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

It looks like 2 referrals would get you enough points for a $300 code. That is crazy.
TF had different tiers. Initially, the top tier got 12,000 points for each referral, so two of them are more than enough for a $300 code. But then they cut back. See attachments.

Similarly, they used to give points for Add-A-Line, during promotions you could get 10,000 points for each new line you added to your account. Then they cut back to 5,000 and now I think it's 1,000 or less. The Golden Days are over.

This deal is with Straight Talk, not TracFone. Their Rewards systems are similar but are separate. Also, referral is at the Account level, not per line. You earn referral points once per account, no matter how many lines you add to the account.

Yep, I got 19 free iPhone 11's and quite a few cheaper phones like Samsung A03s.
Same here, many of us got several free phones - and it was great for a while, but when they changed the system it stopped being worth the trouble. Haven't bothered with rewards for a year.

Looks like it's a YMMV deal. I see $75 for two new lines. I activated my first ST line about two weeks ago. I don't think it makes a difference.

I have this ST A15. The tray has space for one physical nano SIM on one side, and a micro SD card on the other side.

Thanks!! 👍 Does the sim manager in setting show sim 1 and 2? In best buy the rep opened the slot and said the memory card slot can be used as second sim.. if this is locked out in ST version then I will go ahead with BB it is 80$ though

I have the Samsung S24 and A54, each has the SIM Manager in Settings and IMEI1 + IMEI2. This ST A15 does not have the SIM Manager in Settings and has only one IMEI. Attached 1st and 2nd photos show the ST A15 SIM tray. The 3rd photo is a screengrab of the YouTube video below of a dual-physical-SIM A15. As far as I know, there are only several manufacturers (OnePlus, ASUS...) that sell US models with Dual physical SIM and Samsung isn't one of them. If the Best Buy A15 does not have the SIM Manager, and its SIM tray doesn't look like the one in the YouTube video, then the BB rep gave you bad info,

If you call ST and ask, they will tell you that you have up to 12 months after purchase to activate it.
