Always amazes me on every Tracfone deal, posters expect for $40. to get a I-phone like device and unlimited service. Not all of us need a phone to be an umbilical cord. I have an A14 Tracfone now and love it. I can talk and text all I need and check emails with it. Usually around wi-fi plus I have better things to do than watch a movie or play video games on a 6" screen. Blessed that for <$5.00 a month I can function quite well. Of course, I can tell everybody worth telling everything I know worth telling in 5 minutes or less

I put one of these in each of my kids gloveboxes, in case they lose or destroy their regular phones, so they can still get a hold of me in an emergency.

Ok, I think my unit has a really crappy battery. Within just 5 min of turning back on after a full charge, it drains to 88 percent. Accubattery for some reason won't detect full discharge on this phone, so I can't get a battery health status, anyone got a solution? (or alternate app) It's currently android 16

Does tracfone require ONE YEAR to unlock now?
Does it say this in terms?

Verizon changed the unlock policy for Tracfone, Total Wireless & Straight Talk on January 20 & it's posted on the websites. Any deals around that time (& since) have had lots of angry posts because now it's a year of actual paid service (carry over service doesn't apply to unlock).

Quote from Olafur :
From what I've heard, that appears to be Ponzi scheme-esque endeavor. The company sells expensive licenses to their software, and they use that money to pay people who end up running that software. Also, their "litepaper" does not make it clear what the purpose of the software is and how it makes them money. Be careful participating in that or promoting it on SD.
Licenses are free, you should reread what you're talking about. Node operators buy the UNO license for 5K$, which gives them a certain amount of licenses for that. They give those out free to License Operators (regular users) who get paid a split of the earnings. The UNO gets usually about 10% and Regular Users (called ULO's) get the other 90% of the daily earnings which is around .35-.40 cents per phone per day. How do I know? I have a 50 device phone farm.

Unity has no referral system so there's little benefit of me telling you about it other than to show others the benefits of using a phone to make money for them.

How good would this phone to play Genshin Impact? I'm currently still using my Samsung Galaxy S8 (bathroom phone).

Edit: bought it anyway for giggles. Might use the SIM on old dumb phone for the kiddo.

Thank you.
"a year of actual paid service" - does this mean even 1-year included bundle does not qualify?
One has to actually PAY with some kind of cash/card?

Do you have a link to that tracfone thread with "lots of angry posts"?

Bundled service should qualify as it's considered purchased for this phone, but any previous service from a current TF will not not count.
There were numerous threads for TF/TW/ST deals when VZ changed the policy and for at least a month aftwards as people began to find out. Every deal since then has mentioned it because it's such a drastic change from the previous 60 day requirement.

*Quick question for folks experienced with Tracfone stacking:*

I currently have two active lines, each with their own service end date and balances (talk/text/data).

Is there any way to combine or consolidate the remaining service from one active line into another active line to extend the expiry and pool balances?

I know stacking works when activating a new plan onto an existing line, but wondering if there's any working method (official or workaround) for combining two already active lines.

Appreciate any insights!

They stopped combining active lines several months ago. I wish it was still possible too but reps say the system won't allow it.

Quote from Frank36 :
What could be the use of one of these?
Well I use a Pixel and iPhone and have one of these just to get a feel for what I might be missing going with Samsung which ain't much tbh. Phone comes preloaded with ton of bloat and phone is already super slow which don't help. I mean you get access to Samsung exclusives like their own Samsung store and Samsung TV which you can also get if you own a Samsung tablet or TV/monitor. Samsung health on phone makes it easy to keep track of food and other stuff which you could also do with and better with a watch tho tbh. Otherwise, only got it because of the fancy AMOLED FHD+ Display to compare which I realized was a mistake after since doesn't even support HDR so a complete waste!
