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.
Hello, I'd like to move the data, minutes, text, and remaining days FROM my line TO my line .
currently has ### minutes, ### messages, #.# GB data, ### days left which I'd like added to my line which currently has ### minutes, #### messages, #.# GB data, ## days left.
My account email address is:
The end result should be minutes, messages, GB data, days left.

Is there a way to move the service from the second phone once I activate it to this phone that is already activated and is setup the way I want it? I would think I don't even have to take the second phone out of the box cause I have the IMEI number on the outside of the box. Can I do this online with self serve option or is this where I need to chat with a TF agent? Would it be easier if I had one of those "transfer" sim kits I read about in this thread?
