Q: Is the Unlocked Samsung A15 5g compatible on the T-Mobile Network (USA)?

A: I purchased mine from Samsung.com , but I can tell you that I use it on Verizon (Visible) and Tello (T-mobile) no issues. I'd assume "unlocked" here means the same thing as it does there.

Q: Compatible with Spectrum Mobile?

A: No. You can buy an unlocked Galaxy A34 or A54 phone that works with proprietary sim software but not the A15. I checked with them several months ago.

Q: I have my cellphone service with Consumer Cellular. Is this phone compatible with Consumer Cellular?

A: Consumer Cellular piggybacks off AT&T and T-Mobile, which ch are GSM networks. The A15 is a GSM phone.

Q: I need to know how many updates I will get with this phone, either OS or Security updates. Years? Months?

A: According to Samsung (http://tinyurl.com/4n3ty6ew), "Included with up to 4 generations of OS upgrades and 5 years of security updates, your Galaxy A15 stays up-to-date for longer." with the following caveat: "The OS upgrade and security update policies specified above are subject to change."

Q: How many physical sim card slots available?

A: Unlike most recent dual SIM phones, some versions of the A15 accept two physical SIM cards and some do not. Dual SIM versions use the Micro SD spot on the back of the SIM card tray so it is not obvious from casual observation. The obvious question is will a dual SIM tray give single a SIM version of the A15 dual SIM capability or is the firmware different. I wish Samsung would answer this question definitively. Samsung is losing sales by not promoting the dual SIM variant.

Q: Will this phone work on a prepaid Verizon account?

A: Salutations Oleman, thanks for taking the opportunity to ask us your question about the Samsung Galaxy A15. The advertised unlocked Galaxy A15 is compatible with AT&T, Boost Mobile, Cricket, Google Fi, H2O Wireless, MetroPCS, Mint Mobile, Simple Mobile, T-Mobile, Ting Mobile, Ultra Mobile, US Cellular, and Verizon. We recommend reaching out directly to Verizon to ask if this device would be compatible on a prepaid account under their wireless network. Feel free to reach out to Samsung Support if you would like any further assistance. We're always happy to assist you. Thank you for being a dedicated Samsung customer. - Debra

Q: Does this phone have NFC so I can use Google Wallet for Tap2Pay? The information given is not clear about this.

A: Yes. Previous models have also had NFC and I believe a wallet app (Samsung) is preinstallled.
