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.

Is there another code that works?
So really, why bother.
so, clear out cookies, use wifi at Starbucks, use a disposable CC number. lots of ways to protect yourself.
The 2025 5G moto is also a better device. Faster and with more recent android.

Is there another code that works?
I'm curious, any reason for the year-long delay? Not prying, just that it would be a lot easier to have your services combined in the beginning, and have the device unlocked earlier in the process.
Curious, if you're using a lower end smartphone like this for back up or to have a 2nd or 3rd line for two factor or for running ads where people call you what is the real trade off not having 5G? I used these phones primarily in the house on wifi, so the minutes issue is never a concern, nor is the data and I'm connected to a 5G router?
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?
many say no longer allowed since few months agoTax-sharing agreement
Background: This is a separate issue related to how some California cities have entered into tax-sharing agreements with online retailers like Best Buy.
How it works: In these arrangements, sales tax collected from a purchase is sent to a specific city's jurisdiction. That city then gives a significant portion of the tax revenue back to the retailer, and sometimes to the consultant who arranged the deal.
