Q: QuestionIs the Unlocked Samsung A15 5g compatible on the T-Mobile Network (USA)?(3 answers)
A: AnswerI 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.Answered by MichealO
Q: QuestionCompatible with Spectrum Mobile?(5 answers)
A: AnswerNo. 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.Answered by passerby2
- A: AnswerConsumer Cellular piggybacks off AT&T and T-Mobile, which ch are GSM networks. The A15 is a GSM phone.

Q: QuestionWill this phone work on a prepaid Verizon account?(3 answers)
A: AnswerSalutations 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.

Answered by MusicLover
- A: AnswerYes. Previous models have also had NFC and I believe a wallet app (Samsung) is preinstallled.
Answered by passerby2
Q: QuestionHow many physical sim card slots available?(2 answers)
A: AnswerUnlike 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.Answered by Anonymous

Great beginner phone, especially for a teenager!
Bought this phone 6 months ago for my daughter for her first phone. The phone costs around $200, and it does everything she needs it to do. Great deal for a Samsung cell phone. She can call, text, get on the internet, play Limited games. And as her father I can control access through the Samsung Family app. Battery lasts 2 to 3 days typically.

Good phone
Phone is good but it was lagging when I first boot it up. It works great now. The only down side is the one speaker on the bottom
