Deal Details
"renewed" Samsung A16 Smartphone with 5G service via Amazon

https://www.amazon.com/Tracfone-R...B0GJ6R6KKG

This deal is back in stock after a few months now

I got one Monday, delivered Wednesday via UPS despite Friday schedule

went out of stock yesterday but now back again

so maybe limited, check daily if it disappears again

Almost like new (mine had invisible scuff marks)

Comes in sketchy looking box with just the data cable and some open packets which was probably the SIM pre-inserted by agent

Battery was almost dead, phone has not been used in a long long time

The YEAR of service is upon activation of the SIM, no extra card/info to enter

Yes you can transfer/rollover your existing Tracfone account

https://www.amazon.com/Tracfone-R...B0GJ6R6KKG

Comes with FULL YEAR of Tracfone by Verizon service 5G

mine says UNLIMITED talk and text when I check balance

there is only 1GB of data but it DOES have HOTSPOT on that 1GB

my previous data from tracfone DID rollover for years and still does on this phone but the 9GB of that data is listed as "PAYGO" while the 1GB is listed as UNI

(customer service says the previous data is not hotspot available)

btw the GPS on this supports BeiDou which is neat,
none of my other devices will, China is supposed blocked in US but not on the A16

oh btw another neat thing is this phone is DUAL SIM

I've never had a phone this fancy (unfortunately no ANT+ support like other Samsung)

in a year you can unlock it, some people have had limited success getting tracfone to unlock early since the year is prepaid

and then you can use things like this $5 BOOST MOBILE sim on it

https://www.amazon.com/Boost-Mobi...B0F8FS1VVX

back in stock for $5, don't pay more, unlimited data first month then cancel

but since that sim is at&t the phone must be unlocked for it to work

yup I noticed that disappeared this year too since Verizon took over

all the deals on amazon and ebay and qvc disappeared

target still has a tracfone clamshell for $35 but might as well spend the $5 more for emergency hotspot on this phone

but this phone is so fancy it must have some resell value once unlocked?

I use them to harvest the plans for family members. 2 pack of flip phones with service for $36 was awesome.

comments there mention that it comes with 1500 minutes + 1500 messages. is that for 1 year, or is it for each month for one year?

previous the 1500 1 year plans is just for the YEAR and NOT each month

but mine actually says UNLIMITED talk+text for one year after activation

the 1500 is the paygo plan, this phone uses some kind of new UNI plan

however there is only 1GB of data for the YEAR

but that data is HOTSPOT allowed

my old PAYGO data carried over to this new phone but it's listed seperately and not elgible for hotspot

Is this a fact that this is an actual Physical Dual-SIM phone? Do you have one at home to confirm this? I wonder if this in an international gray-market model, because this is very uncommon in North America.

if you can tell me how to physically examine the dual sim I have it in my hand

however under the phone info menu in android 14, it lists SIM-1 and SIM-2

tracfone is activated under SIM-1

SIM-2 is supposedly available

hang on I'll add a screenshot

added, see the "AVAILABLE SIM IMEI 2"

Just be aware that some dual-sim phones have a hybrid SIM-SD card slot on the second SIM. So if you use 2 physical SIMs, you can't use an SD card...
The Amazon description says Dual-SIM, so it is probably a fact. Too bad this phone has no eSIM support but I guess you can't have everything for $40 I suppose. Nice find!
BTW: Wow, it's even 5G! I was looking at Gsmarena and thought this was LTE only. Even better!

I think unlimited talk + text + 1GB data is for 1 month only, that's their $15 monthly plan. Last year, when my service was almost expired but there was no good phone on sale at that time, I bought this $15 plan hoping it would extend my service and it did, but all of my remaining minutes, texts and data that I stacked for years were wiped out. Contacted customer service and they couldn't do anything about it. They said I could either continue paying $15 monthly, or buy a new yearly paygo plan to replace, but the lost balance was gone forever.

Dual SIM means the phone can take 2 SIM cards. Not that one SIM acts as two SIM cards. You should either have a tray that accepts two SIM cards or a place behind the battery for two SIM cards, if the battery is replaceable.

Ouch, if true that would be a big deal breaker. I have service until Aug 2027 and was hoping to extend with this. If that wipes out all my minutes/text/data, then I'll pass. How do we confirm this for sure? The Amazon title makes it seem like the typical QVC annual plan, not a $15 monthly plan...

you may be right, because now when I look at account details online

it shows the paygo is going to expire at end of July in 30 days

BUT

I had talked to an agent online chat and asked why UNI only showed 1GB and 9.70GB was on PAYGO

and magically now after I talked to them, I seem to be showing 10.42GB of data

it was not showing that before the chat, I do not think

but see if you can decipher this, I've been rolling over paygo for years now

I guess I am going to find out the hard way after July 30
