Hold onto it until christmas time - the plan doesnt expire until its activated.
Yes. You add 1.17GB/1200min/1200text and 1 year of service after transfer. Too bad the add-a-line bonus is only 500 points now.

Can you explain how to do this? I currently have a smart phone with a few months left. I would like to merge the accounts and continue using the smart phone.
I just activated the new phone & transferred my old number online, then swapped the SIM card to my new phone. Ppl say u need to call them & have them change the IMEI on the SIM (else they will possibly disconnect the line at some point), but i didn't do that & got 2 years for $50 not too long ago & had already done it over 1 year ago with another SIM. I've gotten a new phone in that time period, so each IMEI only had 2 SIMs associated, so maybe it's different if u have more, idk). This is a better deal, but oh well.

Edit: i see the post the other person linked, that's everything I did, but i just swapped the SIM card. I tried changing the device online, but it has errored out every time I've tried, & i didn't want to spend an hour+ on the phone with support, like I've had to do every time I've called them.

The SIM is just pre-installed. Same deal.

I've had that happen on a minutes/time/data card from TracFone on ebay, & it had been well over 60 days, like 8 months, & it was just a blank SIM, without any minutes. I messaged them & explained, & the first person basically said it was only for new devices, so it's my own fault. I responded & said it was too late for me to refund, but u will dispute with my bank if they don't help me. The next person apologized & said, "can we just manually add the minutes/time/data? Would that be okay?" I said ofc, that's exactly what i was asking for. 🤦🏼 ♂️ So, i got what i paid for, but was very close to getting screwed, & i saw lots of reviewers on their ebay account who did get screwed. So beware in these cases, it definitely can happen.
Yup, I got screwed once. I waited too long and when I tried to activate it, it wouldn't accept it. My messages via eBay went unanswered.

Wish there was a reliable way on how to have WhatsApp on this (with voice calls at least). Apps4Flip methods seem unreliable at best.

It's not recommended to do sim swap especially with TF-branded phones and TF/Verizon SIMs. TF may disable the service.

How I do it,

Go to tracfone.com, click activate, keep number, enter texted security code, enter imei of new phone.
I turn my main phones airplane mode on and start up new phone.
Use the flip phone for calls and texts* for a day like it's 1999.

24hrs later I go back to tracphone.com and hit the activate button again , keep number etc and use the imei of my main phone.

Things to note:
Lately the total Mins,texts, Mb's don't update on the account for hours. The end date has been pretty quick though.
*Also for my method, texting from a flip can be a pain if you depend on SMS.
(I use google voice for my real number so I don't use SMS much)

I realize most people buying this are just looking to cannibalize the minutes from it, but as far as 'dumbphones' go, this one's kind of alright. It runs a stripped down version of Android 11. I understand there's even ways to sideload APKs. Haven't actually tried that myself, just using it as a simpler secondary line, but I kind of like it.

Yes, the SIM is preinstalled in the phone and the airtime (bundled service 1200/1200/1200) is preloaded to the SIM. You may want to connect to Wi-Fi when/after setting up the phone or it may download software updates using your data.

I did it and will never do it again.
The phone the SIM was swapped from was forever borked in the tracfone system. When I tried to put the sim back after a week it wouldn't work. Ended up with a long chat session and a BYOP sim to get it to work. It then still wouldn't show Min-Text-Mb left in the website. Always had to check it in the app afterwards.

Will my points harvested during last year's add-a-line promo expire? The one years service I have will end on 9/25 so I don't think I can hold until Christmas as the points will expire when I don't have an active service.
