1. Turn off your current device.
2. Sign on to your Tracfone account.
3. Note down your current balances (MTD, service end date).
4. Activate the Nokia flip phone on the Tracfone activation page.
- Click [Activate] under "New Phone - One you've purchased through Tracfone."
- Select "I want to keep my number", and make sure to pick your existing line
- Enter the IMEI of the Nokia phone.
- Complete the activation.
5. Log out of your account, wait for 15-60 minutes and sign on again to confirm your updated balances.
Normally, I wait overnight to complete the next steps.
6. Re-activate your current device by following steps 2-5; however, in step 4 use IMEI of your current device.
Good luck!
You don't even have to turn on the Nokia device to complete the harvesting process. Easy peasy!

See here [nokia.com] for details.
Activate the phone first, then sign up for rewards with a valid promo code.
Use a top tier one that will get you 8,000 rewards points ($80 value) when you sign up. Most only will get you 5,000 ($50 value)

And as I understand it, no, this isn't just the same as supporting 4G/LTE. Phone needs to also support VoLTE protocol for calls, and more specifically whatever protocol Tracfone will be using.

Do you really want me to be mocked incessantly?

You are essentially re-activating your current device in step 5 since it was automatically de-activated in step 3.
I suspect if you have an unlocked device you can probably skip step 5, just swap the SIM card.

This means the phone will function as long as LTE is in service (for at least 10 years more).
It looks like it probably does (see guting reply directly above): https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_u...KN139DCG
It would still be nice to have a confirmation from someone using the Tracfone tool to check as, like I said, not all VoLTE is the same.
Flip phones are not so common nowadays, but there is definitely still a market for this type of product.

1. Comes with USB Type-C car charger in addition to wall charger.
2. You get at least $50 in Tracfone rewards points (if you sign up right after activation) to buy additional data/min/texts and service months. You can find a referral link online.
3. HSN listing site has a sales video (at 55 seconds) that says triple minutes for refills for life. It would be very nice if it is true. Note that if SIM is changed, no more triple minutes for sure.
4. Nice to have a Verizon phone backup in my car for travel to compliment my main T-Mobile MVNO phone in case of service coverage gap.
