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.

I would submit an FCC complaint because you have activated way before this new unlocking policy was announced. They then either accept to unlock it for you for free(as it should) or they may ask you to buy a $10 plan for one extra month.
Thanks!
Thanks!
You can buy a plan today and should be instantly eligible to unlock. Buy the plan, then call the unlock dept and tell them you have made 2 payments since activation and it's past 60 days. They should unlock it.

You should be able to unlock immediately upon 2nd payment since you're already past 60 days from initial activation. Call their unlock dept and ask for unlock
Thanks for any help.
What you're asking would only complicate things - even if it was possible they would likely still require adding another 30 days paid service (& might consider it a new activation with 60 more days needed).
With the TF family it's best to keep things simple to avoid any headaches later.
