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"

I added the device to my account through chat, but I didn't see the 10k pending reword points in my account, do I have to activate it to get the pending 10k points show up? Thanks!

It was mentioned in an earlier post that if you don't see the points---don't activate it. I don't remember what they said to do but DON'T activate it.

Here is part of the post---
Check your account in TF app, the pending add-a-line bonus points should appear within 30 seconds once it was added (the agent would tell you that). You may need to close and reopen the app to see the points. After you see the points in the TF app, you may proceed to activate, either ask the agent or do it yourself in the app. (If you don't see pending points (whether the device was added by yourself or via chat) after 10 minutes, do not activate the new device. Remove the inactive device from your account, wait a day then chat with an agent to add the device back to your account.)

End of the year. It initially started with an August 10000 point bonus. Then it was extended to September. Then it was further extended for the rest of the year.

Not sure if the end of the year extension was trying to juice the new lines for new daddy Verizon to be happy with the acquisition.

No clue if it'll be extended even more.

Thanks. These Orbics seem very flakey. Seen some not even booting up. Well, good luck.
Glad I didn't bite when deal was first posted-I thought about it.
Thanks to everyone for sharing the headaches this product creates. I won't even think about it in future.

That makes sense. Your first rep had no clue what they were doing. Glad you got it fixed.
Reps at TF having no clue is an all-too-common scenario.

Bought the 2pack.
Got this for the 20k points, as well as the 1+1 year - 4 months to add on to my main tracfone line.

Given that the phone is crap, do I need to be able to power on the phone and activate for the above goals? Or can I still do it if the phones are duds?

I didn't activate it, removed the device from my account and asked agent to add it again through chat, but still no pending points show up, no idea what's wrong.

You won't need the phones for the next 60 days, but you might need them when you want to harvest the service. When combined service earlier this week, the agent wanted verification codes from both phones. They might let you authenticate by email, but they will start with asking for a text to the donor line.

I'm a current TF user, and an existing HSN customer. Can I have my wife create a new HSN acct and use the new customer coupon to buy this bundle, then add these phones to my existing TF acct?

Can I order two of these bundles to effectively get 4 years of service (using the activate one then another trick)?

also, if I want the 10k points I need to wait 60 days before merging? and if I don't care about the points I can just activate the second phone by transferring the line?


Can I "add a line" for 10k points, wait until it posts, then activate 61 days later? then on the next day merge the lines to harvest the minutes/time?

First question should be, will you get 4 Orbics that will boot ? But yeah, if you don't care about points or unlocking any of the phones. There's 60 day vesting and waiting period for those options. See the mini-guide in the wiki.

From my experience the 60 day countdown for the Add-A-Line points and phone unlocking begin the date when you activate.
