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

100 minutes a month is more than sufficient for a lot of small businesses that do this. And of course you can add additional minutes to the Tracfone plan if you run low.
Or even a small team in a large corporation.
For a shared device that changes hands every week, and receives very few calls, a flip phone meets our needs far better than a smart phone. Everyone still has their personal smart phone.
Is hotspotting permitted?

Correct statement is (I did two last night, see my post below), you throw away the old sim and start using the newly activated sim. You should see your year is extended immediately, but minutes/data will take about 15 minutes to show up (combined with old balance). Reboot your phone with the new sim a few times if you are bored waiting.

Now my question is, my phone is a Tracfone locked phone (Acatel flip) with a Verizon Sim good into 2023. I have 2 more preloaded TF AT&T sim cards. Before I activate these two AT&T sims and add more time and balance to my account, I would like to know if there are tricks/risks if I move to an unlocked compatible Moto phone (G7 Power) with the AT&T SIMs?
Any tips would be appreciated,

I can use plans like these also for things that require additional phones to replicate those "1 per number" coupons, deals, offers via texting, when other alternatives like GV won't work. Also a nice alternative for selling locally via CL or FB Marketplace. Easier to ignore creeps if they try to bug you.
These things may not apply to you, but since you asked...
HTH!
