4GB RAM is ok for a lower end Android phone like the A15. It is a 2024 phone so it will get at 4 years update from Samsung.
There are several tips discussed on other SD threads about how to "speed up" these phones (uninstalling unused apps, turning animation off in developer mode and setting RAMplus to zero).
The A15 is probably fine as a back up phone and you are not using multiple apps at the same time. At this low price on straight talk and unlock in 60 days, it is a good deal if you need a back up phone for cheap.

deal is long gone, sharing here to explain for other people

June 12-Oct 13 the free straight talk phone was the Moto G Power 2024 edition if you bought 1 month of silver service. Brand new phone (announced late March 2024) on the market, so new that some phones were not auto unlocking in August (60 days after) for Straight Talk forgot to install the unlock server on their end and thus people had complaints for their phones were not auto unlocking as they should. But by early September Straight Talk had fix this and phones were auto unlocking after 60 days again. My personal phone that I bought right before the sale ended should be unlocking in 32 days *so cross my fingers* (took a week and a half to ship the device, this is relevant for I am traveling in christmas so I need internet while traveling)

New Phone deal is the Samsung A15 5g above. �� Deal is good till Jan 5, 2025 aka a different 3 month period of this will be the straight talk phone on sale, free after 1 month service.

The A15 has less ram, and makes a horrible T-Mobile phone for it has the verizon 5g bands but not both of the two the 5g frequency bands T-Mobile uses (4g should still work though, and it has one of the two main 5g bands.) Frequency Bands for AT&T it has some of the 5g and 4g bands but not all that carrier uses, but also AT&T has a white list problem where only certain phone models work on AT&T and I do not know if this phone works on AT&T due to that whitelist or not.

Good Luck

You were cancelled because they have a limit of 2 discounted phones per account. The deal is still available on website but you will need a different account to order.
(The same deal is also advertised for in store purchase/activation at Walmart, check local inventory).
I guess I lucked out because I had already purchased two $99 iPhone 13 using this same account and was able to purchase two free A15 (plan cost was $15 and $10 for the two A15)

I tried to do exactly what the original poster of this deal claimed could be done. It cannot be done unfortunately, Straight Talk is not allowing it. See the quote below, this does not work. Don't take my word for it, try it yourself.

"Now if you have another line already with Straight Talk (for example you bought the iPhone 13 promo for $200 with $45 silver plan already in your acct), the price of the A15 will drop to $0 and the silver plan for the first A15 will be $30. Add another A15 with the silver plan and the 2nd A15 price will be $0 and the silver plan will be $15. You can't buy more than 2 A15's so didn't try."

Same price for me too. Then I got the email that the order was canceled.

You got lucky if they got delivered - in the beginning of deals they often have glitches that get corrected a few days later - same thing happened with their 2024 Motorola G Power deal last summer. Some were able to place multiple orders right away then everyone else got limited to 2 and orders were cancelled. They've even occasionally recalled items that were FedEx shipped & had them returned before delivery.

They have not yet shipped, but the status of the order is showing as Pending remote fulfillment which means they've gotten past the payment approval stage.

I just noticed nobody has said anything about if this can be unlocked at all. 5 pages of comments and half of them are annoying people complaining about the ram of this phone and I'm 99% sure none of these people have ever used this phone. I actually know people who have this phone and it's fine. I'll say it blows the doors off the moto G play.

So on straight talks website it says this phone has the Helio G99. You goto the phones overview page and scroll down.

Hoping for an A35 deal to come around. Better cameras and slightly better CPU but still keeping the microSD slot.

Not seeing any great phone deals this year. This is practically a burner phone. Last year I got an iphone SE3 for $80. Walmart also had the A54 for $129.
