The a35 is good, and is likely the last of the "good" Samsung a-series phones with an SD slot. The a36 and a56 don't have them.
I got the previous (nearly identical) a54 deal and was very happy with it. The two phones are architecturally almost identical (same processors and ram). It's not a speed demon, but is fast enough to do all "normal" stuff, like social media, email, phone, etc... without any real performance problems. Maybe a gamer would be disappointed with it, and it will be getting OneUI 7 very, very soon.
Porting in a number is a hassle -- if you don't already have a phone number.
The whole ID verification is just...how do the kids say it nowadays...."totes wack".
No idea how they're storing your image and credentials -- or who has access to them -- or what the process is for them to expunge that data -- or who is ensuring they're following best practices.
Oh who am I kidding, your DL and image are being sold to the highest bidder. We all know that.

Called customer service and they say 60 days of paid service needed. Seems like they are applying this policy to all phones whose 60 days happen after April 1.

"Validation for Phone with Service Line
Our systems indicate that your device has a service line attached. For security reasons, we also need to verify your phone number."
After entering the phone number, I see:
"Device Unlocking Eligibility Result
Eligible For: Unlocking
Based on our Unlocking Policy, your device meets the criteria for unlocking. Please read the information below carefully before proceeding with the Unlocking Request."
The page asks me to enter my name, email, and an alternate phone number. But when I click the "Submit" button, it just loops me back to the page where I entered the serial number—without any indication that my request was submitted successfully...
I was curious what you see on their webpage when you enter your serial number.
Interestingly, if I use my phone number on the initial page instead of the serial number, it says:
"We apologize. Your device is not eligible for our Unlocking Program."
