long answer different carriers have different radio frequency zones called "bands" allocated to them by the various authorities, thus you match your phone to those frequency "bands" and if your phone has the right bands it can talk to the cell phone towers that use those bands. This is technical, exact model number is Samsung S146VL - Galaxy A14 5G 2023 (there are multiple versions of the A14 for different carriers and US vs non US) here are all the fancy technical bands it supports which is greek to most people (including me even if I can parse it after sorted.)
Supported Frequency Bands (30) https://www.frequencych
GSM aka 2g
850 MHz GSM
900 MHz (E-GSM) GSM
1800 MHz (DCS) GSM
1900 MHz (PCS) GSM
UMTS a form of 3G
B1 (2100 MHz) UMTS
B2 (1900 MHz PCS) UMTS
B4 (1700/2100 MHz AWS 1) UMTS
B5 (850 MHz) UMTS
B8 (900 MHz GSM) UMTS
LTE
B1 (2100 MHz) LTE
B2 (1900 MHz PCS) LTE
B3 (1800 MHz +) LTE
B4 (1700/2100 MHz AWS 1) LTE
B5 (850 MHz) LTE
B7 (2600 MHz) LTE
B12 (700 MHz ac) LTE
B13 (700 MHz c) LTE
B20 (800 MHz DD) LTE
B28 (700 MHz APT) LTE
B38 (TD 2600 MHz) LTE
B39 (TD 1900 MHz +) LTE
B40 (TD 2300 MHz) LTE
B41 (TD 2500 MHz) LTE
B48 (TD 3600 MHz) LTE
B66 (1700/2100 MHz) LTE
5G NR
N2 (1900 MHz)
N5 (850 MHz)
N66 (1700/2100 MHz)
N77 (3700 MHz)
N78 (3500 MHz)
for example this will work on Tracfone, Verizon (after unlock) and T-Mobile (after Unlock)
But while it will work on T-Mobile it lacks the bands that T-Mobile uses for its 5g for T-Mobile uses bands 71, 41, and 258, 260 and 261 with its 5g so it is not a great T-Mobile phone even if it works great for Tracfone and Verizon.
Thank you to the QVC CSR.

1. Is this unlockable?
2. If I get this phone do I have to keep paying yearly or monthly if I do not intend to use the line?
3. Can other prepaid SIM card be used for this phone?
4. Would this work as international phone (if unlock)?
Please sDErs. . . Answers and pls be nice. This is for my Grandparents who wants to retire in a different country.
It was challenging finding a suitable filler item to go past $60, but I grabbed a similar rug pad. Too bad that $4.00 add-on required $3.50 shipping, but still a great deal overall.

2. No, you pay for a year of service with 1500 TTD. Once the buckets run out, you can buy more from TF directly (expensive) or buy similar deals to extend the service and add TTD.
3. Most likely yes, after unlock.
4. Yes, if it supports the bands used in other countries.
