Too many reports of not receiving advertised bundled plans. :-)

Both of my phones did not have any service plans attached to it when I tried to activate them on Aug 10. I received this message today from verizonvalue on ebay:

Hello, We sincerely apologize for the frustrating activation experience! We completely understand your disappointment, as bundled listings can be tricky to interpret. To clarify, this specific listing is designed to include two physical smartphones, but it only comes with one promotional 1-Year Plan total—not one plan for each device. However, you are absolutely correct that the system glitched during your activation, which is why neither phone received the single plan it was supposed to come with.

It's weird because it was confirmed that it was 2 phones with 2 individual plans before purchasing in an earlier message. Oh well best of luck to everyone. Off to refund hell again hahaha.

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.

Quote from Lanster23

:

Update : received 2 , 2 packs. 4 phones total. 2 activated successfully. the other 2 "requires plan purchase". returning the 2 with empty plans. yikes!

Quote from ggps8k

:

Did everyone receive your phones in the retail packaging? It seems I received two phones in two white boxes.

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.

:

Same here! Activate by transferring existing number, and service plan not updated

Quote from quickmips

:

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.

Quote from JSquare

:

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.

Quote from EdenMan

:

My 2-pk also didn't come with plans. Didn't try Transfer, but confirmed with Tracfone chat rep. Requested for return as well.

:

I received 2x A03S.

Ordered August 6th. Got 2 A03s, which is Painfully slow by the way, but they each came with their own 1 year of service. Maybe I just got lucky.

Good luck to you guys

It's not just these packaged offering from HSN/QVC. ALL of TracFone is messed up recently.

I purchased the $50 "add on" checkout offer to add 365 days of service when purchasing a $10 3GB data plan. After checkout it immediately added the 3GB but did not add any days to service even though fully charged the $50 for it plus taxes and fees.

It took an hour long chat with them to get this finally fixed.

Others have reported problems with the $20 90 day cards as well still on shelves at major retailers or sold on eBay. Apparently a few months ago they made all of them worthless. No longer offering the plan and the cards are not to be sold and all unactivated ones become junk. Tons of people are being told "too bad so sad" on those.

I won't expect TF to hang on much longer if this is how they're going to continue to operate through bait and switch, incomplete/confusing advertising or constant system failures even when directly buying from their own web site.

bought in on this deal a week or two ago. Purposely waited more than 24 hours but activated / ported from old phone to A03 phone..... then another 2 days later, ported to other A03 phone..... no issues.

Now trying to move it BACK to my original phone (which is way better) --- that's a different story lol

HOWEVER--- The deal was legit for myself , the phones are TRASH. After running all of the updates, which took about 2 hours (you have to babysit it, and "restart" the phone, then run the next update --- there's like 6 total i think) ; the phone is PAINFULLY slow.
Out of curiosity, I started deleting ALL unnecessary apps and that made the phone usable.... but I still plan on calling tracfone to hopefully move the device back to my old phone.

$50 for 2 years is a no brainer. Even if all you do with it is use it to redeem free fast food stuff 🤣🤣🤣

To be expected, with just 3GB RAM, a 2021/2022 release date, A0n; anyone buying this bundle should only buy it to harvest the plans as you did. Not even suitable as spare, backup phone. But there are too many reports of no plans attached.

Unlock period is now 1 year of used paid service and must manually request it. If you want unlocked phones on receipt you must PURCHASE unlocked phones, not locked ones with bundled service. Prepare to pay quite a premimum of course. And never go with old crap like this in that case. These are only good for TF service/minutes/data harvesting at one half to one quarter the service cost itself. Don't ever look at buying any TF device for a fast, unlocked experience to take elsewhere.
