I. Wireless Service
II. Return Policy
III. Limited Warranty
IV. Unlocking Policy

Tracfone reserves the right to deactivate any phone for which there is no voice, text or data usage for a period of six (6) consecutive months for Smartphones and twelve (12) consecutive months for other phones. If your Service is deactivated, your Service can be reactivated by purchasing and adding an Airtime Card. Once reactivated, your phone may be assigned a new phone number. Airtime which remained unused at the time of deactivation will still be available if Service is reactivated within sixty (60) days from the deactivation date, otherwise any unused airtime will be lost.
https://www.tracfone.com/termsandconditions

How to Stack TF's Verizon SIM
- Adding the additional data (1500MB), minutes (1500), and text (1500) 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.com/), 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 (1500MB), minutes (1,500), and text (1,500) 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.


***** This may not work if your unlocked phone has even been activated on your Tracfone account. I did this and it did not add the service to the unlocked (never locked, bought as unlocked) phone that had been activated on TF a couple of years earlier, for only a couple of months. Chat agent said their system would not allow it. He had to manually do some sort of over-ride on their system to get it to work. (10/29/2021)

Your comment cannot be blank.

Featured Comments

The unlocking requirement is for 12 months of active use on Tracfone, plus 12 months of airtime purchase. (This can run concurrently.) The bundled plan qualifies as the 12 months of airtime purchase, but it still needs to be in use for 360 days before unlocking.
This may be of use to anyone that recently ordered at the $59.99 price (before coupon): link [hsn.com]



There was absolutely no hassle getting a partial refund and I was off the phone in around 30 seconds.
I have two of each.

Well mine came today and it has one of the worst screens I have seen on a phone, and I've had a lot of cheap phones. Grainy washed out fuzzy text. I will speculate Motorola which Is Lenovo speced this to a number of suppliers and this came from the bad batch people. Back it goes
I always use a site like phonearena to compare a prospective phone's screen resolution with my current phone's to level set expectations.

Moto E5: 282 PPI
Moto E: 271
LG Aristo 4: 295
Moto G Power: 397

Can I install the new SIM card in another TF phone and then the one year of free service will work on that phone?

Sim needs to be activated in phone it comes with (it's linked to phone IMEI) & stays with phone.
After activation you can switch service to another phone using different sim & it will work (FYI carryover service won't count towards unlock).

Have any of you found a working version of Gcam for this phone? Have tried many but the only one that works is the Gcam go greatness version. The pictures are decent in bright light but start to fall apart indoors.

The thing I got has a TN ish screen where if you move it microscopically in any direction everything shifts (the opposite of IPS). It doesn't seem like a manufacturing defect, but it does seem a batch of these were produced with this kind of screen. Oh well.

Based on some SDER comments here I'll do an exchange instead of return. If the replacement has the same crap screen I'll let you guys know

Can someone double-check / guide what I'm trying to do?

Goal is to use my unlocked iphone 6s with the included 1500 min/text/data plan, while leaving the moto E phone as wifi-only device (don't care to unlock)

1. Purchase Moto E phone + service for $30 (after applying the code)
2. Once received, activate/sign-up for reward and all: btw what can I do with this 8k reward points?
3. Buy another TF BYOD sim for $1 (amazon? TF website?), and contact TF to move activated service (in step 2) to this new BYOD sim card and put it into my unlocked (old) iphone 6s.

Sounds good. You can transfer your service online yourself too. With 8000 points you can buy data, minutes or texts. Buy the SIM HERE [ebay.com] if you'd like. Do not pay more than $1.
Someone may chime in they think you can just move the SIM. Its good to have a spare SIM kit around anyway.

ETA - Amazon has it for $1 too. [amazon.com]

FYI - If you activate a new phone the sim needs to stay linked to original phone for 60 days to get rewards, then you can move to another phone using the BYOP sim kit.

Target and Best Buy both have the sim in stock for local pickup for $1 at some stores if you don't want to wait.

Did you reactivate old phone or just put new sim in it? Need to officially reactivate old sim, not just switch (even though it might work for a while). If TF checks the IMEI & it does not match the new phone they can cancel your service since it's in the wrong phone. Haven't had it happen to me but have read of others getting notified to put sim back in original phone.
