Previously I also did a lot of Metro and Tracfone deals to give to friends and family.

That said I have been burnt enough times and learnt the hard way to stay away from them. At least with Metro the system rejects orders beforehand. With Tracfone the issues happen after you get the phone…if something goes wrong in activation the customer service outrigjt lies and wastes your time .
I saw quite a few comments on "unlocked automatically after 60 days"
That was NOT my case a few months ago, I needed to talk to CSR for unlocking.
I had this phone for about 5 months. The battery sucks, the SOT was about 4 hours on a full charge, and AccuBattery estimated it even lower. The phone heated a lot. Both issues should be caused by Samsung's in house 1380 chipset (fabricated by Samsung as well). I had a OnePlus Nord 20 at the same price range that lasted about 11- 12 hours SOT on a full charge without heating issues.

The camera is good but not splendid. The screen looks good but has lagged touch register/none-register issue. Overall this phone is buggy and not worth the MSRP of $699. $100 seems like a fair price if you don't have other choice.

I tried with the cricket byod site and it said not compatible.
I assume this was while it was still locked? Or, it probably doesn't make a difference, right? Thanks nonetheless.

I'm confused. Do you have to pay for the 2nd month of service or not? I bought it yesterday using a GV number (Hopefully the port will work with it), on the Iphone deal it says there is no need to pay for the 2nd month, is it the same with this phone or do i actually have to pay another $50~ ontop of having to buy a $20 phone charger (The white wall charger is on sale for $10 on Amazon, but i don't have prime so had to pay shipping and after tax it came out to be $18) for this phone as that kind of kills the deal.

Pretty certain that you don't need the 2nd month of service. A bunch of people did the Black Friday Straight Talk deal last year and the phones unlocked without the 2nd month. Straight Talk is another Verizon/TracFone MVNO.

Unlike the iPhones which unlocked automatically, you may need to initiate the unlock process and key in the unlock codes. If it's anything like TracFone, it's a slight pain in the butt, but it works.

Thank you. I've sent message to 611611,and get reply "Great news!!! Your phone is already eligible to be unlocked. Please call Unlock Department. 1-888-442-5102" . Customer service said I have 59 days before unlock.
this makes me believe that this phone will not get automatically unlocked over-the-air but will need an unlock code! which means dealing with customer service! who may or may not allow the unlock if the service is not active at the time of calling them!

I hope this is true, but if it is not, bear in mind that you will probably need a third month as well.

I don't trust the phone automatically unlocking on day 60 and expiring on day 60. If anything at all goes wrong, you'll need an extra couple days to be on-plan and request and unlock, which would suck.

For a phone sold by Tracfone/StraightTalk/Total/Net 10 etc that's not capable of getting unlocked over-the-air, you go to this web site after the required waiting period (60 days in this case) to request the unlock codes. https://www.tfwunlockpolicy.com/w...BIS9nQSEh/ If the site shows the phone is ready to be unlocked, it'll ask for your name, email address, the phone's number and IMEI. Then it will display two strings of codes and instructions to apply them. The same info will also be sent to the email address you provided.

You only need to call the Unlocking Dept if there's a problem, like the site says the phone is not eligble for unlocking although it's past the waiting period.

NOTE:
* On the phone, you dial #TFUNLOCK# (#83865625#) to access the TF UNLOCK Menu to enter the codes. With a Samsung phone, you need to use the Samsung PHONE app (green phone icon), not the Google PHONE app (blue phone icon), to get to the Unlock Menu.
* SOMETIMES the two strings of codes are shown out-of-sequence. If you type in the 1st string and it says Invalid Code, then try entering the 2nd string first.

Tough to answer, like asking "How's Coke vs Pepsi". Each has its fans.

I have a slightly different question this phone versus iPhone 11 which one is faster. It seems that this one has more ram has a bigger screen has a bigger battery and is an overall superior phone to the iPhone 11.
