Don't be so rude. That was why I asked.
This is correct. Tracfone is only for light users. With Google Hangouts and WiFi, one can still can get a lot done with this plan.
All depends on your usage. personally I use most of my data on wifi so I would rather have 3 GB to use over a year instead of 250 mb a month where I might only use 100 mb one month and the next I need 1 GB for traveling.

The "I'm not sure" option is now sold out. Was that the only option that came with the separate 365 card?

Edited to Add: Ah....I think I got what the previous poster meant when they mentioned they separated the listings. There's now a single one for the multi sim option.

listing #1 the original listing - where you select carrier

listing #2 added later - apparently it comes with SIM`s for all 3 carriers = Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile

Those who got their via Fedex did they require a signature for the delivery?

Edit: On another forum someone said no signature required. I'll go with that answer unless someone here had a different experience.

Edit: I selected t-mobile when ordering. No signature required upon delivery.

I just got my Fed-Ex package and it is ONLY the sim card. Ummm wtf?! The packing slip inside says "TF byop mini sim pack gsm p5". Nowhere on my packing slip does it mention the PIN card that I'd use to add the voice, text and data services to my new account. I'm absolutely certain I bought the correct item on ebay that was linked in this deal post.

Has anyone else had this problem? Is the PIN card going to arrive later? ebay doesn't show any other packages coming for my order. Help plz and many thanks in advance.

Contact them ASAP. I bought a phone with extra time once & card wasn't there (later found under flap of box), they added it manually over the phone.

I wonder if some people are getting SIM's with the balances loaded on it instead of the separate card. If so, it can still be used but it just makes things more difficult.

edit:

There is a pic in the Description stating:

SIM card will be preloaded with the following service benefits
No physical service plan card will be present (in fine print)

so you don't need a PIN

I received sim pack only. No service pin. No pin under the cover. Printed on the folder "smartphone plan required for activation sold separately". I have sent message to ebay seller requesting pin.

Currently using net10 w/ At&t sim - and surprisngly my reception is poor. I've used straght talk w/att sim and never had any issues, same phone of course. I just came from mint (tmobile mvno) and net10 seems only slightly better; i did have several dead spots with mint, but it was bearable considering that it was only $15/month promo.

I would venture that if you chose 'i don't know' for carrier, you get a pin with the three sim cards. If you chose one of the carrier options, your sim card is preloaded.

This may also be why seller split listings, to try to minimize confusion.

mine just got delivered - as I had hoped "I don't know" orders get the standard $1 BYOP 3 sim kit along with the usual 2.5 x 6 paper card with the activation code. (BTW, the seller is Tracfone, this is just their eBay site).

EDIT#2
Apparently existing customers can swap this new SIM onto their existing plan to use the minutes that come pre-loaded. Very cool! Sorry for the misinformation. Learning a whole lot about Tracfone today thanks to you nice folks. Wave

EDIT#1
I ordered the t-mobile kit. For whatever reason this kit seems to be a pre-loaded SIM. Heads up to people who were needing the PIN card. Packing slip makes it obvious there was never any intention to include PIN card in my shipment. 90% sure this is a preloaded SIM.

end of edits.

OK this makes sense to me now because this is a promotion for an activation kit intended for new customers switching to Tracfone. So of course Tracfone is NOT going to include a physical PIN card. Since there is no PIN card you existing Tracfone users are sh!t outta luck if you bought this as a quick easy way to refill your existing account. By preloading the SIM Tracfone is making it more difficult, if not impossible, for existing customers to use this delicious promotion to reload an existing account. Very sneaky but it makes perfect sense from a business standpoint.

I am going to port my number to Tracfone in a couple weeks. If my SIM is not preloaded I will return to comment in this thread. Many thanks to the peeps who took time to reply, this deals community is wonderful.Applause

Not true, can still be used without any issues - you just go to your online account & swap to new sim with the included minutes, I've used BYOP sim kits to swap between phones several times, works the same way. That's why I ordered the "I don't know" option, was pretty sure it was the BYOP sim kit with card, gives more options.
