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 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.

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.
Thank you for clarifying that it is 60 days, and hotspot availability is not on bundled deals

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
What happened to your minutes and texts balance? Thanks

Earlier one was the 1500 mins/ 1500 text and 1.5GB Data for 1 year expiring May 15, 24. Had exhausted data before adding this. This plan is unlimited talk/text and 24 GB for year. So now the new balance reads - unlimited talk/text, 23.99 GB after adding. Essentially my expiry is not 4/19/25(it would have been that had I started this as a new number I think), instead it is 1 year from when the previous one expires. Hope this helps..

i have a question. I used to have limited 5000 minutes and 5000 txt and 1 gb data left. I activated the BLU on this account and now it becomes unlimited min/txt and added 24 gb data (25 now) plus 1 more year (exp 2026) of service.

So what happens if I buy those Journey flip phone Two packs (1200/1200/1200/365) and tags on this account, how will the min/txt/data/year look like?

I also want to know. Do you have an answer now?

Also, what happens to your 5000 minutes and 5000 txt after you activated? I know it becomes unlimited min/txt for a year. So, do you get your 5000 minutes and 5000 txt back after one year of unlimited min/txt?

those 5000 mins and txt are gone. No separate buckets for later use.
I dont have an answer for you if I add 1500/1500/1.5gb on my unlimited account. But I do plan to harvest enough of these $50 plan just to keep my account going for years to come. I think $50 bucks for 24 gb with unlimited call/txt for a yr is very reasonable, plus a "free" backup phone.

Others have said once the year of unlimited is up as long as you have service time the previous balance is still good, you don't lose it.
(I can't verify from personal experience but others have, so when in doubt I'd call & ask).
