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.

I haven't tested this particular device but I do know that unlocked TF flip phones can be used internationally
Is there any other way to request the unlock through Tracfone while I am in overseas right now? The phone that I am trying to unlock was activated more than 60 days ago and it said that it will be eligible to unlock on September 15, 2023.
I am in overseas and I am using a VPN and Tracfone still is not allowing access even while using a VPN.

It looks like it has NFC according to Best Buy and Tmobile websites.
looks like it does SD card as well
and IP67 waterproof (which none of these low end phones have)
I have a parent that has the Moto g. Overall good, but its been hanging lately and it appears to be working, but the cell doesn't work. No incoming calls or data. it needs a reboot to recover

Seems pretty easy to prove your losses, since the losses you incur is very much given.
If people only think about is too expensive to fight injustice, the future just gonna be worse, and likely even harder to fight. Injustice is like a weed. Is a pain to pull it off, but you don't do it because is a pain to pull it off, and leave it, if you finally decide to do in the future, is gonna be a much harder pain than if you had pull it out in its infancy.
The deal is pretty much dead as of ~April of this year. Instead of 10,000 bonus points per new line, it is now only 500.

I'm more interested how much you got for your unlocked A53s. PM me if you want.
Back on this deal, I'm pretty sure this A53 + unlimited plan is a MM if SDer sells the A53 after unlocking it and gets to use an unlimited plan for another 10 months as well.
