I only got tracfone service for cell is there any phones that go through them that can be rooted/degoogled? I cant delete my current account it sends a code to one of my 2 broken ones. So im planning to get a new one that i will never use anything that requires anything google. So i assume ill need it rooted for this. i use android and i don't need to keep cell service

Do you use a physical SIM? I’m fairly sure any carrier-unlocked phone will also work with your Tracfone service if you move the SIM over.

not if you're using a chinese branded phone

    O i just saw the part about chinese branded ill make sure to check the brands deeper. Im also thinking tablets might be easier to root ill stick to wifi based communications. I'll use the tracfone for a hotspot and use the tablet as the main device

    TracFone has a phone number you can use to see if your device is supported based on is imea.

    It said mine was supported. Lol

    By supported do you mean can be rooted or carrier unlocked?
