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.

Community Reviews

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.

While that makes logical sense to you and me when it comes to TF they don't learn their lesson. Several years ago they had a deal on preloaded sim cards but they shipped empty sims instead. Even after buyers reported having problems they kept selling them & TF support didn't have a clue (they tried to deny that TF even had an eBay website). Everyone eventually got refunds but it was a mess for several weeks, SD had page after page of buyers complaining.
Oregon is right. Customer service these days is horrible. I just had unbelievably horrible experience with mint mobile and FedEx customer service. These people just do absolute bare minimum to collect a paycheck. They don't care about fixing their mistakes. Unless maybe if their job is on the line.

Unusual problems (like this one) require an experienced rep and they're hard to find. Most phone support is overseas and they're not actual customers of the company they work for so the only thing they understand is what's in the company manual - if it's not covered there they have no clue.

I have always just put the second/last SIM in my original phone instead of transferring it back. I know ppl have cautioned against that because they got their phone disconnected, but I've done it the last 3 or 4 times & it's worked fine. I actually use my phone daily for texting, so maybe inactivity was their issue & not harvesting?
Basic stuff like voice and text may work. Problem is verifying the account/data may not because they're still showing a different IMEI (phone serial) on their side. There are some services that are provisioned differently depending on the hardware you are using.

It's not that difficult to transfer the line to another phone online.

The donor phones will still be locked after one year?

Yes, all phones require year of active service on the phone to qualify - but these are already so outdated they wouldn't be worth anything by the time they unlock. They were very basic phones even when they were first released 4 yrs ago.

There are reports on other forums of donor phones still having automatically unlocked under the previous policy after 60 days even though the service had been transferred away from the device. (For example, see https://www.howardforums.com/thre...t-17319036 where the poster claims the first device was active for only 20 days but still unlocked). With the new 365-day policy requiring an explicit request to unlock, that might no longer be the case. In any case, you should assume it won't unlock since the official policy is that it needs to be active.

Both of my phones each had 1 year of service and all the minutes text data. Just finished transfering the balances to my existing line.

Thank you for the update. I hope mine will be the same. I also wish there were a way to know for sure without activating both phones, since I only need to activate one for now. I would like to keep the other one for close to a year before activating it.

Why? You can add it to whatever service you have now & it will extend the service - there's no reason to wait till it expires. Better to add now in case there's a problem.

I also bought the Samsung A16 deal, which takes a year to unlock. I do want the extended service with one of the phone here, but after unlocking the Samsung phone first.

Both of my phones had 1 year of service.
Now to figure out what to do with two outdated phones that I don't want or need.

They are indeed outdated phones. I might use one more or less as a single-use phone, meaning I would uninstall all the non-essential apps except the one I need. The phone may run okay that way.
