How to Stack TF's Verizon SIM
- Adding the additional data (3GB), minutes (1,200), and text (1,200) on the new TF Verizon SIM to an existing TF Verizon account (number).
- First, you would need the IMEI of an unlocked Verizon-compatible phone (You do not necessarily need the physical phone).
- Turn off your current phone and replace the old SIM card with the new TF Verizon SIM card.
- Go to TF's website (https://www.tracfone.co
m/), sign on to your account, and click on the [ACTIVATE] button. - Choose [I'M BRINGING MY OWN SMARTPHONE]. Accept [ACCEPT TERMS AND CONDITIONS] => [YES].
- Do you have a Tracfone SIM card? Under [YES, I ALREADY HAVE ONE], enter the ICCID of the new TF Verizon SIM card, and click [CONTINUE].
- Please enter phone's IMEI or MEID => enter the IMEI of an unlocked Verizon-compatible phone, and click [CONTINUE].
- Is your device currently active with another carrier? Click [NO].
- Do you want to keep your current phone number? Click [YES], and select the number you want to keep from the dropdown box, and click [CONTINUE].
- If everything goes through properly, you should see the message: "Your request has been submitted. Your phone number transfer may take from a few hours to up to two business days to complete." Click [CONTINUE]
- Again, if everything went through properly, you should see the message: "SUCCESS! Thank you for your business!" The service end date would show additional year added.
- You can now turn on your phone.
- Wait for a couple of hours or overnight, and check your account. The additional data (3GB), minutes (1,200), and text (1,200) should already have been added to your account.
- Now you can put your old SIM card back into the phone, and put away the new SIM card.

You're on this exact plan already
You buy the same carrier compatibility you're already on
Meaning if you already have a line that was activated with the 365 days / 1200 txt / 1200 min / 3gb plan, you can stack these sims to add another year plus add additional 1200 / 1200 / 3gb to your allotment. I had a line with about 18 months left and ~2000 texts and minutes and 5.23gb data left and was able to extend by 2 more years and now have ~4400 texts and mins and 11.23gb data allotted until expiration in Oct. 2024.
Pretty sure if you attempt over a different plan, it won't stack, you will forfeit what you already have, and be moved to this plan, so I wouldn't try. It's been mostly covered in previous posts for this deal, and how to stack was in the wiki. For me with AT&T, it was easy as logging in, clicking on the activate button at the top menu, selecting I Am Bringing My Own Smartphone, entering in the NEW sim card number (the one you buy from this deal) under I Have a Tracfone SIM Card, continue, and select your current number under the drop-down. Once you're finished, follow the instructions (once service drops out of your current phone, turn it off and swap in the new SIM card, turn back on, and test). At this point I waited until the account portal actually reflected the extended service date and airtime allotment (min, txt, and data - which in my case, even last time last year, it will get activated but not quite add the additional airtime and data for a few additional minutes to an hour). Only then did I proceed to stack the next SIM out of an abundance of caution.
I think VZW had different instructions. Go search for the older Tracfone threads, and those instructions should either be in the wiki or pinned somewhere.

will a tracfone verizon sim work in it?
I wonder if they fixed the issue. Hesitant to try again.
BUT.... it seems you do get your referral points if you use the Tracfone mobile app instead of a web browser when entering the referral code.
There's a reddit thread with people posting their referral codes. Be sure to get a recent referral code (dated today if you can) and one that will get you the full 8000 points.
I then spoke with 2 chat reps, TF called me twice, and I was escalated up to a "manager" twice - no one could get me the minutes or exp date...
I gave up after 2 hours and asked ebay for a refund...
Now I am left trying to figure out how to get my exp date extended - I have lots of minutes - I will probably just buy 365 day extension....

edit: Yes, according to an article I just read, it will happen eventually. And this includes Net 10, Walmart wireless, Sraighttalk, etc.
Edit: this is close:
https://www.bloomberg.c
"The acquisition of Tracfone … will provide more U.S. consumers seeking value wireless
plans with improved experiences and enhanced services, including fixed
wireless residential broadband solutions, 5G access and expanded international
calling and roaming options."
Sounds like you gotta use their network before too long.

Do points expire ?
Does the bought GB expire ?
Can you port a number over to the SIM later?
I want to port my home number to the SIM, and then port over to Google Voice.
