They validate your name + address and other info now. Last time I tried to order from QVC was in March. Was actually ordering for my elderly grandparents since they needed a low spec phone + cheap plan. But somehow the transaction was flagged and had to call in. Not exactly sure what caused the flagging. Since grandparents were legit new customers I used the new customer code. When calling in they used info like like DoB, previous address, etc to verify who you are now. Couldn't get the transaction through since grandparents aren't able to call by themselves and I'm not going to pretend I'm an 80 year old. They do all this for a $50 transaction, which is a bit overkill IMO.

TF only has hotspot for monthly paid unlimited plans, this plan is considered promotional since it's included with a phone (bundled service) and not eligible either.

Whenever you see a HSN/QVC deal on SD, remember:
1. Don't use a new user coupon if you aren't a new user, they continuously drop the Hammer on people.
2. Don't click in through slickdeals, they get a fat commission and thats why they always FP these deals. Find the best cash back website for yourself. Sometimes cash back gets as high as 20% and is often 8% or more.

Anyone get their phone and check to see if Hotspot works? I got my phone today but I am waiting until the end of November to activate. Thanks in advance.
Mine doesn't have hotspot (activated today) which is what I expected since they've always considered bundled service to be " promotional " and different from monthly unlimited plans. My current data balance was added to the 24 gb & data was not doubled like the new monthly unlimited plans.

I have the non unlimited plan currently and received this phone today, if I set it up what will happen to my current minutes, texts and data?
I read through all the posts here and some people say that put to the side in a separate bucket until the one year is up. Some say that it will combine. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks

You're not going to get a definitive answer because they haven't been offering the unlimited bundled phones for very long.
My phone added the new 24 gb data to my current data & shows unlimited T&T with service extended for 1 yr - but until more people reach the end of the unlimited year & report results it's just a guess. Most are assuming it reverts back to whatever your previous buckets were before adding unlimited plan but we will have to see.

Thanks.
Some peoples data was not added but rather will begin once again, after the year is up on the unlimited talk/text bundle.

edit...
I didn't see your post.

That's why there's not a definitive answer yet. Seems to be a few different results (2 people reported on HoFo they got double data) & things might have changed since the recent unlimited bundles were released.
Guess it's the usual "YMMV" with Tracfone, we just need more results to confirm.

I saw there also that a couple people are getting hotspot support too, and like you mentioned, some are not.

Thanks for the informative answer, it has helped me understand why all the conflicting comments about this. I have 14000 minutes, 3000 texts but only 2 gig of data and would hate to lose minutes especially.
My account is good until 12-24-24 so I will probably wait until I get closer to that date and contact TF (I know they are never much help) but maybe I can get an answer through chat and save the chat session for proof.
Thanks again for your help 😃

NO STOP DON'T. Tried to unlock a Tracfone and it never unlocked and they wasted days of my time and then told me to pound sand. You may have to file a complaint with the FCC. This company and these cheap low end phones are no bargain at any price.

Got these from HSN recently, and got 2x data + hotspot on mine. Was already on an unlimited plan that was not expired yet. Yes, the data combined, and yes, I tested the hotspot, it works.

Did you just activate the new phone on the existing line? Did it extend the end date of your existing plan by 1 year in addition to adding 24GB to your available data?

Sounds like some of us are getting ripped off if our data didn't double & we didn't get hotspot.

Yep, added 365 days to the existing end date, and added data to the existing remaining data (they stacked). I kept the existing number.

I actually ordered 2 and just activated the 2nd one, sadly that one only got 24GB and no hotspot (hotspot was not advertised, so I didn't get shortchanged, but it was a nice perk on the 1st one).

The one that got the extra data + hotspot had an older manufacture date; perhaps these were originally slated to be bundled with the hotspot plan, and they comingled inventory.

Either way, if you get the bonus data + hotspot, just consider it a bonus, it's still a great deal for a device + 1 year of service.

if waited 60 days after activating first one it would of automatically network unlock to use on other carriers. Then activate second one that one also unlocks in 60 days since it has the plan attached to IMEI

If don't wait first one never unlocks only second phone after 60 days.

Not in my experience. Last year I activated A53's then transferred back to my old phones the next day. The A53's unlocked after 60 days.
