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.

  • 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.

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.

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.
