Did you get an empty SIM? It's not physical good, can't they fix the issue?
I tried with Tracfone all they say is the sim is good but apparently there is nothing on it according to them, so why spend $30 for another sim?

Contact eBay & tell them not as described. Last time I got a refund when sims were empty.

When you activated, did your date move 1yr in time? I activated mine and I don't see the added time/data/txt yet, but the date moved out 1yr.

Takes a little more time to add/combine minutes, if the date changed you should be OK.

Hi,
I bought one of those Tracfone plus min/text/low data for 365 days about a year ago. Bought this $30 card to refill it.
Short story:
I basically had to call TF support and after 30 minutes, the rep was able to activate the new sim card, with my existing TF phone number, and my carryover min from 2019 were added to the new batch of 1200 min/1200text and 3gb data, with a new expiry date of 11/2/2021

Long story
The SIM Card install kit came in the mail, pretty quickly, but that was all there was. After a short attempt to login to my TF account, I just called the 800#. The rep asked for any additional PIN number or serial number that came with the card. None of the numbers that were in the package or the packing slip worked. The rep had to go offline to ask a "Manager" but came back and said he got the account setup. Took about 30 minutes, mostly of explaining the card, trying all the different numbers on the packing slip and then finally the rep asked the manager.


Good luck to all, I have a 2nd TF that I'm going to try and extend for another year as well, but I have to use a different ebay account, since ebay or TF won't let me buy a 2nd card through my account.

curious how long. my dates moved a year out, but it's been an hour and still no additional minutes. I went through chat support, they said there was a plan on reserve on the card, but i'm curious if it was just for the year.

Well I attempted to activate the sim and add to existing account using the steps outlined upthread. I got a message to call tracfone after I entered sim number.

This is an email I received from tracfonewireless On the other hand, we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause
you, and we hope for your understanding. Please be informed that this
item is not compatible for existing TracFone devices. This item is
designed for the activation of new BYOP (Bring Your Own Phone) devices
only. This is also the reason why the preloaded benefits failed to be
applied on your existing phone.

Huh? Did they just change policy since so many people said it could be done?

It's a form letter. Sim works with BYOP lines, AT&T/T-Mo. Only Verizon locked Tracfones are a problem if support won't help.
Originally deal included separate service card, but now it's only preloaded sims - which is a problem for locked TF.

Same thing happened to me. I called tracfone and the rep insisted they needed a pin for the min/tex/data to be applied. The sim was blank.

Thanks. I brought my own phone (not tracfone) for this deal. I selected Verizon as carrier because my phone supports all carriers. Should I expect problems when applying the second SIM?

just activate new sim like you did before, it will replace the one you have now.
