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

    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

              you can only get it from your device and it creates a nasty catch22; you can only know if your device is supported if your already have the device.
