Good for GPS tracking. Take an old Android phone, download an old GPS SMS app (Google Play has banned most of them - so you'll have to find it on APK sites), and bury it somewhere behind the panels in your car.

Every two weeks, recharge it. Instant car lojack.

I buy this deal every year around the holidays.

Great idea, obviously you have nice cars. People that drive clunkers have no such worries.

Many old cars are easily stolen. I come from a blue collar existence and town. I know people who have had their clunkers stolen multiple times.

Even modern Kia and Hyundai cars recently have had their keyless starts broken.

The Redpocket 200/1000/200 per month annual plan for $30.00 will be a better deal for some but the T-mobile network can kill it.

this is when you wire in a hidden switch for the fuel pump, while they might get the car started, they wont get far before it stops. laugh out loud

I looked everywhere on tracfones website and couldn't find if their plans include mobile hotspot or not.

Anyone know?

I know last year THIS PLAN DIDNT support mobile hotspot.

I'm planning on using this service with an iPhone.

Thanks in advance.

I have an active Tracfone 1 yr plan expiring soon. Anybody know if I can use this to extend my plan for another year (similar to other thread) by activating this SIM and replacing the one I have in currently?

Can I transfer my current number onto this SIM during activation or is it only for new subscribers?

I was able to add this plan to my current plan/sim last year. Didn't have to change sims or anything. It was considers a "top-up" or addition or my current plan.

It also rolled-over all my texts and minutes and data for another year. So whatever I had left on my account before I "topped up" was added to this plan.

I called customer service to get it added to my current plan.

I DID NOT DO IT ONLINE.

Be aware, i bought this & had to jump through all,kinds of hoops to get them to add it to my already activated TracFone. They wanted to give me a refund, but i had already waited 3 months to activate it, so the refund period had passed & had to raise hell to get them to finally add everything to my current plan. I read a review where someone else had this experience on ebay, so i know it's not just me. Just wanted to share so someone else may avoid this horrible experience. If u already have an active TracFone number, it could be a hassle to get them to add it, because they say it's for new activations only.

It definitely depends on what representative you get. I did not have this experience. I had to activate the new SIM & they still didn't want to give me the things this came with,, claiming it was fkr new activations only & told me to get a refund. It was too late for a refund, so i kept complaining over 2 months & finally got them to add it. Definitely a huge hassle that i wouldn't do again.

While I may not remember it 100% correctly,

I KNOW FOR SURE I was able to get it added.

I MAY HAVE had to activate the new sim and transfer my account/number/minutes etc. over to this new sim. And then have them activate the new sim to my phone "marry them together" My representative was really helpful.

Full disclosure. I was already using a locked Tracfone phone, and was on this same 365-day plan before I added this plan to my current service.

Worst company ever when you returned your phone and didn't get the status. Customer service is worst.
