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.
The bundle can add service time and minutes, texts, and data to an existing Tracfone line when activation uses number transfer.
The activation workflow can be repeated for the second phone to extend service further, including reports of stacking two years total.
Some activations succeed and allow harvesting minutes, texts, and data onto a BYOP phone without needing to keep the A03 as a daily device.
The TRANSFER method can work as a fallback when website or app transfers error during the final step.
The bundle may arrive with missing or unrecognized plans, which can force plan purchases or returns after activation attempts.
Texting TRANSFER to 611611 can sometimes wipe existing min/text/data or trigger port-in limbo, so it can be risky for harvesting.
Tracfone support and account corrections can be slow or inconsistent, and some issues may require eBay/VerizonValue involvement to resolve.
The A03 hardware can feel unusably sluggish and is effectively unsuitable for real daily smartphone use.

Moderators may want to pin this comment at the top of this thread to warn Slickdeals users from losing their Tracfone service (min/text/data) when they're trying to harvest service from new plans.
There is another pinned post at the top by energyx on Aug 6, 2026 10:25 AM that recommends texting TRANSFER to 611611, but this is a really bad idea. I don't know if this has worked for any of the people that liked that post, but this has failed for me in the past.
Texting TRANSFER to 611611 will cause you to lose your existing Tracfone service (min/text/data), and possibly be stuck in a failed port-in limbo, which would require account owners to call a Tracfone agent for assistance with the port-in.
Additionally, your Tracfone service (min/text/data) will disappear from your online account, and will probably be gone forever.
Good luck wasting your time with Tracfone's call center minions who are only trained to follow their regurgitated scripts.
If you want to harvest the Tracfone service (min/text/data) from a new plan, by combining it with your existing service (min/text/data) while keeping the same phone number, then follow the instructions in the post below:

I've followed the instructions in that post to successfully harvest minutes from new plans and add them to my plan with no problems.
foks who want to use the transfer option may find everything works fines but no one year airtime get added on the account. Thats when your out of luck and headed for the ebay return.
My final goal was airtime. TF CS confirmed no airtime was attached to the phones on their system. TF cannot help, only verizon value ebay store can handle the return.
yeah I did TRANSFER and worked wonderfully. No issues. BUT airtime was not included. Both phones get activated using transfer without issues.

This texting TRANSFER to 611611 process does NOT work for harvesting and combining min/text/data into the same account, which is what I wanted to point out. At least it did not work for me before. Maybe this has changed and it works differently now, but I'm not spending any time and money to find out.
I have called tracfone and I was told one phone did not have any service attached to it.
I am wondering what would you recommend for the issue when only one has the service but the other one has no service.
These are so old they boot to the old Tracfone logo which hasn't been used on new phones in several years (Verizon bought TF in Nov 2021).

See my post above from today (August 14, 2026) at 10:28 AM for more details.
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.

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.

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.
