Use the existing phone and text TRANSFER to 611611, it will confirm and ask for new phone IMEI, once complete check balances on account. After about 10-15 minutes, do the same on the new phone via text and it will move back to the original phone with combined balances. Just did it yesterday.

When activating the phone, select that you want to transfer your existing number. The minutes/texts/data/service time in the bundle will be added to the existing balance when the service is transferred to the new phone. Wait a day, and repeat with the second phone. If you want to go back to your original phone, then wait another day, and reactivate that phone.

This bundle is mainly useful as cheap Tracfone service and a possible harvest source, not as a daily phone. The A03 is very slow, runs old Android 11, and is best kept for calls, texts, or transferring the included year of service and 1,500 minutes, texts, and data to another line. Activation can be finicky, with some orders missing the plan or needing seller or Tracfone support to attach it. The safest takeaway is that the service value is the draw, while the phones themselves are dated and limited.

  • People harvesting Tracfone service onto an existing line, because the bundled plans can stack and add minutes, texts, data, and service time.

  • Household backup-phone users, because the phones can be kept for basic calling and texting while the service time extends an existing number.

  • Buyers willing to activate one phone now and hold the other for later, because the second activation can be delayed and still extend service when timed correctly.

    sdhl2016sdfooanjentaiafrugalfather

  • People who want a cheap way to extend an existing Tracfone line, because the bundle can add a year of service and the included minutes can carry over.

  • Shoppers who need guaranteed included airtime on both phones, because some orders arrived with no plan on one or both devices and required returns or support.

    NavyRiver1762shruiikenForgottenWallLanster23

  • Anyone wanting a reliable everyday smartphone, because the A03 is very slow and apps can lag or fail to install on its outdated Android version.

    BGRTNoDajohnnybladesoregon14

  • People who need a hassle-free activation, because online activation can fail and sometimes requires chat, phone, or seller intervention to attach the plan.

    sdandyjoseattgone_campingTodayOnly

  • Buyers expecting to move the service back and forth without risk, because transferring too early can wipe out minutes, texts, or data and leave the account in limbo.

I know you can transfer your current balance to the new phone.

however how can you reactivate your old phone(which might be much better than this older phone model) without adding/buying any new service plan? Every time when you try to reactivate your old phone, it asks you to add new service plan. It seems you can't transfer the balance back to your old phone without adding new service plan.
If you do it on the website:

Activate -> Bring Your Own Phone -> I want to keep my number, etc

For those of you who messaged VerizonValue regarding a phone without a service plan: how long did you have to wait for a reply? I sent a message 24 hours ago and still haven't received a response.
Same here! Activate by transferring existing number, and service plan not updated

Yes reactivation by selecting existing number. Everything goes back on your old phone.
I find more comfort in doing it on the website PC.
Plus it also gave me a smooth process with esim - just enter the esim IMEI thats it. 5 minute tops.

The advice of energyx was right on....TRANSFER works beautifully.
I have always used the 'Activate with existing number' option on the website in the past. However, I still ran into trouble once when I lost my entire balance. Tracfone support was not helpful at all; some representatives were rude, and they offered conflicting answers. Long story short, I never got my minutes back, and my BBB claim was not resolved. In the end, I transferred my service to US Mobile. My other lines are still on Tracfone, but I will transfer those lines whenever something goes wrong in the future. It isn't worth the time when something goes wrong, and there's no guarantee what will always work.

work well! Thank you. I use this phone text message method to transfer the service to the new Tracfone. Then I wait a day and use the Tracfone on line activation button to transfer the service back to my BYOP phone, because I need to generate a new esim profile for the old phone.
I did these transfers with few hrs in the between. My case there was no airtime added to the main account.
About the going back to old BYOD, its seems like the old esim profile was already there, my case it was fast and reactivated quickly with my old minutes.

All four phones I ordered had included 1 year service. All have been activated from prior existing plans and the existing text/mins. carried over. Just FYI for those tracking the thread.

Do you also need to use a brand-new Verizon Sim?

If a phone was on tracfone before, you can use the sim to transfer harvested mins. to it, but if its a phone that has never seen tracfone, I'd get their sim kit to transfer to the phone, people don't have good luck trying to move a SIM card from one tracfone to another.

To add another data point: both of my phones received this week had plans loaded on them. I made the mistake of starting activation on the first one without choosing the number transfer option, thinking I could exit out after seeing if it indeed had a plan. Nope. It got assigned a new number. My old number didn't have much time/data left and was only used as a backup, so not a huge issue for me.

i don't intend to use these phones, just getting them set up to activate and then transfer back to my old phone...but holy crap these are bad phones.
i honestly can't remember ever using a phone that is so slow to respond. even pushing the power button takes a second or two before the screen turns on, i keep turning it off because it repush the button thinking it wasn't registering. yikes.

A0n < A1n < A2n < A3n < A5n in the A series of Samsungs.
And the A03 was released in late 2021 or early 2022.

Can you activate one after another? I just want to add 2 more years to my mother's account balance that expires next month.

You should be able to. Just leave a gap of at least 1 day between each switch. I added two years using the 50 dollar moto g power and of these. Saving the other one to activate as a new lone.
