Just brought one from HSN for 55.00 this morning with all the 1500 stuff.  I could read no reviews because there weren't any.

Does anyone here know about it?

Fortunitly, HSN gives till midnight to cancel.

Any info. would be appreciated.

I have a lot of minutes on my last tracfone from HSN from last June, but it  is OK.  Just this one would be cheaper than adding minutes to keep this old phone connected.

Thanks for any info or opinions.

Really can't answer any questions for you yet, other than our 2 phones arrived last Thursday. Mine expires on February 11th, so will set it up before it expires. 

My wife sets them up online and found that to be the easiest way to go through the process. She used her Tracfones as a backup to her Samsung S9(I believe that's right ). I seldom use or even turn on my cell phone, carry it only for unusual situations. Last time I used mine was to call her to tell her I was in the ER after ice skating.

I looked at the specs and saw nothing but positives in that regard. And for $60, which is $5 per month? Doubt it could be beat, but you say $55, so that's even better. 

My wife takes lots of pictures and videos using her high $$$ Samsung. She plans on using this and comparing as both have a 13mp main camera, but this one has 3 different lenses.

Wish I could tell you more, but for this price and the specs/features and the 1500 everything? I don't see how I won't be happy with this phone. My wife will be the real test however and I doubt she will regret making this purchase.

Thank you John.  My old one expires in March unless I keep adding minutes, but a much smaller screen and scratched.

If I go to Best Buy and pay around 60.00 they will extend it to one year, but this new one is cheaper.

I will try it and see if I can transfer pictures from it to new one.

I have a lot of minutes and text on old one, but I have to keep adding min. every 3 months to keep it extended, or like I said, go to Best Buy and pay more than the new phone cost.

Thanks for answering.

Google is always your friend for reviews. Go to google, type in this phone's brand and model number, and you will see reviews on the phone.  In addition, this phone is probably on Amazon, and you could read all the reviews there.  Here is an article about it.

Also, if you back up your phone to google one, your contacts, photos, apps, everything will transfer to the new phone. Go to your settings and check the back up setting.

My wife isn't around now but she left her Samsung Tracfone here charging. It is model A20, and looking in her "gallery" of pictures! She had to have transferred them from her high $$$ "S" series phone because some of them go back to 2019.

She just came in and I asked about the transfer. Since both her present phones are Samsung, she said they must have transferred automatically because she did not go through the process.

I know when she upgraded her high $$$ Samsung S phones, all she had to do was hold them together back to back, touching, and all the info on her older model went over to the new one.

She asked if your present Tracfone is a Samsung and I told her I do not know.

I did a search of Turk Forums (tracfone reviews) and only found one relevant item. 

This phone is worse than the Moto E of the quantities HSN sold out of before taking it down! This phone is best priced at $40 because it's an old folks phone that would rival consumer Cellular! Everyone is putting 5,000 milliamp batteries in their phones these days so really this phone is equal might be even less par as the LG k31 rebel! This is the successor to the LG k31 that takes forever to recharge! Better do your homework before buying this model!

Also a youTube video indicating the camera is bad, and if you don't want to do more than text or make calls it might be for you.  Old technology, slow

Yes John.  It,s the Samsung Galaxy A10e.

[qvcaddition]

I received the Tracfone from HSN.  Ordered the A02s, but the order slip says A02,  not the s.

HSN CS says that they only sell A02s.  I don't know whether to keep it or not because on utube it said the A02s was better than the A02.

I might just return the whole thing and be done with it.

@qvcaddition Google is really helpful in these kinds of situations.  I did a quick search comparing the two model numbers and ran across this article immediately.  If your phone has 3 cameras on the back, it is the ao2s.
