I don't know if I want to waste my time with these crappy empty SIMs again! I have better luck with Tracfone phone bundles that locked for 60 days.

Price should be $40 or less for this to be a deal. Also Verizon only which is probably the worst of the three?

Verizon now owns all the Tracfone companies, won't have any choice soon.

Agree on effects of Verizon ownership, since these 'discounted' SIM offerings for T-Mobile & AT&T phones cost $12 more than 'discounted' Verizon-compatible SIMs.

At the moment it's the cheapest price for a one-year extension plus time etc. on Tracfone. Although I should have noted it's $60 for AT&T and T-Mobile. At $4 a month for phone service - that's still cheap.

Also with the new owners, Verizon, perhaps the ultra-cheap deals are over.

I don't get the comments here. What in the world is wrong with Verizon and how is $48 for a year of service with 3 GB not a deal for Tracfone? I won't buy, since we just got a year with a new phone, but would be happy to find a deal like this when I need to add data or service time to the phone.

I agree. I think some people are just grumpy. ;-)

Does the code for the plan get sent separately or is it attached to the sim? I use these when I travel back to the us, but already have a sim w/a number I'd like to keep.

tried two month ago, won't work for extending existing service, has to be new activation, so I end up return it for refund, but has to go through Ebay. Because service was very bad, hard to find people to solve the problem.

Might be because a good percentage of these are empty sims. There are hundreds of complaints on SD going back 3 years & no one has ever fixed the problem. It's YMMV if it works.

I agree, this is pretty decent deal if you need the 1 year service and 3gb data (usually $10 per 1gb) is pretty decent since most of the plans only give you 1.5gb, I have had no issues with tracfone, very easy to move the plans over to your phone on their website. Bought the Moto E and LG K31 Rebel with bundle plans. Tried using both, did not like either so I ported both plans onto LG Journey. I have 2 more years/10gb data but the data and year service extension is worth it for me. Might buy 1 or 2 of these soon.

Yeah - I hope Verizon fixes this. We shall see.

One difference on this deal from the most-recent one like it on Ebay is that in this one Tracfone says it will accept returns within 30 days - buyer pays. Wasn't so for the last Ebay offer like this. Having said that, who wants to return a SIM card? And Ebay always stepped in when Tracfone wouldn't accept a return. Maybe Ebay told them they won't keep doing that.

There is no separate code. But if you mean "a number I'd like to keep" - if that means your telephone number, you can keep your phone number with the new SIM.
