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 a cheap way to harvest Tracfone service, since the Galaxy A03 is very slow, stuck on Android 11, and best suited to calls, texts, or backup use. The strongest reports say each phone can carry a 1 year plan with 1500 minutes, texts, and 1.5 GB data, and that the balances can be transferred or stacked onto an existing line. The main caveat is that activation is inconsistent, with some orders arriving without the plan attached and requiring seller or Tracfone support to fix it. The phones also arrive in plain white boxes, so this feels more like service value than a polished handset deal.

  • People extending an existing TracFone line, because the bundled service can stack onto current minutes, texts, data, and service days.

  • People harvesting service onto another TracFone or BYOP phone, because the plan can be transferred and combined with existing balances.

  • Shoppers willing to troubleshoot activation, because the included plan can sometimes be added after contacting TracFone or the seller with the IMEI.

  • Buyers who want a basic backup phone for calls and texts, because the A03 is slow and laggy with apps but still works for simple voice and texting.

    BGRTlou2004

  • Buyers expecting both phones to include the advertised service, because several orders arrived with no plan on one or both devices.

  • People who need a reliable self-serve activation, because the website can fail and some activations require chat, IVR, or seller intervention.

  • Shoppers who need the phones to unlock quickly for resale or carrier switching, because the unlock clock requires a full year of active service.

    DoremonBGRToregon14sdandy

  • People wanting a fast everyday smartphone, because the A03 is very slow, apps lag, and basic actions can take seconds to respond.

Both of my A03s came with service plans. I was successful in harvesting the plan and extending my service by 2 years and stacking data/min/text together.

Maybe it's acting like a normal refill card. The service pin is your last 4 imei.
Very possible. I noticed the CS was not interested in anything but the IMEI and phone number to refill the one year. It took a few hrs for the them to refill the airtime. The verizonvalue service was faster and stress free than me doing the activation myself on the TF website or app ( which can get wonky at times )

Are these eBay Tracfones attached to the original buyer in any way? I mean by name? If I were to resell an unopened box or give to someone else, they could just activate it under their name, right? It would not be linked to my account in any way, correct?

Verizon Value finally responded to my message saying that they've added the service plan PINs directly to the devices available in account reserve. Anyone knows how the reserve works? I didn't give them an account, and they said they created a default account with blank email address and the default security PIN which is the last 4 digits of the IMEIs. Also chatted with Tracfone rep, they were still not able to see the plan attached to the phone.
Plan is attached to IMEI when activating on website it won't ask you to buy a plan. It just asks for IMEI to activate phone doesn't ask for sim card number since it already knows when shipped it.

How did you get in touch with Verizon Value? Just through message in eBay? Do they have a direct number or email? Because when I talked to Tracfone customer service they had no clue about Verizon Value or a Tracfone eBay store.

I did. But all I got back was a general message telling me to contact eBay customer service. However, someone suggested I email them at [email protected] and that worked. They replied right away.

I wanted to let folks know my experience with this deal just recently for those who are still following this. I bought this solely to harvest the air time for my phone and my hubs phone.

1. I ordered this 2 pack August 24 and it was delivered August 28.
2. I took the first phone out and did the activation one day and then transferred it back 24 hours later via the Tracfone website with no problems. This was for the hubs phone.
3. I took the second phone out and did the activation for my phone, It transferred but did NOT update my year of service.
4. I went back to Ebay and messaged the seller VerizonValue. I simply stated that I had successfully transferred to the new phone but the year of service was missing. I included the IMEI of the new phone. No response.
5. The next day I finally got a response, which seemed rather generic, so I just copied and pasted my original question.
6. Within 2 minutes I got a response that the year was added and sure enough it showed up on the website, good to go.

Just an FYI for those of you who may be still having problems. I hope this helps!

Can you explain how you did it? Did you get sim cards with your phone?

Does your original phone need to be a tracfone? Because I have an unlocked non-tracfone phone and a BYOP sim card. The airtime did stack but my existing sim card doesn't work anymore. I'm told that the BYOP is burned and I can't use it anymore. And i didn't get any sim cards with my phones.

If the service time stacked you obviously have a sim inside the phone or the phone wouldn't have been able to activate.

BYOP physical Sims are usually one time use only, you need to buy a new one (or activate the esim if other phone has it).

If I want to reactivate back to my old existing phone, do we pick Activate with New Device or Activate with BYOD? My old existing phone was the Motorola G tracfone phone which has been unlocked. Thanks for your help!

Old phone is still on acct as inactive, you just reactivate keeping current number.
