Model SM-S536DL, once unlocked, can be used on other carriers if they have whitelisted this model. AT&T have not, so it won't work on AT&T or its MVNOs.
This model is very locked down, so you cannot root, bootloader unlock, or use ODIN to replace the ROM. You can use ADB to uninstall any bloat apps.
About 1 Year Tracfone Service (Unlimited Talk, Unlimited Text, & 24 GB Data)
* 365 days of Tracfone Service running off Verizon's network
* Unlimited Talk
* Unlimited Text
* 24 GB data for entire year. If you use up all 24 GB data early, you will still have service for the remaining time, just no data until you buy more data from Tracfone
Service is preloaded to the SIM (usually preinstalled in the phone). Activate the SIM / IMEI on Tracfone.com to activate the phone and service. Once the phone is activated (by activating the SIM / IMEI), the 60 day unlock counter starts.
Other Tracfone family phones can be activated on the plan for service and unlocking as well.

Since the plan came with the phone, you will have a very hard time getting your plan back. They always want to see when you last BOUGHT the plan.
Why didn't they just fix it in the first place? You're correct they just don't care about fixing the problem once it falls outside whatever script they have. Any sort of common sense/logic falls on deaf ears. Their goal isn't to help you at this point, but make you give up through whatever means possible. The best recourse IS an informal FCC complaint which is very much free and was extremely effective for me.
Tracfone CSR is so horrible it should be criminal.

Below is the general process for keeping your number and extending your Tracfone plan with this plan. HOWEVER, Unlimited plans may not add as desired to limited plans (read the horror stories), so you are strongly advised to first ask the experts on Howard forums their advice.
1) Activate on tracfone.com, choosing option to KEEP YOUR NUMBER.
2) Select your number, and proceed to activate the SIM / IMEI
3) Tracfone will extend your plan with this new plan, and transfer service to the A53.
4) Wait a day, make sure everything is working correctly and your plan is extended correctly.
5) Login to your account, goto your lines, and look for your inactive iPhone line. Activate it and transfer the number back to your iPhone.
6) Your iPhone now has the plan, and your A53 will have lost service. However, A53 will unlock 60 days later (may have to request via portal).

Regarding the plan itself, can I buy more data if I need that?
