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.

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.
might work if you are willing to put up with the lag. I play Clash of Clans on it and even that takes a while to load which is ridiculous since that's pretty much one of the simplest games you can play on anything.

Been using the phone the last two days, it's slowly upgrading from android 14 to 16..…..... It's sluggish as hell though, really the only reason to get it is that it will continue to get OS and security upgrades until 2030.....unlike my moto Edge (2024) that will probably stop getting upgrade this year (and it's still on android 15)
The are some Samsung debloat tools you can download on your pc that will get rid or disable most of the samsung services and apps. Also turning off animations and transition speed in the developer options definitely helps.

Does this come with the red card with the code or is the 1 year service embedded into the phone?

They stopped combining active lines several months ago. I wish it was still possible too but reps say the system won't allow it.
Still possible without involving customer service. Just google it.

I think we're taking about 2 different things. Yes you can activate a new line & keep current number but that's not combining 2 active lines. Howard Forums TF users have also said it can't be done anymore.

Bundled phones haven't used separate service cards for several years. Phone automatically gets plan added when phone is activated.

So if I buy this phone, I see it comes with 1500 talk/text/data allowance thatlllast a whole year or so I have to keep topping the minimum once a month for a year? Sorry if it's a dumb question. Never bought prepaid phones like this
You have service for a year. If you use up the allowance you can't use the phone until you top off but you keep your number for that entire year.

Tracfone went bad. They removed my phone number and plan when I tried to transfer in another phone number. They fked it up.

If you lose your number, it's a hassle to get it back as customer support is clueless and you are locked out of your accounts that need verification codes. Could seriously F with your life if this is your main number.

BEWARE
I lost my number and over 10K minutes+10K text+ 10GB of data so no more Tracfone after 15 years.Mad

My exemployeer had an app on our phone that worked fine for 4 days after you turned off location services but stopped working after the 5th day. When I found that out l created a new google account,installed the new user and app on an old phone. The phone never left my house.

Don't you have periodically charge them even if they are stored powered off?

Phones usually only lose around 3% to 5% of battery a month when turned off. You shouldn't need to charge them more then once a year if they are powered off.

If we have trouble getting this phone to connect to use our home WiFi (to use WhatsApp's voice calling free on WiFi), should we do the Factory reset BEFORE or after activating the phone ? I'm concerned that if we do the Factory reset AFTER activating it will mess-up our use of Tracfone's normal SIM card based cellular Talk/Text/Data services.
