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It is very slow and outdated, running Android 11 with no recent updates, so it is best suited for calls, texts, or service harvesting rather than everyday app use.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.

however how can you reactivate your old phone(which might be much better than this older phone model) without adding/buying any new service plan? Every time when you try to reactivate your old phone, it asks you to add new service plan. It seems you can't transfer the balance back to your old phone without adding new service plan.
Activate -> Bring Your Own Phone -> I want to keep my number, etc
Yes reactivation by selecting existing number. Everything goes back on your old phone.
I find more comfort in doing it on the website PC.
Plus it also gave me a smooth process with esim - just enter the esim IMEI thats it. 5 minute tops.
The advice of energyx was right on....TRANSFER works beautifully.
About the going back to old BYOD, its seems like the old esim profile was already there, my case it was fast and reactivated quickly with my old minutes.

i honestly can't remember ever using a phone that is so slow to respond. even pushing the power button takes a second or two before the screen turns on, i keep turning it off because it repush the button thinking it wasn't registering. yikes.

And the A03 was released in late 2021 or early 2022.
