I am currently using BYOP on PAYG plan.
Do you suggest buying this phone which is smartphone only ?

How far can you go on the 1500/1500/1500 and 365 days that comes with it (added to what you transfer)? Sooner or later, when old stock runs out, all phones available will be the Smartphone only Plan phones. The Smartphone only plans will fit many people quite well, especially if you upgrade every year with a phone bundle. You have a BYOP, do you think this Tracfone is equal or better or do you plan to SIM swap (Verizon nano SIM)? There have been some better deals if the bundled airtime i9s your main objective.

Verizon makes it more difficult to do something with a phone you have SIM swapped from, since they require a phone`s IMEI on activation of a SIM, thus making AT&T a better fit for SIM swapping maneuvers. There are a lot more details to go with what I have just said, unless your have a lot of experience on the subject. As the years have passed Tracfone complexity has advanced along with their offerings.

I would suggest the Verizon prepaid Moto E4, available from Walmart for $40, or from US Cellular for $20 if you are in their sales area. I will refer you to the following HoFo thread to do some reading, rather than me trying to relay all the details. I believe you will find this phone very interesting for its ability and pricing.

Thanks.
Hopefully I’ll find a deal on MotoE4 on Black Friday

Maybe @tracfancier be able to shed more light on this.
AFAIK the phone is “hard locked” and therefore very difficult to unlock yourself.
The only way is to ask Tracfone for an unlock code.

I have been following your advice for many years and have successfully got onto dumbphone to smartphone glitch and also been able to do BYOP with your help to currently have an AT&T SIM in my unlocked Windows Phone Lumia 640. Prior to that I had Verizon service on FREE LG Fuel (all courtesy to you).
However, I am getting bored with my Lumia 640 and was thinking of swapping my SIM to an android phone.
IIUC this phone is not the right one based on your suggestion.
Due to dumbphone to smartphone glitch and various refill card deal/glitches, I currently have:
Minutes: 2400
Text Messages: 4000
Data (MB): 4500
Service End Date: 2021

LG Fiesta 2 5.5" 16GB, 2GB ram, Android TracFone with 13MP Camera, Case, Car Charger, App Pack and 1500 Minutes, Texts and Data with 1 Year of Service

Sign up for their emails and get $25 off 50 coupon that can be used on this deal (must use an email not used on HSN previously)

Thanks tracfancier & NotYourMomma

I am unable to figure out how does “XFINITY WiFi Hotspots app” actually works on a non-XFinity Mobile branded phone.
I installed it and logged into my account but all it does is show the hotspots and only connects to " xfinity hotspots" as compared to “XFINITY hotspots”?
What am I doing wrong here?
