It takes some configuring, but I've had good experiences with using Google Family to manage my kids devices.
1. Go to the web to find the current minutes, messages, data, and days remaining on your permanent phone.
2. Activate your "donor" phone on the same account.
3. Go to the web to find the current minutes, messages, data, and days remaining on your new, donor phone.
4. Go to support.tracfone.com and scroll down to and click "Chat with Support".
5. Populate the message template below with details of your donor phone and permanent phone and share with the CSR.

There are lots of reports of people waiting at least 6 months since then, it's not a concern.
There are two versions of extensions. You could have a limited allotment plan and extend it with an unlimited talk/text plan. Anecdotes suggest this turns the entire plan into an unlimited plan. The other way would be to extend an unlimited plan with this limited allotment plan but I haven't seen any evidence of what the resulting plan would look like. Would it keep the unlimited status or would it drop down to limited allotment after the unlimited time runs out?
An 8 year old shouldn't have more than a feature phone.
They were ecstatic! $20 each for one year of service. The Dad said, "They will lose them before the one year is up anyway."

I've been helping a neighbor with Tracfone. I told her to do it online, but nooooo. She insisted on activating her new phone by calling them. Then she complained to me that it took her 90 minutes to get her new phone activated, and that she was tearing her hair out.
My 24gb plan will expire next month. It would be great if this deal can extend it.
The minutes expire because as long as you have the number activated you are consuming some of their resources. The network equipment.has to be paid for.
Not a big deal, put the phone in the car and remember to use it once a month or once a quarter. I call the WWV time number.
Just be warned that these are very low-spec phones so if you actually intend to use them to install apps or browse the web, you may be disappointed with how sluggish they are and how much lag occurs. When I see people talking about getting them for their kids, I'm not sure if that amounts to child abuse or a good lesson in patience.
The Tracfone and Moto bloat can be easily removed through ADB or a GUI debloater [github.com]. If you are planning on removing bloat, DO NOT upgrade to Android 13. Tracfone made some of their bloat apps untouchable in Android 13 so you cannot uninstall them. Android 12 have none of these issues so you can make it as barebones as you want.
