How much data? Web page doesn't specify. Odd. Usually 20GB per year with these BLU devices but this one doesn't list it.

That's interesting, for a while they were offering this phone for 80 bucks with 24 gigs a year. And I guess coupons could lower that as low as 60. Phone's not particularly good but I guess if you're willing to go through the hassle of buying another TracFone you can transfer it over to a different phone.

But without the 24 GB it's less compelling obviously. I

When did you purchase it? Before they changed the listing title (to remove the 24GB data) or after?

do you have to have a tracfone for this to work? can i put the sim in any unlocked gsm phone? I recall it being cumbersome to get a tracfone sim to work in a non tracfone device

I plugged it in to an old Moto E6 phone from Visible mobile service and it was able to make a call and send text. I'm not too up on the cell phone information, but I think both of these services Tracfone and Visible are from Verizon towers. (Maybe this was not a great test.)

I'm glad this came up. As mentioned, I do not know much about service these days.
Would the following be correct (as an example)? ---
I will have difficulty moving my Tracfone service to an unlocked Moto Edge Plus purchased on Ebay.

You need a separate sim for each phone - sims are linked to IMEI of phone.
Activate new TF BYOP sim in unlocked phone, choose keep current number & service will move to the new phone.

I also can confirm that the BLU phone ordered on 14th was delivered today. It also came with 24GB. Also I followed the procedure given here to activate the BLU phone with my existing tracfone number. Old one was expiring May 15, 2024, had exhausted data in it. After the BLU phone was activated, it shows the new expiry as May 15, 2025(added 1 year to the old exp date) and has 23.99 GB data left.

I only use the data with my Google voice number on the old old phone(Samsung). So I was thinking BLU might have hotspot, which I could use with old phone, delay moving back to old phone till I get it unlocked. However, tracfone service in BLU does not support hotspot.

I plan on getting a BYOP SIM for $1 and moving the service from BLU back to the old phone in a day or two. I suspect that means I cannot unlock the BLU phone after 45 days correct? I think in order to get it unlocked I would have to keep the BLU active with the SIM it came on for 45 days. Any thoughts on how to get the BLU unlocked?

Thanks

60 days to unlock, not 45.
If you want to unlock it's highly recommended to activate & not change anything for 60 days to be safe.
TF allows hotspot only on the highest cost monthly plan, not bundle deals - has nothing to do with model of phone.

You cannot move Verizon sim around. You need to have a new sim IF you want to move to another phone. Probably need to contact them before you move sim.

That why I don't use Verizon. So many issues/steps/wasting time.
