$59.99
NEW HSN accounts: save $15 with WELCOME2025, so $44.99

This is a total of 1500 min 1500 texts, 1.5 GB data that can be used over a 1-year period. You can purchase additional time, minutes, texts, data at Tracfone (or purchase a new Tracphone like these, with time, minutes, texts, data)

"Tracfone Prepaid Service promotional package includes a no-contract 365-Day Plan of 1500 Talk & Text, plus 1.5GB of data."


There's lots of info in other Tracphone threads about how you transfer a number, how your current minutes, texts, data, and time get added to those included with a new Tracfone, etc. As always, Tracphone customer service can be poor, but you can usually transfer your existing Tracfone service to a new phone without dealing with customer service (woe to you if you have to deal with customer service).


Per the manual for Model # XT2271DL, you can install a compatible microSD card of up to 512GB to increase storage capacity.

wondering if it's worth editing for the 2024 to go on sale again

2023 seems to support more bands than the 2024

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 29, 30, 66, 71

vs

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, 28, 66, 71

If I plan to get this phone for my kid to use, is it worth getting an extra year of service or should I go for the newer Moto G 2025 in the other Tracfone deal for the same price?

I guess the answer depends on what you want to do with the phone, and how the capabilities differ across the phone options you are considering.

I'm pretty sure options for installing parental controls are the same across all Moto G phones.

I really don't understand why someone would care that a phone is the 2023, or 2024, or 2025 version. For the way I use the phone (mainly for texts and phone calls, extremely little internet and I never access any sensitive personal accounts (such as financial or credit card) accounts on my phone, the difference just doesn't matter.

I buy the cheap tracphones for the time, minutes, texts - there are many other people who do the same. They work just fine for me - the idea of paying even $70 for a single phone, let alone $900, is sheer nuts to me.

One thing I'd emphasize to kids:
Phone security is not as good as you can get via a computer (if you take security seriously and install appropriate security software on your computer, and do certain things only via wired connection), so I simply don't do those things on my phone.

Many apps essentially act as spyware, and that's another thing I'd emphasize to kids. Don't be accessing sensitive sites, like financial, bank, credit cards, etc. on phones with spyware (masquerading as a helpful app) installed.

Don't plan on doing much besides making phone calls (even with fast internet it takes hours to update the software from 12 to 13 with several security updates).

This phone is extremely slow by today's standards with minimal specs (it's definitely the 2023 model) but if you're just going to harvest the service it's a good deal.
The 2024 two phone G Play deal is better when it's on sale since it's a little more usable with 4 GB ram and more storage.

2024>2023. The 2023 was hampered with an MT processor and very laggy, 2024 returned to QC. 3/32GB vs 4/64GB, too.

Always use Lenovo software fix to update the phones out of the box. Skips the hours long task of doing on device system update.
https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/...stant-lmsa

and 100% Agree, the 2024 2-pack for $80-15 or even the single 2025 for $60-15 though only 1GB of ram more than the 3GB 2023 will be night/day in the quality of user experience.

I've got one 2023 that's semi usable, took installing Niagara launcher, debloating with adbAppControl and Shizuki+Canta to remove a bit more bloat. But I won't sit here and act like its worth the effort.

Yeah with all the other phones I have these are throwaways, only good for harvesting. Even with debloating and just the basic minimum installed I'm surprised how slow these are compared to the G Play 2024 version.

This is a sub-par phone with a sub-par plan. It's really only meant for those who either have absurdly low requirements (aka those who don't actually DO anything) -- or those with money to splash around, because this phone will cost you more in the long run than the original sticker price.The "1500 plan" is per year, not per month. So that works out to around 4 minutes of usage per day. That reminds me of the 1800COLLECT calls of "Please state your name:" --> "ITSROBERTWEHADABOY!" nonsense. 4mb of data per day isn't even a single webpage --> which site would you like to visit today?!?The device is 4G, with no 5G networking on it. So you're using antiquated, significantly slower technology that's on its way out, without any upgrade path (short of buying a new device!).The internal storage is a meager 32gb. That's barely enough for the OS and all the shovelware that TrackPhone mandatory installs onto the device. You'll need to buy a microSD card right out of the gate.The internal memory is 3gb. Only one application will run at a time, and it'll run very slowly at that. Furthermore, the more shovelware on it (aka "Download our AHH-PEE-PEE" from every store and company in existence) will add to the background spying, grinding it to a halt without even doing a thing on the device.
how exactly does it "cost you more in the long run than the original sticker price"?

Can I unlock it?

I have an old plan that still have some minutes and text. Is there anyway that I can transfer left over to this new 1500 minutes/tex/data to combine? TIA

The plan doesn't cover anything but the absolutely most barebones non-usage. So you're having to buy extra minutes/texts/data.

The storage is paltry -- so you're buying a microSD card just to do anything.

I think all that was pretty obvious. I mean, sure, if you keep it in a drawer and don't use it, it's not going to "cost" you anything extra. But...well, it's sitting in a drawer lol.
i am sure people buying this already know that it is enough for them.
the minutes is more than enough for anyone, considering google voice is FREE to use when your actual tracfone minutes ran out.
You are not going to find 2 smartphones WITH 1 yr of service each, for $45 anywhere else.

Keep in mind that those phones are always listening and watching. My previous moto g play from hsn periodically installs apps I don't want. I keep uninstalling them, and it keeps installing them
