I have the A16 5g, and it can simply not multitask due to the low ram ( 4gb ). I tried to go open Notes to get info to copy/paste for the browser, and by the time I switch back to the browser ( which is 15 seconds at the most ) the entire page has to be reloaded and I lose the form. If they had included just a little more ram, it would've been more than a usable phone. It's a real shame.

I was in the market for the 12-month unlimited plan for my kid so why not get a free phone even if the phone might not be ideal, so I went ahead and got the A17.
I did the eSIM kit and installed the 12-months plan on his iPhone 16, there was no issues.
I will use the A17 as an emergency/backup phone.

Are these 2026 phones or 2025.

Port in not required for A16.
Port in required for A17, about to make the sale and noticed that.

So are you saying I must port in number for A17, What if I just want a new number?
