Just activate new phone on tracfone.com, and say you want to use existing number. It will transfer current minutes over. Be aware you Will need to have current phone on hand to get verification number

You cannot swap sim. I just stack it on my phone. I do a more convoluted way to maximize the returns but it takes about 2+ months to maximize the benefits. Say my main line is A. I buy this new phone B. I activate B using referral from A. For max benefit, I use a disposable email account for B. A gets 3K rewards (worth 3GB data after 2 months), B gets 2.5 K rewards ( 2GB worth). Wait 2 months - redeem all the rewards, unlock the phone B. Then remove B from the disposable email account and add it to the A account. Then chat with CR to merge B to A. At the end, I get about 6 GB data thru rewards + everything else stacked up !!

Sell phone B, which is unlocked, on FB....now that is gravy !!

Have people been able to apply the new customer promos more than once per household? I think HSN and QVC have both been canceling orders using these codes when the household has used it before.

While it may work for a while the sim is linked to the IMEI of phone it was activated with and needs to stay in that phone. It's highly recommended to activate the other phone with a new $1 BYOP sim and legitimately move service to the new phone (activate/keep current number).
You could be jeopardizing your year of promotional service by not doing things correctly - I recommend putting sim back in original phone & when phone unlocks then move balance to the 11 using a new sim.
I have an iPhone that I bought from Total Wireless a long time ago and I'm using it as Wi-Fi only device (never activated). Recently bought the Straight talk iPhone SE 3 and it came with first month's service included.

Is there any way I can activate both devices using the single plan?
I have read people writing about rebranding the phone but I'm not sure how to go about it. Any suggestions would be helpful

Rebranding isn't the issue, sim should activate on TF but you still need a plan for each phone to activate. If you move plan from the new SE3 to the old phone in first 30 days it might (or might not) affect unlock of SE3. I've never tried, don't want to risk it.
Safer to just pay for a month of cheap TF service and activate the old one - as long as you still have original sim.

Faulty website! $35 after $20 off was displayed at order submission. Once order was placed, the total charge was $57 (tax included). End up cancelling the order right away. Didn't want to bother to call CSR.

Can you use Paypal ?

I wanted to use this as a GPS tracker for my trailer and use a small solar panel to keep it charged.,

is this phone OK for that ?
It only comes with 1.5G of data. Is that going to be enough for 365 days ?

Hmm... Interesting.
For the BYOP sim, do we still have to wait for 60 days unlock period or can we use it right away?
I just received it and have another higher end unlocked Samsung phone I want to put this SIM in.
Should I buy the BYOP sim now or 2 months later???

@chaudha4,

Great tip. Just wanted to double check that I get the sequence correct:
1. Buy new phone (phone B)
2. Active new phone (B) using a new Tracfone account with referral code from own existing Tracfone account
3. Wait two months
4. Redeem rewards on new Tracfone account (phone B)
5. Remove phone B from new Tracfone acount
6. Add phone B to own existing Tracfone account
7. Chat with agent to merge credits from B into A

Please confirm that I got the steps correct so I won't mess up during the process. Thanks a lot!

Not 100% sure of the details of your plans, but if you're talking about a newly activated TF and whether you have to wait 60 days to then transfer its service to a BYOP phone with new BYOP SIM, you don't have to wait. Service can be transferred anytime between phones, and so far as I know, once you activated the new TF, the 60 day clock started ticking, and you don't have to keep it active during that time - you can transfer the service to a another phone prior to that. That's what I was told by a TF agent, that's what I did and the phone still unlocked. I'm pretty sure I've read of others here doing the same thing.

I read forums and they mentioned service can be transferred anytime but if transfered before 60 days, the original phone won't be unlocked.
So confusing.

My experience and what I was told is that the phone will be unlocked even if not kept on service. Maybe some others can report also.

I'm trying to understand this - just did a merge but was not able to stack the data from both plans, one was deactivated in the merge and lost the data from that.
