BTW... I've read that the A16 gets 6 years of OS updates from Samsung.

You get the 1500 minutes and 1500 texts and 1.5GB of data and a year to use it
If you run out of any you can add more during the service time.
It should add more service time depending on if you are add a service card I think.
The $20 card will add extra talk minutes and 90 days of service.
I haven't done that in a long time so I'm not entirely sure about how many extra minutes that adds.
I'm sure some of our Slickdeals experts will be able to fill you in with more information on this subject.
128GB Storage | 4GB RAM
Also, if you are new to Tracfone, when you activate your plan with the new phone, you are given 1,000 reward points (worth $10) as a new user. If you have a referral code, you will be given additional 1,500 points (worth $15). You can get a referral code from any existing Tracfone user. The reward points can be used to buy plans add-ons.
I had a Samsung A15 (the previous version of A16) with 128GB ROM and 4GB RAM. It was usable but slow. I just activated a new one-year plan bundled with Moto G Power 2024 (bought from QVC) with 128GB ROM and 8GB RAM. It is a lot faster and smoother. Yes, I did move my phone number along with the remaining min/text/data from my Samsung A15. BTW Moto G Power is much better than Moto G. The 8GB RAM rocks.
If you want to switch to a better phone, you can buy a Tracfone SIM card from Best Buy and contact Tracfone support to switch the device after you activate the original phone with the bundled plan.
If I buy this as a spare phone, will it get unlock automatically on the 365th day even if I am not renewing? Or does it requires me to pay an extra month, and then I have to submit a request to unlock after 1 year?

This happened to a friend of mine last month. He has been with Tracfone for a very long time (at least 6 years) and his phone was activated 3+ years ago. He thought his phone was unlocked. He checked with Tracfone support and was told that his phone was unlocked. Last month he tried to port his number to Mint and half way through the port, it came back and said that his phone was locked. He talked to Tracfone support and was confirmed that his phone was actually locked. For phones activated 3+ years ago with Tracfone, you have to request unlock as unlocking was not automatic then. He never sent in unlock request. But Tracfone could no longer unlock his phone stating that his phone number left their system 30 minutes ago.
1. Moto G Play - the slowest.
2. Moto G is a bit better than Moto G Play.
3. Moto G Power with 8GB is better than Moto G or G Play.
4. Moto G Stylus is a bit better than Moto G Power.
I would take the Moto G Power (8GB RAM) over the Galaxy A16 4GB RAM cuz the G Power is faster and smoother especially if you runs too many apps.
A 1 yr TF plan costs more than $40 so it's probably worth it just for the service.
