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"

Seems like an exercise in frustration and major time waster dealing with Tracfone. Not worth it for rewards.

Got it for my dad, he's paying 50 bucks a month to use a flip phone with att. This should save a ton of money over the next 2 years. Thanks all

So if I activate these phones with the rewards, I'll get 20,000 points and be able to get an iPhone for free?
How can you get iPhone? Which? How many points need?

Their phone service seems to work well (2 kid phones + senior phone), but they need to either try harder or get rid of their rewards program. They failed to give me 20,000 points that I earned in a recent new line activation promo.

From majority of reviews on these models on Verizon website it seems these are close to be complete junk (majority complain about battery life and longevity but there are other issues as well) as far as phone devices so he might not appreciate your kind gesture if it ends up being the case for him as well.

Quote from oskosk :
....... Yes VZW is CDMA.
No, VZW will terminate your account.
I think you may have scare people a little here. You are not wrong, but VZW "used to" use CDMA in 3G era! It is almost impossible to find any active CDMA band in the U.S. consider they will complete phrase out 3G band no later than.. well, in 2 months. ( I don't think there is any active Tmobile or ATT 3G band anymore )

I think instead of saying "VZW is CDMA", you can simply state...
as long as your phone has competible 4G LTE and 5G bands, you can activate any phone in VZW.
4G with 2, 4, 5, 13, 46, 48, 66 band
5G with n2, n5, n77, n66, n261, n260 ( of course, mmw is over-rated, you are not going to see these 2 bands outside of major cities where high rises.)

Oh.. and VZW and Tracfone did NOT terminate my account when I used the sim in unlocked Tmobile Oneplus 10 pro neither.

Look it up on YouTube. You can't put apps on it. Cute fit it's size. Refurb flip phones $10 on Tracfone.

Quote from purple :
I doubt this. I actually haven't used mine in 3 months and it's still active. It's still got minutes so why would it go inactive?
12 months for flips, 6 months for smartphones. It's in the T&C. Every few months to be safe.

Quote from SophieB :
Do I switch the sim cards or just reactivate the current phones?
Verizon does not allow SIM swaps. VZW will suspend your account if they catch you. Activate both HSN phones and transfer the balance to your current Tracfones. Wait 60 days if you want the rewards.

Quote from Hunting4Dealz :
Just use the chat on their website and choose the option for technical support?
Correct, just make sure you ask them to confirm the balance of all lines first before combining.


Quote from andrewdai :
I got the previous deal of $20 on flip phone. How many times i can do this 10k points by adding a line thing?
Quote from lesterhung :
for each TF account, how many lines can you have?
Only limit is you can only get points for 4 phones at a time. If you want to have 5 Add A Lines you have to wait until you get the points for the first 4 phones and then remove one of them from your account before adding the 5th.

Quote from stxyz :
so when combining 2 lines, not only min/data are stacked, service exp date is also extended?
Yes

Quote from desidude2000 :
plus getting 2 years out of that single line.
This is the only incorrect part, combining would only give you an extra 10 months since you had to use 60 days for the points.

Quote from 1453191819231991 :
I believe if you already have a line you dont have to wait 60 days. Just add both lines and get 10000 points for each

This also should suffice the 60 days minimum to unlock the phones.
Correct

Quote from TodayOnly :

Tracfone has all kinds of problems but actual coverage issues are rare.

Quote from Kheiri23 :
Can someone please explain how do you get the 10,000 points that everyone is talking about step by step

Quote from coreyfr :
I already added 4 lines and received 10,000 rewards for each. One phone as been deactivated. Will I still earn 10,000 if I add a new line?
Yes

Quote from kgiri247 :
Got it for my dad
The reviews for this phone is horrible. If you're actually using it then you might want to look for other deals on Black Friday or use the points to get a better phone from Tracfone's website.
