Phone will unlock after 60 days, once you receive it follow these steps:

A. Use the included sim tray eject tool to remove your sim card.
B. Boot up phone and say no to all the optional settings, dont connect to wifi.
C. Install Samsung Smart Switch app on your desktop this is the software that can update your phone
it will also download and install the correct drivers for communicating with samsung phones.
D. Use the Smart Switch app with phone connected via usb to your PC in order to update the phones firmware, repeat as many times as necessary until you are on the latest firmware.
E. Connect phone to Wi-Fi and open playstore, click the top right and select UPDATE. Update all your existing apps over Wi-Fi.
F. Install Tracfone MyAccount app, open app and below the username/password login form you will find a link to 'activate device'
G. Click link, select "Tracfone Phone", enter the IMEI 1 of your A16.
H. Select 'Need a New Number" and enter zip code.
I. Next page phone is now 'activated' and app will ask you to setup an account login with eMail, password, and 4 digit pin.
J. After entering app will ask if you want to buy a plan or add an airtime pin, select the bottom option "SKIP THIS STEP" no plan purchase is needed as your original purchase includes a bonus 1 year plan, that is tied to the activation of IMEI1 of your A16 which is already registered with the tracfone network.
K. Now insert your sim tray with sim card, as soon as you get mobile signal reboot the phone, then go into settings and disable mobile data and enable data saver mode.
Extra: L. Sign into app and click green banner up top to join rewards program, enter an 8 character ref code and for signs up this month you will gain 4000 reward points that will become available to spend on day 60 of active service, same day or the next day after your phone unlocks. good for an extra month of service or a refill of up to 12GB of mobile data.

NEVER INSERT THE SIM CARD THAT'S INCLUDED INTO ANY OTHER PHONE, NOT FOR A SECOND.
NO "LET ME BORROW THIS SIM FOR A SECOND TO TEST IF MY OTHER PHONE IS UNLOCKED"

The phone is locked. It will unlock in 60 days after activation. One year of service/1,500 minutes/1,500 texts/1.5GB data is included, so you will not have extra expenses.

1500 talk and text for a year? Can I use Wi-Fi to text and call, without it counting towards the 1500 talk and text limit?

Cameras
The triple rear camera system includes a 50MP main sensor, a 5MP ultrawide lens, and a 2MP macro lens. Photos in good lighting are clear and detailed, though low-light performance is average. Video recording is limited to 1080p at 30fps with gyro-EIS for stability. The 13MP front-facing camera does a decent job for selfies and video calls.

The image results of the cameras are better than average for this price point and quite useable in most situations. For those that want 4K video or higher quality night photos, plan to spend a lot more for an Apple, Google or higher end Samsung phone.


whenever i watch them sell tracfone on qvc or hsn, they always push pixel this pixel that, oh and the "beauty filter"!. i've yet to ever take a photo with any smart phone. i rarely even have it turned on, but i do want it for driving emergencies just in case. for that reason it's always been a great value. glad to say i've never been a stare into your phone all day, every day person. love being in that 1%.
on paper they can say whatever they want. The A15 defaults to 12MP photos and when taking 50MP, there is no difference. Actually, this '12MP standard' goes back to the days of Steve Jobs who I believe once mentioned there is no need to have cameras with >12MP resolution. Regardless, 12MP photos are just as bad as 50MP photos on A15. My Moto cheapie phone produces much better photos...

The minutes, text and data are for the WHOLE YEAR not by month.

Note: one year of service/1,500 minutes/1,500 texts/1.5GB data---is the total for ONE YEAR not PER MONTH. 1.5Gb is virtually useless for one year.

Not supporting eSIM was a deal breaker for me. I ended up getting a 128GB Moto G.

Select 'keep my number' option during activation, the system will then send a one time code to your phone to confirm, and your balance and phone number will carryover to the new samsung phone. Verify your new phone is working with a few test calls and text. Check balance by texting BAL to 611611 then repeat the process, go to activate, tracfone phone, keep my number, and put in the IMEI 1 of your current phone, new balance will move back to current phone.

Is the phone unlocked? If not, how long do they require you to wait before unlocking?
Tracfone is usually 2 month wait to unlock but someone above said it is unlocked already.

I've been using Tracfone for about 6 years and the minutes pile up...I mainly call from home and use either FB messenger/WhatsApp and have been fine.

Thank you for the post. Made a purchase. I wanted a Pixel Watch 4, but I think for what I really need (vs want), Inspire 3 will fit the bill. On top of that, I also get one year service for a line that will expire in May (going to port in). It all works out, and I am happy. 😀

If that's your goal, you might as well get a Google Voice number and use that to call & text without counting towards the 1500 talk & text quota
