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.

Why didn't you follow link at beginning of this thread? - it goes directly to the 2024 version, not the 2023 model.
I've never ordered from QVC before and I probably will never again. And I chargeback maybe once every few years, I'm sure my bank will side with me.
If you activated before returning you still get refund minus return shipping cost. And plan never disappears i still have 1 year 24GB unlimited from Blu return
Same when purchasing TF from HSN.

Got the phones today, got them both merged today. Tomorrow or the next day I'll see if CS will let me combine them with what I'm working with.
If I bought 4 phones can I harvest 4 years worth?
If not not big deal just curious.
For doing the 2 year. Do I need to register them with tracphone using the same email?
Is this the right understanding:
I can Activate both phones today. Wait 60 days for the unlock of both phones. Then transfer what ever time/minutes left on one phone to the other phone. Giving me aprox 22 months?

To transfer and/or combine/merge, it's best to have all phones in the same account.
If you activate both phones at the same time, after 60 days each phone will have 10 months left, combine one into another will give you 20 months, not 22. If you activate phone #1 first, then after 60 days activate phone #2 with a transfer from phone #1, then phone #2 will have 22 months of service.

* Some reps don't know how to do it, or say it can't be done.
* Let's say you want to merge/combine the remaining days/units on phone A into phone B, but keep the current phone number of phone B. Some reps can mess up by:
- Moving the phone number of phone A to phone B and you lose the phone number of phone B.
- Move phone number, days/units from phone A to phone B and WIPE OUT the current phone number, days/units of phone B.
I've been using TF since 2001 and I avoid merging/combining.
.
less risky way of activating an inactive phone with a transfer from an active phone...
This sounds good. Is this method also dependent on CSRs to perform, or how to do myself?
Self service is best, when available.
