Anyone know if this is the best annual plan deal out there or recommendations on better plans? (Annual prepaid preferably)

A17/A18 is pretty useless. I got one with the mint 1-year promo. Sometimes you can get a 2-pack of phone and TF service for under $100 from ebay, HSN or QVC.

A16/A17 (the A16 and A17 are identical apart from camera OIS and back panel aesthetics, the A18 will be next year's model), but you're otherwise right. I got one with the $40 Tracfone 1000min/text/MB plan as an emergency phone and in practical performance terms, it's slower than the decade old iPhone 8 (even after disabling the preloaded malware via ADB).

They have an annual plan only offered via eBay for $30 plus taxes for unlimited talk n text with 200mb a month. Runs on AT&T. Got it today and works fine (particularly if you have access to WiFi most of the time)

you're basically paying about $40 extra here for this triple the normal min/texts/data. it's really about an $89 phone normally. buying the extra min/texts/data included here costs $85, if you bought them later on from tracfone. hence a $45 gain. plus you don't have login to tracfone to buy that extra stuff.
past galaxy's usually come with 5-6 years of updates. it's an often overlooked benefit. anyone know if this has those same updates?

I mean this is the best from tracfone. They used to have a 24gb plan but havent offered it for at least a year. Outside tracfone there are better options if you have a phone already

Did you mean "bloatware" not malware?

If not, please explain what exact preinstalled software is considered malware.

If youre referring to updates on their flagship models, that's exclusive to them only.
They're giving you a reason to fork over the bigger bucks.
Obviously the same isn't offered for a low tier model like this.

PSA: I use my Tracfone as a backup, so seldom.

They've sent me email reminders to use it, which is very nice, but I cannot count on that, so I set up my own schedule reminders.

They require "regular use" to keep the line active, which currently states less than a 6-month gap between uses.

Details from their terms:

Much more liberal than Helium is (was). Too bad they've just killed their free (plus minimal taxes and fee @<$1) Helium plan.

I would look into US Mobile. I got the A17 from Walmart AT&T prepaid unlimited plan for 1 month all for around $70. It comes preloaded with an unlocknyou from app from AT&T which all you'll need is to have over 60 days of service with them and they will unlock the phone for other carriers.

Obviously it is just common sense to fact check before replying. One click and you will find:
"The Samsung Galaxy A17 (released August-September 2025) will receive 6 years of software updates, officially ending in August 2031.

This support timeline includes:
Operating System (OS) Upgrades: 6 generations of OS upgrades
Security Updates: 6 years of regular security patches
"

Same update policy for the previous A16 as well.
