I've read the entire thread but would like to be sure I have this understood...I have Tracfone and basically buy a new phone once a year. I get a bundle deal with 1 year service, and something like 1500 texts/calls/data (1 GB data or something), then I will buy 1000 texts for $5 and some data a few times a year. My year is almost up so instead of buying a new phone with the texts/data/service, I can buy this deal instead, right? I followed the link in the thread with the instructions on how to add this to an existing Tracfone...sounds like I will just have to replace the SIM card with the one I get from this deal.
Do I have this right? I'm just concerned b/c reading the reviews for this product shows some difficulty when activating and one person said not to do it if you are an existing Tracfone customer if you just want to extend your service (which is what I mainly want to do).
Thanks so much for any help and advice.
I have a Tracfone branded phone and I use the Verizon network and I have a Tracfone one year service card. I would like to purchase this current promo but will I have trouble activating it on my phone (Tracfone Samsung J3 Orbit). Thank you for your feedback!
I suggest screenshot everything beforehand. Also confirm with CS your total minutes, text, data, service days before letting them transfer everything over to your old account. I had one CS representative who didn't know what he was doing and almost replace all my old account's benefit with that of the new account's instead of aggregating them together. I had a lot of trouble previously with activating Verizon sim from these deals. Get a Verizon sim for a dollar and transfer with the help of CS if you really need that coverage.
I actually do the same thing with my dad's TracFone At&t service too. He lives in another state and cell phone illiterate. I activate the new sim as a new line and get CS to combine the benefits. That way I don't need him to exchange sim cards. I do everything in the background for him.
You don't need a new sim to unlock, if your original 1 year of service reached its end, even though the plan ends, you have grace days to request unlock. https://www.tfwunlockpo
Yes, definitely easier if your original verizon tracfone account was not a phone bundle, but a sim card account. Sim card to sim card rollovers happen easier online automatically. But if original plan was a phone bundle (HSN, QVC), then I don't think it would work, at least when I tried it with their support chat.
If you purchase new verizon sim card, it should activate new sim fine, but questionable whether your existing balance can roll over. Support chat gave me an option to only keep one balance. Once it's on a sim card account, then future sim to sim rollovers should add fine online without support.
I was hoping this SIM card would be a cheaper way to pay for a year of service than buying airtime for it. thanks for your answer though

Amazon has a sale on some Tracfone phones for Prime Day:

Can I put the SIM card from this thread's deal into one of the phones on sale for example:

No recent experience with Tracfone. Very light cell phone user.
Edit: Just saw the same question posted by @bpvh
1. Activate the service using the new SIM you choose.
2. To extend the service with another SIM from this deal, take the first SIM out and activate the second SIM, and transfer the number from the first SIM to the second. You should see all balances from the first SIM merged into the second SIM.
You should be able to switch between any providers as long as your phone supports their SIMs. All balances should carry over during the switch.
Can someone confirm if this is all correct?
