YMMV Get a Tracfone Samsung Galaxy A15 5G 64GB phone Locked to Tracfone for FREE when trying to port out a prepaid line.
Worked for me seamlessly hence sharing with fellow SDealers. Even though locked, a free phone is a free phone.
Pre-requisite: You must have an active prepaid line with Tracfone (In my case, it was that popular one year 1500 mins/text/data line that was expiring soon)
Steps to follow:
- Call Tracfone support (1-800-867-7183) and after inisistng the IVR to divert to a human persistently, request a port out pin once the human agent joins.
- Provide a reason for port-out. Example: Better deal with another carrier say ATnT etc.
- Just before the agent asks for approval to send a pin to initiate the port-out request, either the agent would themselves tell you about a free phone offer if you stay (no taxes no fees, completely free) or if they don't try to ask them for such an offer. In my case they offered me a free phone and thats how got to know about it
- Ask them to process that free phone offer. The only option they gave me was 'Samsung Galaxy A15 5G 64GB' as a free phone. I tried to see if they could offer anything better but no avail. You can try YMMV
- After verifying the shipping address, they processed the order for me. No credit card, no payment, no taxes or fee.
- I got the order confirmation email instantly and a shipping confirmation UPS 2nd day air within 5 hours. YMMV
I am not sure if this is already known or routine but I just shared in case it might be helpful for others because it worked for me. Huge YMMV
Also, I know that phone is basically useless outside of tracfone and specs are weak and I dont plan to use any plans on it for 365 days to unlock. But since it's free, it's worth IMHO.
Also, I might port out anyway for any better prepaid deals later with metro, for example, or let the line die, so no harm.
Also, no id verification, no selfie uploads, no credit card/payment method required or any other catch.
