For those interested. The power bank is a Samsung 18650cell with attached charger. Easy shucked with 4 screws under the top label and pushed through the bottom.

Not sure if this procedure still works but I used it last year to extend my Tracfone another year, the mins/data were added on also. I took it from one of last year's tracfone deal threads. YMMV (especially if the sim card is not removable from the TCL phone)



How to Stack TF's Verizon SIM
- Adding the additional data (3GB), minutes (1,200), and text (1,200) on the new TF Verizon SIM to an existing TF Verizon account (number).

- First, you would need the IMEI of an unlocked Verizon-compatible phone (You do not necessarily need the physical phone).

Turn off your current phone and replace the old SIM card with the new TF Verizon SIM card.

Go to TF's website (https://www.tracfone.com/), sign on to your account, and click on the button.

Choose . Accept => .

Do you have a Tracfone SIM card? Under , enter the ICCID of the new TF Verizon SIM card, and click .

Please enter phone's IMEI or MEID => enter the IMEI of an unlocked Verizon-compatible phone, and click .

Is your device currently active with another carrier? Click .

Do you want to keep your current phone number? Click , and select the number you want to keep from the dropdown box, and click .

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

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.

Now you can put away your old SIM card


Edit : it looks like TCL phone has a sim card tray behind the battery. So I would take it out of the phone first (don't power it in case it gets activated) and follow the procedure above to extend a year of service.

Pretty good deal for a burner phone. Would have been better if it wasn't tied to the flip phone so people can add to their current accounts. But still good.

Flip Phone probably worth $10
Cheap powerbank $5
1 Year plan worth $15-20?

This is an outstanding deal! The 1 yr service plan is worth at least $40 up to $80 on its own. Combine this with the 8k intro referral rewards bonus and/or the 10k add a line bonus good until the end of September and you are definitely cooking with fire here!

Thanks OP. I looked at this yesterday and it was $40. Now I will get another 10,000 pts!
Spin the Wheel sucks. In the last two weeks I have only gotten Try Again Tomorrow and the restaurant.com crap. What a disappointment.

Same experience with spin the wheel! I bought 2 of these last time (like 3 weeks ago) which was the limit and another 2 just now

Where can we file for a divorce and maybe get half of the 1 year plan with a younger phone?

Does Tracfone still use Verizon towers? I have a long work commute, through different parts of Arizona, and I typically lose cell service (with T-Mobile), for about 20-30 miles of my 80-mile commute. So, I'm thinking that this would be a good backup/emergency phone to have in my car, if I were to break down or if I need to make a call/send a text, while in an area that my T-Mobile service is not working.

Edit: Does anyone know how long you have, to activate the Tracfone service, after buying it? Is there a specific time period (30 days, 6 months, 1 year), that the SIM card/service needs to be activated within?

I figured it came activated. If not this is pretty cool, can I leave this in my car for emergencies and only activate it then instead of keeping it active and wasting the year?
