I bought one of these before it went on sale from the Tracfone Ebay store. The sim card did not come with any minutes, text, or data. Tried to communicate with at least 3-4 messages in a week's time and no response from Tracfone Ebay. Called Tracfone and they said to contact the Tracfone Ebay because customer service of Tracfone are unable to see the transaction. Then I had to complain to Ebay. Ebay tried contacting Tracfone Ebay, they also had no response from Tracfone Ebay, so Ebay refunded me my $50. I wont buy from them again from their Ebay store.

But that forces me to buy from Tracfone's own website, which about doubles-triples the price of this deal for a 1 year extension, or lose all my minutes.
Red pocket has way better deal on eBay for 12 month plan, every day.

$2.50/Mo Red Pocket Prepaid Plan: 200 Talk 1000 Text 200MB (per month)

And this is not only for new customers, you can always renew.

since verizon took over, tracfone went to shit completely.
I activated a new card to extend my service date, but they completely zeroed out my balance. They refuse to help. Now I have filed multiple complaints with BBB, FTC, FCC, FL attorney general office.
Tracfone did NOT respond, but decide to close my account, and someone else it on the process of porting my phone # out without my consent.

My Tracfone's yearly airtime is just about up, so this comes at the perfect time. Thanks OP.

EDIT: Crap, I just re-read the OP. New lines only.

Comments seem so confusing. We have a HSN 1 year included plan that ends soon.

I can't use this to extend the plan for another year? Doesn't even matter if the number is kept.
Get this bundle deal for $40 and transfer everything over to the new phone. If you rather keep your existing phone then transfer everything back from new phone.

Since only the Verizon sim is available, I hope that doesn't mean from now on Tracfone is not supporting AT&T & Tmobile sims anymore. But since they're now owned by Verizon, I could see a business case for them to not sell sims that work on competitor networks. Text-book anti-competitive move.

why say so (only Vrz sim is available)? In the item description the carrier is clearly identified as AT&T.

I don't know why you call this "better".
2.5*12=30 slightly better
200*12=2400 way worse consider it does NOT carry over or back.

The plan you're quoting is only for Sprint compatible T-Mobile phones. The regular Red Pocket plan that includes AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon is $60 per year.

This particular plan is Verizon only. If you notice, the card only shows the red US map. The Tracfone plan that is compatible with AT&T, T-Mobile as well as Verizon is $60 per year.

No. You must have an unlocked phone that is compatible with CDMA (unlocked iPhone) or old Verizon phone. This IS a bring your own phone deal.

Insert SIM in this phone. Then activate with a new number or port your old number to that phone.

After activation you can transfer the service time, minutes, etc. to your old phone. If you're goal is to use your old phone, then activate with a new number.

I had this same thing happened to me. Bought this deal. Didn't activate it for a couple of months. Literally maybe two or three and by the time I tried to I couldn't remember all the details. But basically I wasted the money because it wouldn't activate and TracFone support is an absolute joke

Valid for new Tracfone lines only (cannot be used for existing customer lines).

Is this new policy?

Before I always apply the balances to my existing account.
Where does it say Valid for new tracfone lines only ? Here is what it says on the ebay listing under the FAQ:

"Q: Do I need a SIM card with this plan?
A: You'll need a Tracfone compatible phone (which comes with a built-in SIM card) or Keep Your Own Phone SIM Kit to activate your service. If you already have an active Tracfone phone, all you need to do is add this your plan to your account by following the instructions on the card."

I was trying to use one from last purchase yesterday. It took forever. After one day, my phone still has not got the new minutes added yet.

Anyone has similar experience?

I had Redpocket on Verizon and they were fine for the first 7 months. But then I would start getting dead zones in the middle of New York City. In places where there clearly was service. Finally, I was visiting my mother and put my phone on the table next to her Tracfone Verizon phone. She had service, and I did not. Both using verizon lines. So there are clearly issues with Redpocket service. I spoke to a few people after that who had redpocket and a number of them had the same issue.
