This two pack is mainly a cheap way to get two Moto G Play phones, 1,500 minutes, texts, and data, with the real value coming from backup lines, 2FA, or using the phones on Wi Fi. The phones can be activated separately, service can be staggered for up to a year, and existing Tracfone numbers or balances can be transferred during activation. The main drawbacks are the small 1.5GB yearly data allotment, the 2024 model being 4G only, and the unlock wait tied to paid activation. Taxes and coupon reliability also vary, so the final out of pocket can be higher than the headline price.
Using Wi‑Fi can prevent the phone from consuming Tracfone data, which makes the 1.5GB annual allotment less limiting for everyday use.
The Verizon Value unlock process can automatically unlock eligible Verizon-activated phones after 60 days of paid activation and service.
The offer can support a practical setup where one phone is activated first and the second phone is activated later within a year.
Service transfers between the two included phones can move the two years of service, and keeping each line active for about 60 days may help ensure unlock eligibility.
The unlock timeline can require twelve months of active paid service for many non-Verizon activation scenarios, which delays carrier switching.
The 1.5GB per year data allotment can become unusable quickly if cellular speeds reach around 200 Mbps.
Combining two active Tracfone lines into one number can be very hard or impossible, making number consolidation difficult.
QVC may charge higher sales tax than the local rate, which can raise the out-the-door total price.

remember the 2024 is 4G only, the 2025 is 5G
and people should be aware you'll never root or bootloader unlock a tracfone, they are blacklisted

Even if you're having a kid or older relative use this to have service, just trying to understand what value is missing that a 5G would provide this doesn't? Not being sarcastic, truly curious why it's a deal breaker for so many?

for people just using the 1500 annual for sms 2-factor etc the 5G obviously doesn't matter in the slightest, I actually use a flipphone lol
BUT
since you highlighted people reselling the phone or unlocking for other carriers, 5G will give you PC/laptop-like speeds on your phone
remember latency on 4G is pretty bad, 5G only matters if it's replacing your PC
personally I don't understand people who use their phone more than a few minutes a day for anything but I am old lol
what I really do not like about tracfones is you can never replace the OS, so you can never escape all the layers of spyware etc,
now that should be a law, not just right to unlock but "right to repair" and actually own the phone

4G doesn't come close to that usually 20mbps so 1/10th
