these cheap phones are great to keep at in the car, at work, or in your bag just in case for emergencies. just remember to at least use them about once a month to keep them active else they could go inactive and then game over.

Yes. If you wait 60 days before transferring the minutes/airtime and haven't added 4+ lines to your account already, you'll also get 10k points per line. 20k points is worth much more than 120 (60*2) days of airtime, so that's usually the way to go (plus then you can unlock the phones and make them more useful as a donation if you just care about the airtime.)

This is essentially 20k points (2x Add-a-Line bonuses) on Tracfone for $30, 20k points gets you a $300 off coupon. That gets you multiple refurbished iPhone XRs you can trade in for a Pixel 7 or for Apple GC credit.

if you are brand new to tracfone dont forget to use a referral code for 5,000 points. then if you want to activate the other phone just add it to your account and get another 10,000 points. google "tracfone referral"

Quote from wealthisachoice :
So the best idea is to activate 2 of these phones with separate number then merge it into one of the main numbers and you have approx 1200 or 2400 minutes per line added to your main line(s)? yes
Quote from wealthisachoice :
It's still easy to set up new phone lines and then transfer cancel and transfer to main phone lines?
That's relative... not as easy as before VZW bought Tracfone but typically only takes a few minutes to do through their chat, typically being the key word though.
Quote from iyg :
I don't think this is true. At least it doesn't happen to the 3 phone # that I am using.
Lots of reports of it happening. Don't know why some are able to do it.
Quote from MidwestMomma :
How do I know if my current phone (tracfone) is CDMA?
When did you buy it? What's the model #?
Quote from MusicShark :
Would this phone work on Verizon postpaid after unlocked?
Yes, VZW bought Tracfone and is slowly changing Tracfone to VZW only.
Quote from TracFoneAniya :
You kindly contact our Customer Service and let them know what is going on
Why are you impersonating Tracfone employees?

Hi there, do they charge tax let's say if the phone is $100, I have a coupon for $100, will my order be $0 or do I need to pay taxes on the $100? Also, can I purchase 2x$50 phones in the same order to use my $100 coupon? Finally, if plan is not required for my phone purchase, what's the best way to unlock them? Can I use my existing tracfone number sim and use it in the new phone for a day and after 60 days will it be unlocked? Tia

As new customer, I can only get 15k points, right? If I purchase another set from HSN, I can get another 20k points? Then I can use the points to buy an iphone?
14,000 points = $150 phone discount. Cheapest iPhone right now is $95 + $10 required plan. You're right if you bought 2 bundles the 2nd bundle would be 20k points total.

I thought Tracfone went away from ATT network 2-3 years ago. How can you still be on it?
I think you should be able to merge and keep your minutes. You can chat with them to make sure.
With a BYOD TF sim pack (T-Mo, Verizon, At&t) you can activate Att no problem.

I'd think tax and 911 fees are state dependent. But no tax or 911 fee for me. Yes you can buy multiple phone with 1 phone coupon. Fill this out to unlock [tfwunlockpolicy.com]. For the phones you get with the coupon, yes you can activate it on your current line and unlock it after 60 days, it's treated as a phone upgrade on the line.

Change your current line to VZW and them merge with a bundle. If you're using a Tracfone phone, not BOYD, then Tracfone should've offered you a free VZW phone. Yes VZW is CDMA.
No, VZW will terminate your account.
A simple phone call to TF c/s and yes, one can remove the sim and put in another TF branded phone, a TF family phone (PagePlus, StraightTalk, Net10) and certainly an unlocked phone. I do it often.

Thanks, to unlock I do need to activate the phone correct? What's the cheapest easiest way to make it eligible. Don't want to pay another $20 for a one month plan when I can get a 1 year bundle for $15 from this deal

If you're asking about unlocking the HSN phones, just fill out that form after 60 days. If you're asking about the point redemption phone, then once you receive it, activate it on 1 of your HSN lines and wait 60 days. It'll be processed as a phone upgrade on the line.

It would also add the minutes that weren't used and 300 plus days to your main phone(s)??
I'm really after adding minutes and time to my main phone at a reasonable price.

If somehow cut off, you can load a FCC complaint to remind us of your problem so that we can correctly get on top of the issue because we want our customers so satisfied that they would spread Tracfone to other contacts of theirs!
I have spent over 2 hours with Tracfone customer service and I still do not have my 20,000 points from adding 2 lines.

Thanks again, yes point redemption phone unlock is what I want to know. How do I "activate it on 1 of my HSN lines"?

Activate HSN line 1 with a top tier referral code to get 5,000 points. Use your own Add A Line to get 10,000 for the 2nd HSN line. Wait 60 days for points. Redeem points for phone. Optional unlock and combine HSN lines 1 and 2 if you want. Activate the redemption phone [tracfone.com] on HSN line through your Tracfone account.

Good luck if they didn't get credited automatically, eventually you'll probably give up, if youre lucky they will credit some other amount (5-6K). Rewards system registers new line activation's randomly from my experience and so far from 4 lines I had to fight for two of them before giving up on it and wasting my time (I tried corporate center option but it was same people from India with no idea on how to fix the problem and just telling me to either get "call back later" from them which never happens or even if it does I just get kicked around the different "departments" until call gets disconnected.
