The 3rd generation has:
- 5g and this doesn't
- a bit better battery life
- a better processor
I've unlocked several phones at 60 days - policy changed 11/2021 when Verizon bought all the Tracfone brands. Read official policy, it's posted on their website.

They're on Verizon. Can someone explain how I'd do this? Buy two of these phones, activate them with $10/mo plans which, what, will then get them two new phone numbers? Then we put them in a drawer for 60 days, cancel the service, and transfer their Verizon service/phones to these?
I got the other deal for gen3 and put it on walmart but that was like $24 a month
