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].

- 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.

Different people have different need.
Some may use this plan for young kids and elderly parents, some may choose to use it because they constantly has WIFI access. Some just use it for Andriod Auto with a backup phone. Moreover, Tracfone allows you to pick Verizon, ATT and TMobile network, which is a plus. Their reward system is kind of nice too.
I remember the same plan sold at $20 last year right before christmas, I think that was an excellent value. I hope tracfone sells the same or slightly less plan for $20 this year.
Regarding customer services, I heard the chat agent was ok. For me, I never needed to deal with it and I have setup everything online.
Hope that helps.

They don't get it. And TracFone has horrible customer service.
