Same update for the 5th SIM. All lines ported out.

Tracfone acct num for a given line is last 15 digits of the SIM card, but the acct PIN is the same if they are all under the same account, correct? Thx
For AT&T and TMo sim cards - yes, last 15 digits of the sim card. PIN is the same for all the lines under the same account. And btw, you can change your password too, it's in the same menu as setting up/changing PIN: Account->Manage Profile tab->Login Information ->Edit (Green circle with pencil incide).

I can place my Verizon SIM in the LG Tribute Empire phones I have and they will make phones calls on the Verizon network with no issue.

Internet, however is very unreliable with the Verizon SIM. Might just need to update the APN.

So I would believe that these phones at a minimum would work fine on the Verizon basic service with no data.

If they wont activate your new Verizon service, get a dummy IMEI to get service/account started and then put the SIM in the LG anyway and boot up and go.
Thanks for the info.

Thx. Somehow it didn't like my password...it doesn't tell me the password requirements. Poorly managed site. So I kept it as is.

I was able to add all the remaining 3 lines to my acct.

Add the devices after they have been activated and not before. If you add the sim without activation, it doesn't seem to activate later on. U have to ask cust service then to activate and port in the number.

Hopefully, visible will change byod offer back to $100 soon.

Did you try sending a text APN to 611611?
Or try checking this page: https://www.tracfone.com/apn

Thx. I tried those things already.

SMS works.

MMS is messed up. I can receive MMS from all my other tracfones. 2 of them cannot send.

Only Moto E6 can receive MMS from other carriers or GV.

The other 3 android devices are sprint branded unlocked devices. They had MMS working on Sprint. Anyway, just curious as to why it is not working.

When does your bill cycle start each month? The 9th to 8th of next month or the 10th to 9th of next month? I

For those bfg reversed $625 or some other amount to $0.05, are we taking any action other raising ticket with bfg where they sent standard reply that sprint has not paid them.

I think we should create a list of all those accounts and keep following up with bfg. We can prepare Google share sheet or collect data using google form.

Any thoughts?

What make/model are the Sprint phones that don't have MMS working?
The Moto E6 has all the LTE bands for AT&T, T-mo, Verizon, Sprint. It also turns Data on/off automatically for MMS. With some phones, they will turn Data on/off automatically for one carrier but not the others. Did you try manually turning on Data before sending/receiving an MMS?

I made a BBB complaint but they just regurgitated the same response that Sprint can't cover their commission.

They also said that their Terms & Conditions state that if the retailer doesn't pay them, they have the right to cancel the CB.

My response to them was that it still doesn't explain why some that ordered in April 2020 got paid while others didn't. It seems that they paid out the smaller amounts first, which is some BS.

I'm actually not expecting anything to change. It's unfortunate and sucks for us, but I don't know what else can be done.

It appears that most people who got bf cashback changed to $0.05 was from $625. Were there any reports of $400 changing to $0.05?

I got $400 either June 30 or July 1 but still waiting for them to send virtual visa since 7/7 request.
