Step One: Activate the TCL and click "I want to keep my number." After you finish the all the steps, the TCL will have your current number and service time added to the service that came with the TCL.
Step Two: On a different day, go into your Tracfone account. You will see your current device now listed as inactive. Click activate and "I want to keep my number" and that will move everything back from the TCL to your current device.

Then port over number. Because now you have a locked phone.
I am planning to give an emergency phone to our middleschooler. I do not have a tracfone account. I currently have a very recently unlocked total by verizon iphone SE 2020 for this purpose with a tel number. I was initially thinking of porting to usmobile or redpocket etc but this seems an even better deal. What are the best steps if I were to buy this plan but retaining the existing total by verizon number on the iphone? Do i first activate a new line with tracfone on the tcl device but indicating it will be a port in for my existing number. Then as i cant move the SIMs, via the online account add the iphone SE to the account and finally transfer the minutes to the iphone? I dont want to mess up so asking ahead. Also wonder if this is even feasible or practical?
thank you!
Also if anyone has a response to my original question of porting into TF and this plan, please reply. thanks

When you setup new tracfone phone line, it would ask you IF you want a new number or KEEP your current number.
Just be ready to provide your pin code and stuff from your current cell provider.
You cannot put TCL A3 sim in your iphone.
You will need to get a new tracfone sim. Look up amazon, bestbuy usually under $3. Then contact tracfone, tell them that you want to activate new sim on your current line.

Yes we will have to see how far the minutes go but i think it should be fine.

I know Sprint and Tmobile let you do online --> No need to contact customer service.
Make sure you buy 'bring your own phone' SIM.
It's important that you put the original SIM in the original phone until you get a game plan worked out for this.
Verizon might shut down the line while you're playing around with SIM-swapping.
tracfone SIMs seem to be tied to the phones themselves.

Btw, I would try to have the sim in TCL A3 for at least 61 days. You can unlock the phone for free.
Currently I have a TCL A3 and 2 moto g pure phones unlocked.
Thanks Verizon
Except HSN is totally screwing with me. First they said I didn't have account, then suddenly I did. Won't allow my billing and shipping addresses to differ, and when I got that straightened out, won't allow me to pay with Paypal.
Zero clue what's happening here, but I gave up.

I don't have stuff shipped to my house - too many porch pirates. I have stuff shipped directly to where I work.

Thanks. My understanding with verizon was that as well as you start a plan with the provided SIM card, it will effectively unlock on day 60 or 61 (at least in iphones it automatically does, not sure how it works for androids). I wont be removing the SIM for a long time as it sounds tracfone doesnt like SIM swapping. Its just that i may move the line ot the iphone as it will become the primary device for the kid.
