- Setup a phone then turn off. (You can also do this step after activation.) You don't need to remove the pre-inserted SIM. Phone will not be activated automatically.
- Go to Tracfone website and click 'Activate'.
- Click 'Activate' under 'New Phone (One you've purchased through Tracfone)'.
- Select 'I want a new number' and enter your ZIP code. (or Keep your number and enter port information if you want to port your current phone # to Tracfone.)
- Select 'I want to use the physical SIM card' and continue.
- Enter IMEI of your phone, agree to the terms and continue.
- Activation Request Submitted. Click 'Continue' then the 'Create Account' tab to create a new account.
- Turn on your phone. If you already setup your phone, you should receive welcome text with your phone number. (optional) You can text UNLOCK to 611611 (sometimes twice) to check unlock date.
- Wait a day or two, then follow the DIY Guide [reddit.com] to activate the 2nd phone, which will have 3000 TTD and 2 years of service.
- (Optional) If you want to use an unlocked phone, buy a $1 TF BYOD SIM (TF/Verizon) and follow the DIY Guide to transfer everything over. Tracfone supports eSIM for some phone models.
- Do NOT swap SIMs. Tracfone phone IMEI and SIM ICCID are paired. Inserting the SIM that came with the phone in a different one may impact the service/unlock eligibility.
For the best use of referral codes:
1) Create a new tracfone account using phone 1 (email 1) and enter a referral code from someone else. Both you and the other person would get ~5,000 referral points each
Fine, but how to get first referral code? Will another TracFone users phone number work as a referral? My deadbeat family member didn't join rewards and can't be bothered to do so!!

Some Tracfone models that aren't on the official pdf whitelist will still clear the IMEI test, because they're functionally identical to the variant that is on the whitelist. My personal opinion is that after the Verizon buyout, Verizon has taken steps to try to get their variants intentionally left out of the imei database for 'identical models' that would be perfectly acceptable to AT&T otherwise. (Kind of a hidden network lock that the user will be tempted to blame AT&T for....)
I've read that AT&T MVNOs are increasingly following the AT&T whitelist.

So if I already have one tracfonr account on my email1, are you saying I will create another account with email2 and activate the second line here? The enter referral code from account 1 into second account within 14 days to earn 5000 points in account2? I am sorry I want to be clear before I execute these steps.
Sorry but what's harvesting? Thanks.
Please let us know. Thanks.
Tracfone: B1 (2100), B2 (1900), B4 (1700/2100), B5 (850), B8 (900)
Unlocked: 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,13,17,20,26,28,32,38,39,40,41,42,43,66
I need LTE bands 3, 28, 40 & 41 so I guess I won't be able to use this unlocked Tracfone on my trip. Speed and coverage on T-Mobile may be iffy, too, since it's missing band 12 which is important for indoor coverage and network congestion.
