Community Reviews
This bundle is mainly useful as a cheap way to harvest Tracfone service, since the Galaxy A03 is very slow, stuck on Android 11, and best suited to calls, texts, or backup use. The strongest reports say each phone can carry a 1 year plan with 1500 minutes, texts, and 1.5 GB data, and that the balances can be transferred or stacked onto an existing line. The main caveat is that activation is inconsistent, with some orders arriving without the plan attached and requiring seller or Tracfone support to fix it. The phones also arrive in plain white boxes, so this feels more like service value than a polished handset deal.
Common Questions (5)
Several buyers report that each phone includes its own 1-year plan with 1500 minutes/texts/data, but others received only one plan total or no plan attached at all. The safest expectation is that the listing is inconsistent and may require activation help, a seller message, or a return if the plans are missing.
Yes. Activating the A03 on the same Tracfone account and choosing to transfer your existing number can stack the bundle's service time and units onto your current line, and many users then move it back to their original phone after waiting about a day. Some transfers work through the website, while others need the TRANSFER text flow or support.
It is very slow and outdated, running Android 11 with no recent updates, so it is best suited for calls, texts, or service harvesting rather than everyday app use. Apps can lag badly and many newer apps may not install, though it can still work as a basic backup or single-purpose phone.
Check the IMEI with Tracfone or the seller first, because some units activate without the included plan showing up. If the plan is missing, buyers have had success messaging VerizonValue/eBay with the IMEI so they can push the 1-year plan to the device; otherwise eBay "not as described" returns have been used.
The phone generally needs 1 year of active service before it can unlock, and if you transfer the service away too early it may not qualify. Even after a year, these A03 units are so old that they may not be worth much by the time they unlock.

Wondering the same.

Also note that while harvesting USUALLY works, often times they block you and you lose the minutes / gb, and they only extend the service days. I have found that I have to wait until 60 days before the end of a previous phone purchase (e.g. month 10 of 12 using it) to transfer over to the new phone prevents this from happening, otherwise it just adds service days and I lose all the minutes/texts/gb. And Tracfone systems and support keep going downhill often requiring you to call or chat for an hour to fix simple issues of it not honoring things even when purchased directly on their own web site.
Note: This is my experience for a "home" phone that replaced landline for cheap continued service and linkage to in-house cordless phones, not a "real" carry with you cell phone--I'd never use these crappy low end phones for anything more than a phone call or random MFA text. Most need rebooting every few weeks to free up consumed resources just sitting there (yes, non-smart Flip phones are way better that way than these old slow bloated smart phones)
Primary use for these is to harvest the service. I've been doing that for years.
