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 am just thinking, if this $10 plan has "unlimited" data with tethering, maybe it is worth keeping in for now and don't cancel it after the phone is unlocked.
Any screenshot or PDF would be great - thank you.
Any idea how I can get it unlocked (without paying for another 33 days).
Feel like i should complain to FTC.

"For all cellphones Activated with TracFone service on the Verizon network on or after November 23, 2021, the cellphone will be remotely unlocked automatically, sixty (60) days after Activation."
I'm having the same issue. Are you filing to FTC?
I think I'm going to wait another 30 days because for some reason it says 35 days on their system even though 60 days has passed since I activated it.

Formal FCC complaint gets a callback from ST/TW resolution dept & they're just telling people they have to pay the additional month to unlock phone. No one is doing anything other than (sometimes) offering a cheaper plan for the 2nd month. It's frustrating when you know it's wrong & they screwed us over but I went ahead & added an extra month to avoid arguing - my phone auto unlocked yesterday & now I'm free of them.

I'm wondering if no plan choice showing for the A35 is indicative of it being out of stock. Does anyone know if the A35 goes in and out of stock?
I'd rather get the A35 over the A36. Thanks.

Just curious, what is the reason you want the A35 over the A36?
