Another data point. I ordered the phones on Aug 6, but did not try to activate until yesterday. Just finished the second activation successfully with two years extended to my existing number and all of the expected minutes/text/data. As usual I did everything via the web site. Sorry about folks that have had problems. For what it's worth, I've been a customer for 15 years or so and I think I've done versions of this well over a couple dozen times over the years across 4 numbers (only have 2 now), but knock on wood, I have never had it fail.

Live chat told me to contact Ebay about the issue also.
Were you able to sort this out? I'm on the same boat, one added a year (and minutes/texts/data), the other one went through the activation but didn't add anything to the plan.

If you activate a phone but the plan isn't added (ie the activation is successful, but the balance and end date aren't updated), try to Contact the Seller on eBay and send the IMEI of the phone(s) that didn't work.

I activated the first phone, and the plan was added. I then re-activated my old phone, and had my old (better) phone with 1 year added. Sweet.
A few days later, I activated the second phone. The service was moved from my old phone to the new, but the balance and expiration date didn't update. With the service still on the new phone*, I spent 1.5 hours talking to the Tracfone customer service via chat (2 agents), and they ended up telling me to contact the seller on eBay.

I sent a short message to the Verizonvalue seller on eBay with the IMEI and what happened. Less than 30 minutes later, I got a reply that they added the 1 Year Plan (1500 Min/Text/Data) Bundle and activated the phone with the IMEI. Sure enough, the Balance and Expiration date have been updated.

*Would this have worked if I had already re-activated the old phone and moved the balance? I don't know

If you're in a similar situation, good luck.

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.
No reply thru eBay yet. Returned started 4 days back.

Thank you for the detailed recap.
Were you able to transfer everything back to your old (better) phone?
Another words: did it work out as:

Old better phone balance and service time -> 2 years added + 2x1500mins,etc, -> old better phone?

Yes, in the end, it did!

There was another hiccup at the final transfer to my old phone. I tried it on the site and the app and on both after the last step it gave me an error that it couldn't proceed at this time and to call a number it gave me.

Instead, I texted TRANSFER to 611611, followed the prompts, and that worked.

I made $25k (-$5k in merchandise) off temu by using these phones to create lots of accounts and winning the weekly leaderboards. A few years ago. Fun times.

Bogus time wasting deal. No airtime on both. Started ebay return.

Purchased a few tracfone deals like this, never had such an experience.

Activated correctly using TRANSFER 611611 but no airtime.

Is it possible the evil forces do not like transferring number during activation to extend service?

TF going downhill.
Same here. It is hit and miss. I have two orders. Both phones have plan for the first order while none has plan for the second order.

Need to deal with eBay return as well.

Was your old phone getting the final TRANSFER an Esim or SIM?

There have been cases where Esim was an issue and a chat/call was need. Glad it worked smooth for you.

Surprised they're actually doing returns instead of refunds since these phones are so old.
Now that they've been activated the resell value for this model "used" phone isn't worth the shipping cost.

Glad you finally got a return label.

Yeah the phones are old and so slow that they are unusable. They send a QR code shipping label.
I dont care about the phone and I am still trying to get the airtime loaded to my account. Lets see.
Its a win win for both only if I can get the airtime. They can have the phones. Wink
Unfortunately the CS confirmed my 2 pack phone bundle had no airtime loaded.

The old phone has a physical SIM.

I'm sorry yours didn't work! Couldn't VerizonValue on eBay confirm that there were no plans preloaded on your two IMEIs and that they could add the plans on their end? I must have just gotten lucky.

USPS said the return shipping labels that were provided to me through ebay are NOT valid to ship the phones back as they do not have the hazmat electronic declaration on them. This is such a mess!

4 out of 4, NO plan included. All are going back, I promised myself no to deal with Tracfone but I keep falling for these type of deals.
