Did they remove free shipping? It's $5.50 for me with the promo code applied.

Yeah, that's what I'm seeing as well. Maybe the free shipping was just available for a brief time. A pic in the original post shows a cart with -20 and also -$5.50 for S/H but I only see a -$20 discount. However, I didn't want to enter my CC info until I confirmed the total so I selected "pay by check" to get to the final screen (although I don't think the payment method should affect that)

if i already have a tracfone phone, number, minutes, and I buy this. will all transfer over automatically or do I have to get new number?

I would advise to activate the phone and transfer your number at the same time. I have done so many times. I do it online, and have had very few problems. But make sure and do it during the week. I did it on a Friday evening once and it didn't transfer until Monday. Some people will advise you to call, but you may have a long wait. Make sure to document your minutes/ texts/data, before your transfer, in case something does go wrong.

I've been going through the Tracfone HSN drill the past 5 years and I have a balance of over 5,000 minutes, etc. This year as an existing customer I paid $10 more for this deal with this phone. I was hoping for a different phone this year as I have used the Samsung A03s the past year and it is pretty bad. It looks nice, but is loaded with Samsung bloatware and takes forever to restart, update, etc. For a second/emergency phone it is OK.

I can't complain about the the Tracfone service, but it seems like I've locked myself into renewing annually with them and HSN for the plan renewal and new phone so I can transfer my minutes, etc.

Ask a side question here hope someone with tons of experience on Tracfone can answer me.
Can I redeem my rewards to buy data or minutes for someone else? Or only the number under my account?

This takes some gymnastics which people may not fully understand.

Activate the new phone by itself, create a new Tracfone/rewards account use your primary account referral code. Your new account will get 2500pts, you get 5000pts (or more). On day 61 when all points vest, unlock the new phone, and use 2500pts in the new account to buy 2GB of data leaving you 500pts. Then move this new line to your primary account, and merge services into your main line.

Summary: your main line is plus 10 months/1500 min/1500 text/3500 MB data, and you harvest 5000+pts.

Worse than before? Of course! Decent deal as is? Yep!

I never got any of those signup bonus. If I remember correctly every time I entered my phone number it says I have an account already. I might have to try this again.

If you or a senior qualifies you can get free assurance wireless. I have an old one that my grandma used and they have yet to deactivate it. We registered her death but it's still on? https://www.assurancewireless.com/

I got one of these from a Cricket promo last year. I used the SIM in my phone and let the kids play with the A03 over the wifi. 32GB is not enough. lmao They only installed a few games and that thing was out of space. I think it's still waiting for me to free up space so it can download a system update from March or April of 2022.

Got a couple questions. Appreciate any clarification. So 1) The 1500 minutes is total minutes for 1 year without monthly payment ? 2) I could activate the phone once and then get unlocked some months later ? Thank you.

Anyone else is having problems with Tracfone referral system? My referee phone got 2500 points pending instantly. My referring account got 0 points. Tracfone's CSR is the worst as usual.

That, combined with they recently reduced the bonus to 2500 pts, make this deal less attractive.

Same thing with me and it happened on two accounts.
I guess im done with tracfone.

You can request unlock 2 months after activation.

Do you have to keep the line active for those 2 months or can I combine this line with my existing Tracfone line right after activation? Meaning this line will be closed once merged into my existing line

Dear slickdeals user, i never know 2 lines, from 2 different accounts, can later on merge into a single account. I just wanted to make sure I read it right:... a line from email address [email protected] can merge with a line from email address [email protected]? as long as both have the same owner, address and primary non tracfone phone number? thanks for confirming.

The accounts will always stay separate, it's the lines that can be moved from one account to another at will. Once you move, 1 account will now hold 2 lines, and the second one will have none. After you put lines under the same account, you can merge.
