If you're currently using a phone on TF, your can activate phone #1 WITH A TRANFER from your current phone to have your current phone number, days, units transferred to phone #1, then the bundled 1-yr and units for phone #1 get added on top. Then activate phone #2 with a transfer from phone #1. After that, if you prefer to use your current phone, re-activate your current phone with a transfer from phone #2. Smart existing TF users do that all the time to "harvest" cheap service days and units from those HSN/QVC bundles.
The service plan is 1500 text, 1500 minutes, 1.5gb data -- for the *entire year*. Not per month. That's about 4 minutes of talk time per day.
It's an extremely minimal and restrictive cellular plan, one that you could even call insultingly low - especially if you're used to cellular plans in modernized nations (aka, ones outside the the USA). It's not for everyone, and make sure it fits your use case.

With those TF bundles, my typical cell phone service costs less than $5 a month. I cringed when I saw people paying $80 to $100 a month for their cell phone service.
I sometimes would change phones if one cracked the screen, or I wanted to go back to an older phone.
The previous phones were always there. But this time I tried to do so, recently, and everything was gone. I used the chat, as I thought maybe the option had moved somewhere, but no, all my inactive phones were gone, and the chat person said I could not longer use the sim from the older once active phone, and had to get a new sim.
So my habit of exchanging phones are not longer something easy to do.
Not sure if there was some new policy, or if somehow a glitch wiped out my inactive phones out.

Maybe you can transfer from your Galaxy to the Moto phone and then transfer back to the Galaxy. Then transfer from your Galaxy to the second Moto phone and back to the Galaxy. That way, it'll be easier to transfer back to your Galaxy as the final active phone. That's assuming Tracfone only allows up to two phones on each account, one active and one inactive.
I used to have more phones sitting in my Tracfone account but noticed Tracfone removed all but the two most recent ones. I think they changed the system to allow only two phones now. Anyone have more than two phones on their accounts?
Activated a Moto E with 1500min/txt data on 3/2024 and was bought on HSN around 7/2021, so that is more than 2.5 years later.

If you buy this 2-pack, you could add 2 years and 3000 TTD to your plan. Do the following if you don't care about referral points (potential 7,000 for existing account and 8,000 for new account with new line, but requires more time to complete! I'll skip the steps.)
1. Activate 1st G Play with a new number in your existing account.
2. Wait a few days, and active the 2nd G Play by transferring the phone number and service from the first Play. See step by step instructions [reddit.com].
3. Wait a few days, and start a chat with TF that you'd like to combine the service (add the buckets from G Play # to Galaxy S #. This is the potential risk part - some TF agents may mess up the transfer/combine... During the chat, the agent should send a verification code to the 2nd G Play (donor), and you should also receive an alert on G Play that you're moving service from this phone. Sometimes the agent want to send a code to the Galaxy (receiving phone) as well, and I get nervous. If your Galaxy receives alert about moving service, the agent is doing it wrong (moving service from wrong phone). It gets a little more complicated if your current service is not on TF/Verizon.
(DM me for a script that I've been using with great success.)
Oh, and make sure if you trying to get points as a new user YOU DON'T USE A PREVIOUSLY USED EMAIL EVENTHOUGH IT SAYS NO SUCH USER WHEN YOU TRY TO LOG IN TO THAT OLD ACCOUNT. AS SOON AS YOU ACTIVATE A LINE WITH THAT EMAIL CABOOOOM!!!! YOU ARE AN OLD USR AND NO POINTS FOR YOUR NEW LINE

Does anyone have a recomendation for a precise stylus that can be used with Android phones and tablets?
And by precise I mean a narrow tip for selecting small items like urls, text etc. I use Samsung Note phones and would love to mimic the functionality somewhat on cheaper Android phones like these for example.
TIA
