Yes, crappy phones, this is mainly for service harvesting. For $50, you can get two years of Tracfone service, and you use the service on your favorite phone with a BYOP sim or esim.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/287505854589 - Moto G Stylus 5G 2024 w/ 1 year plan, maybe the best phone per dollar device they have on sale that comes with a future unlock date
For the phone itself, the A03 is not terribly useful as a daily driver. Maybe only for calls and texts. A phone of last resort. Apps will be laggy. Used one myself a few years back.

Thanks for finding the $60 plan! I thought that was gone for good! Repped!
purchased 4 Flippy about 6 months ago. first one on Father's would not work directly on web, but did fine with the ai chat system initially and regular online to go back to the orig phone. all others have worked online including mine which got done July 2/4 (about a month ago). This being TF...i'm still gonna say ymmv.

How do you harvest?
When activating the phone, select that you want to transfer your existing number. The minutes/texts/data/service time in the bundle will be added to the existing balance when the service is transferred to the new phone. Wait a day, and repeat with the second phone. If you want to go back to your original phone, then wait another day, and reactivate that phone.

One activation I did a few months ago didn't work online (kept telling me there was a problem and to try again later), but worked fine using the automated phone system. It seems the online system craps out for some reason sometimes, but the other methods still work.

I had same about a month ago. One out of 5 had to use IVR.

Use the existing phone and text TRANSFER to 611611, it will confirm and ask for new phone IMEI, once complete check balances on account. After about 10-15 minutes, do the same on the new phone via text and it will move back to the original phone with combined balances. Just did it yesterday.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/287503823650 - $60 365 day plan. This is probably most useful for unlocking any TF phone after 1 year of activation.
