse (can't be disabled or removed), these track your usage.
Even when the phone is unlocked and you move to another service, these apps will continue to do their thing unless you disable or remove them.
It is upgradeable to android 11. I don't think it will receive android 12 upgrade since Motorola typically only gives 1 android version update.

Since being unlocked, my kids have been using it for the past 2 weeks on AT&T postpaid. Its a decent phone, but only gets 4G, Android 11, and its even slower than the 5yr old Iphone 8. And unless you're in a major city, it only gets so-so reception. And it only has ONE speaker so it sounds terrible to me. The only upsides are the 128gb, sd card, and bigger screen. Its awkwardly tall with an equally awkward fingerprint reader (this is with a protective case)
The bootloader cant be unlocked, so cant be rooted either.
Again, for $80, it's decent if you want a backup phone, but I have a feeling you'll really start to dislike it as a daily driver.
Not sure if you joined the rewards program and got bonus points. If you did, you could upgrade to an iPhone XR for $29.99+tax. When you purchase two TF phones with 1-year bundled service, join the TF Rewards program and use a top-tier referral code to get 8K points. You then use chat with a TF agent to add a line to your account for 7K (or 10K) points. After 60 days, phones are eligible for unlock and on day 61, you'd have 15K (or 18K) points available. Redeem 14K points for $150 off phone discount code (17K for $200 off or 20K for $300 off). iPhone XR is currently $179.99, so the phone could be $29.99+tax (after $150 off) or FREE (plus another cheap phone after $200 off). There are other phone selections like Samsung Galaxy A32 5G, iPhone SE 2020, Samsung Galaxy A51 refurb or iPhone 11 refurb (pay only service plans if required, which is not covered by the coupons.)
After first month, put your phone in drawer, setup a calendar reminder at 181 days of first day activation. By then, click "unlock", all would unlock
If the TracFone device was activated with new service on the Verizon network on or after November 23, 2021, then at least sixty (60) days must have elapsed since the device was activated.

Edit: Sorry, it's not in the title. It's in the embedded URL, but it shows as the title when your reply popped up in the corner.
