Yes. But it is slow and glitchy

I suppose the plan itself is worth it as a spare/emergency. Phone itself even if it was new is not worth much. It is slow and camera is terrible.

It seems like you can; if the other device is locked to TracFone or unlocked

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

Can't believe how backwards several people have this deal (saying the plan is worth it/the phone is not).
THE PLAN - 1 comparison
If you want a backup plan go to ebay and get the $30 red pocket plan - for $30 (total, not per month) you'd get 360 days of unlimited talk & text + 200 mb/month.

THE PHONE - a comparison

Sure it's not going to replace a flagship phone. But people looking at this ate probably replacing something like a 2023 Mototola Moto G play that's no longer getting updates.

The A16 has software support until 2030.

The A16 has 4GB+ RAM / 128GB+ storage (vs. 3GB/32GB)

The A16's screen is larger, brighter & will respond better to touches.

A16 Cameras: 50MP main + 5MP ultrawide + 2MP macro (vs 16MP main + 2MP macro + 2MP depth) Front: 13MP (vs 5).

The A16 has 25W fast charging (the Moto does not).

The A16's processor is 2.6-3 faster
Or in benchmark scores:
Moto 200,000 pts.
A16 550,000 pts
S26 2,800,000 pts

So the gap between the A16 & flagship is huge. BUT the 350,000 pts between Moto & A16 will be noticeable - going from noticeably laggy to competent for everyday use. And it's not like the Moto won't take pictures, download & play audibooks & podcasts, browse the web or stream youtube or Netflix.

Heavy OS matched with a light SoC. What could go wrong?

It's IP54 rated, limited dust resistance, water splashes, but not submerged in water.

For people want to get this: you can try to create a auto buy for this, I got one last time with auto buy.
There is one "auto buy" button on the item list page.
