Tracfone offers numerous deals exclusively through its eBay store. After reviewing them, there are a few that really stand out including a plan bundle deal on a Nokia G300 5G with one year of service for $129.99. There are other phone bundle deals similar to the Nokia G300 5G deal, including a $59.99 Moto G Pure and a $59.99 Moto G Play. Important Update: Tracfone has changed the status of these bundle deals to include used phones instead of new.
The service plan is the same for all three phones and includes one year of service with 1500 minutes of talk, 1500 texts, and 1500 MB of data. Once data reaches the 1500 MB total it is hard-capped for the remainder of the year. However, talk, text, and data top-ups are available.
Nokia G300 5g Specifications, And Is It Really A Deal?
The Nokia G300 5G regularly goes for $149.99 on the Tracfone website and the 1500 annual service plan is normally $125. So if you buy the bundle on eBay for $129.99, the total savings for the bundle deal is $145, and that sure looks like a deal if you are a Tracfone fan. However, as Dennis Bournique of Prepaidcompare.net points out, this bundle deal is even cheaper through HSN, where it is selling for $99.99.

In the case of all three phones, customers will receive a new phone, with the service plan already loaded into the phone and the SIM card installed. The plan renews after one year at the refill price of the customer's choice. The bundles also comes with a 10W car charger and a case for the phone is included.
Shipping is free with each phone.
The best deal here is probably the Nokia G300 5G, as it is the only phone that can hop onto a 5G network, and it has the best specs overall.
Tracfone uses the T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon networks for service. Verizon bought the Tracfone brand last fall. The phones will likely ship with a Verizon SIM. If used with a Verizon SIM, the phones are eligible to be unlocked after 60-days of service.
“… includes one year of service with 1500 minutes of talk, 1500 texts, and 1500 MB of data. Once data reaches the 1500 MB total it is hard-capped …”
Calling this meager allotment “one year of service” is like calling my eight-pound kitty “a member of the jaguar family”.
Tracfone/Verizon should be spanked.
Another option for the Nokia G300 is eBay TracFone store, phone only (no plan bundled)
$150 – $30(coupon code TRACFONESAVE20) = $120
No plan, no case, no car charger.
