It has been this price for at least two months. I've avoided it because there have been reports that one or both phones do not come with the one year of service. Returning is an option (at your cost), but you need to do it within 30 days.

Probably some scammy SD'ers returning the phone after harvesting the plan....

Yes, I bought a pair a couple months ago. Activated one and saved the second for later. Safer and simpler than dealing with HSN/QVC in my opinion.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank AlexS2465

Phones themselves are complete ewaste FYI. Even after unlocking besides the flimsy feel the battery dies within half a day if used often and glitches for messages and other things on top.

Does both phones come with a 1 year service plan? If so, could you wait to activate the second phone and essentially have service for two years?

Yes, one year each. No need to wait, you can activate both and add both without any waiting. I just haven't done it.

Not true, returns are covered by seller per eBay money back guarantee policy:

"Your item didn't match the listing, or it arrived faulty or damaged

Accept your return request and offer a full refund – You'll return the item in the same condition in which it was received, and the seller will then issue a full refund, including the original shipping cost. The seller will also pay for return shipping."

Also,

"When the item received by the buyer doesn't match the listing

Sellers are required to deliver the item as it was described in the listing. If the buyer receives the wrong item, or the item arrives broken, damaged, or faulty (and was not clearly described as such), they are entitled to return it for a refund, even if the seller doesn't offer returns.

Buyers and sellers may agree to another solution, such as a full or partial refund while the buyer keeps the item, or a replacement item instead of a refund.

Both buyers and sellers must meet all applicable return requirements. If an item is being returned,

the seller is responsible for return shipping."

wondering the same thing. assuming that both phones actually come with service, the answer should be yes. Though it's not a completely simple task, at least not for me...

I think the referral program has always worked.

It's the amount of points per referral that's been in question.

From tf website:

From the Tracfone website:

"Join or activate your membership today to access 200+ additional points. Also referring a friend gets you both points towards the purchase of a month of service – sweet!"

Helluva deal! Purchased to harvest service from phones but discovered the phones are fairly sophisticated and quite usable. Great for grandpa and the grandkids, as well!

After some research, I found out that the new phones need to be activated by calling tracfone and giving them your IMEl number as well as letting them know that you have prepaid for a year of service through eBay. It was very frustrating trying to get the phone to work until I spoke with a freindly voice at tracfone wireless. Texting with tractone through ebay was not helpful, pass on that if you can. This phones minutes and # can also be also be transferred to a nicer phone if you have one.

Worked- you have to set up through their website with the IMEl from under the cover and battery. Not sure why the phone packaging didn't tell you this.
Go the website, put in your IMEl, and follow the directions there, then it will activate and work. Don't bother following the in phone prompts about activating, they didn't work for me and it was frustrating. I once I did it through the website it worked immediately.

Both phones activated, each with the full bundle.
After activation 2 system updates become available one after the other (settings, turn on wifi, then scroll down to software update, check for updates). Wifi calling becomes available after activation as well, with no minutes deducted in that mode. Easily imported contacts by copying vcard export from previous phone to the new phones, then importing. Great value if you are looking to save a buck.

Fast shipping, received 2 Orbic flip phones as pictured. Activated 1 phone: # ported and the phone was usable within minutes. However, took about 10 hours for the port to fully complete (couldn't check balance or make account changes online until it had). Plan activated correctly @

Easy to activate. You will need the IMEl and to do it on the TracFone website. Just follow simple instructions. Power off device and back on after activation and go to updates in settings and update the phone 2 times to activate WiFi calling. The minutes and texts automatically are on the device once activated. Phone is what I wanted for a burner.
Second phone I will activate later. Good price and good phones. Thanks!
