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.

Gotcha. I'd call support & have them activate
I messaged the seller and they said all 4 had the plans reserved, so I used the facebook messenger chat option on the website (on the login page) and they were able to get both numbers ported.

Has anyone had BOTH of their phones come with service?
Both of mine came with service. This model cuts off phone after answer and before you can enter passcode or other code. Hitting keyboard icon does not help. I transferred the year's service to the flip with no problems. Keeping the second for the time being.

Anyone know where I can sell this little monster?

IMO a couple of more interesting items they have on sale on their eBay store arehttps://www.ebay.com/itm/287503823650 - $60 365 day plan. This is probably most useful for unlocking any TF phone after 1 year of activation.https://www.ebay.com/itm/287505854589 - Moto G Stylus 5G 2024 w/ 1 year plan, maybe the best phone per dollar device they have on sale that comes with a future unlock dateFor the phone itself, the A03 is not terribly useful as a daily driver. Maybe only for calls and texts. A phone of last resort. Apps will be laggy. Used one myself a few years back.
So it comes with a phone and a year of service for 80(second link).

That seems like an insane value, I pay 35 a month on straight talk but barely use it besides a call her or text there...any downside to this?

The downside is you might get a bruise from kicking yourself for not switching earlier. If you really only make a call or text occasionally, see if this one is available for you for $50.. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Tracfo...784512561?

Also that Tracfone Moto G Stylus 5G 2024 works on Visible locked out of the box. You can put physical sim directly into the phone and it works.

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.
I just did a harvest this afternoon and it worked magically and within a few minutes. I was very appreciative of doing it. My main Tracfone line was going to expire tomorrow. It is on the unlimited plan and I really really didn't want to lose it. I'm so glad that I was able to get it done using your explanation.

So your phones had the plans attached? I haven't activated mine yet, but I'm worried they won't have the plans like many in this thread.

Why not chat to Tracfone and ask them to confirm? That's what I did. Give them the imeis and they will check it for you .

Oooh this was a phone and bundle I bought well over a year ago from QVC, maybe a year and a half ago.
I'm sorry that I jacked the thread. I was just extra excited about getting the harvesting done using the method that was mentioned in the thread.

so, this ordeal was a bit of a song and dance. while the first phone i was able to activate just fine, the second phone apparently did not have the service time on it as when i tried to harvest it on the website it would error out. since i had the original email where they replied that both phones have a reserved service, i reached out to them in a reply and they put the service in reserve for the imei. though i still couldnt harvest it and it would error out on the website. then i did the website chat and the csr asked for the zip code where it would be used the most and the harvest went though. so, apparently the second phone did not have the service in reserve and when i got them to add it they even though asking for my zip code did not put that in.
