Instructions from @wordage:
I can confirm what @dreamwarrior and @duluthgeek have been saying. I have an existing unlocked smartphone that I was using via Tracfone's BYOP program. It was using a TF AT&T SIM. I am pretty sure any other TF SIM (i.e. Verizon or T-Mobile) would work, too, but the transfer process may take a little longer (see step 7 below). Anyway, I received an AT&T-only SIM (no separate one year card) from Grand Prairie, TX today, and here are the steps I followed to transfer from my preexisting TF AT&T SIM, and maintain all the existing data/minutes/texts, while adding one year of service plus 3GB data + 1200 minutes + 1200 texts that are associated with this new TF AT&T SIM.
1.) go to Tracfone website (https://www.tracfone.co
2.) click the "Activate" tab towards the top of the page
3.) choose the "I'M BRINGING MY OWN SMARTPHONE" option, and then choose "YES" for the "ACCEPT TERMS AND CONDITIONS" popup that appears
4.) at the "Do you have a Tracfone SIM card?", choose the "YES, I ALREADY HAVE ONE" option, and enter the full number of your new SIM starting with 89014, then click the "CONTINUE" button
5.) at the "Do you want to keep your current phone number?" screen, choose the "YES" option
6.) at the "SELECT THE NUMBER YOU WANT TO KEEP" popup, select the telephone number of your phone of interest (see step 1 above), and then hit the "CONTINUE" button
7.) you'll end up at a "Phone Upgrade Request Submitted" screen that gives instructions about waiting for your existing SIM to deactivate, then shutting down the phone, putting in the new SIM, and starting up again; hit the "CONTINUE" button to proceed
8.) you'll end up at a "SUCCESS!" screen, woo-hoo, you have completed the process!
At that point, I shut down the phone, pulled the old SIM, inserted the new SIM, and woo-hoo, everything worked. Indeed, when I checked my balances for that phone on the Tracfone website, they had been immediately updated--I did not even have to wait 15 minutes.
I note that since I was already using a TF AT&T SIM, the transfer process was essentially instantaneous (even though the messages on the screen in step 7 above suggested it could take up to two business days). If I had been using a Verizon or T-Mobile SIM, I suspect the transfer might have taken longer.
Anyway, in the long run, if you have an existing Tracfone, and simply want to add a year of service + 3GB data + 1200 minutes + 1200 texts, this is a great deal for $40 + tax. And do not be worried about not getting a separate one year card!

BUYER BEWARE! Fraud ALERT Tracfone is sending out SIMs that are not pre-loaded with plans/airtime. You might as well throw $40 out the window. Good luck getting a refund.

I too received empty SIM not pre-loaded and no airtime card/PIN was received. Tracfone customer service is useless and just demanded I buy airtime with a credit card and would not listen that I bought a plan and not just an empty SIM.

I did it online
It's automatic when you choose to keep your number. They deactivate the sim associated with your old number. Just keep the old sim in until it stops working
I've already ordered one without selection. If I get the ATT sim, and I follow your procedure to switch over to ATT network, can I switch back to V network with an unactivated V sim from TF? I ordered one before that came with all three network sims and a pin card. I used the PIN to add balance to my account already. But the three sims are still intact. Can I use the V sim from that package to transfer everything back to V network after switching to ATT sim that I ordered this time?
Yes it should work, but you should wait a couple of days before activating the 3rd sim

I saw that they were on sale earlier this week so I ordered two more... same exact ebay item number, in fact it said "You've purchased one of these before...". I get them today and I've got two GSM-only SIM kits that say they don't come with plans.
Even if the plan is attached to the SIM, this is a bait and switch for sure. I can't use these in my phones (they would work, but we have almost no GSM service here so we use Verizon SIMs), and from past experience there is no way I'm going to be switching my account back and forth to different SIM cards hoping to get what I paid for without losing what is already on my account.
What a waste of time. I just hope they accept the return without wasting more time.
