You can unlock all Tracfones after 60 days (the 12 month requirement went away almost 3 years ago).

Was in same boat about 6 months ago, trying to decide whether to go with a flip like the Nokia or a smartphone like the Moto G Play 2024. Kid is 10 and was starting 5th grade. We wanted him to have a phone so we could text him if plans changed (ride the bus, get picked up, etc) or for him to contact us if something came up.

I went with the Moto G Play 2024 and used Google's Family Link to limit the phone functionality.

Using Family Link, I disabled EVERYTHING except the phone, messages, Google maps app. I also disabled Google Search as otherwise, Google search would allow YouTube videos and websites to load through search (weird but true).

Nice thing is his (the phone's) location will show up in my Google apps so indirectly, I can see where his phone was last online. Had a slight spike in data use due to him using Google Maps while riding the bus to watch the dot move in real time but I downloaded local maps, disabled traffic view and told him to not switch satellite view on as that uses more data.

So far so good.

We stressed to him that this is strictly to help him reach us or be reached. if he mis-uses it, he loses it. He's not supposed to share it with friends as he knows it's a prepaid with limited minutes and texts intended to last the ENTIRE school year. If he blows through it, he'll have to pay to have it reloaded.

Eventually, he will need something more than the TracFone plan especially when he gets old enough to share the number with approved friends.The phone auto unlocked after 60 days, am thinking to use the phone with tello down the road, they have some cheap plans (unlimited text and call, 1GB for $9/month).

Don't switch SIMs. Once you've activated the phones, you can easily DIY [reddit.com] to transfer the service to the older phone.

I'm considering getting this for my preteen. Are there any better options out there? I'm not keen on Apple or Android devices for kids.

There's nothing to cancel. Might be helpful to do some research on how pay as you go Tracfone works so you understand what it is.

I did basically the same thing for my child except I also added google voice and messenger kids so the only time she even has to use the actual minutes and texts is if she is at a place without Wi-Fi. The only people with her real number are the adults who really need it, to chat with her friends she uses the other methods and only on Wi-Fi.

Okay. This is an inexpensive flip phone with some airtime, some texts, and some data. And it works off of WiFi. I get all that.

Color me ignorant because I've not had a non-smartphone in ages... but what is the included data for, and unless it does WiFi calling, what is the WiFi for?

And to the point.... can I get this, unlock it, sign it up for someone else's cheap data plan, and use it as a hotspot?

Yes. I did this deal last week (bought with a $20 OFF 1st-Time coupon, so overpaid by $10). Activated Flip phone #1 with a transfer from my wife's Samsung A50 currently on TF/Verizon. Flip phone #1 had her phone number, balances + 1200 in each bucket, service end date extended one year. The next day, activated Flip Phone #2 with a transfer from Flip phone #1, same increases in bucket balances and one more year of service. Re-activated her A50 with a transfer from Flip phone #2. Easy peasy. It's a good idea to do each activation on a different day, so they'll will have different date stamps in the transaction history. Easier for TF reps to sort things out if something went wrong. They aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer.
apologies, I'm not the sharpest knife here either - will those steps work for an existing # that I'm using on another (unlocked fwiw) phone. It is set to expire in a few days and I'd like to apply these 2x times toward my original # balance. Would that work? I'm not sure I got the "transfer" part in your post. Thanks for sharing your experience!

For the 1200 texts per year, thats outbound only, correct? Thinking of getting this for a Grandparent instead of the $50/mo android they barely use

So I got some of those 24gb 1 year tracfones last winter. And it's coming up on a year. So Im guessing the benefit here is I can use these phone plans to add a year to my existing plans, and add minimal data 1.2GB for a year. To which I somehow add additional data later. Correct? Am I missing the purpose here, we are really buying the one year time unit? And how do i transfer these one year time units to my existing phones.

Tracfone really get you in some mind benders dont she? I love it.
