While in chat:
1) confirm with the rep that the sim card you bought has the proper minutes/texts/data
2) confirm with the rep what your existing account has for minutes/texts/data
3) ask the rep to add your new sim card stats to your existing account
4) while still in chat, make sure that everything was added correctly (can take a few minutes to update) ask the rep for the totals so that it's on the transcript
5) get the chat transcript and save it
This way if there's any question at all, you have the transcript to prove what you should have.
tl;dr Always use chat

Verizon requires the IMEI of the phone & usually these will not activate if phone is a locked Tracfone - you will need to activate using another (inactive) phone first then move sim back to the first TF IMEI.
There are hundreds of posts with lots of details for the previous sales of these (goes back over 2 years), search SD for Tracfone posts.
If using Verizon on current active locked TF - do not expect these to activate without using another phone. Also - there have been numerous customers that have received empty sims in the past, so I fully expect there will be some in this deal as well.
If you get an empty one contact eBay or TF to get refund ASAP, do not hold onto these without trying to activate, only 30 day guarantee.
