I am still on a Sprint sim and have no issues with Sprint coverage. I have over 8GB available to me now, from the rollovers. Nice thing is, if you go in the night before renewal and manually renew your plan, the data carries over. I have the $6, 1GB plan with unlimited texts.

I keep my existing phone number, that is an option on one of the web pages when activating the SIM. The minutes/text/data balances sometimes take a few minutes to update, but they do add to my existing balance. The service date typically extends one year immediately. Then, turn the phone on and check my minutes/text/data balances. I turn off my phone, swap SIM cards, and activate the SIM/transfer my phone number routine using Tracfone's website.

The minutes/texts/data were added to my existing totals.ĭid you have to open the phone to switch the sim card? and you were able to keep you existing totals? Very good deal.įor the last few years, I've been buying the 1000 texts for $5 text (with a coupon for another 1000 for free), and then getting the option for 1 year of service for $49. I just did it today, and it was very easy using Tracfone's website. But minutes / data unfortunately do not rollover. Redpocket is $60 a year, with 100 minutes and 500MB per month. Eventually I gave up and transferred the number to Redpocket. I couldn't get it to work on one of my phones the last time and spent a lot of time with customer service to no avail. These deals are sometimes tricky to get them to work because you have to activate a new line, transfer the old number and make sure your existing credit transfers over. Doesn't that mean you'll then have a different phone number? What if I want to keep using my same number? PLEASE don't tell me all I have to do is call Tracfone 'customer service' to make that happen! Um, this is probably a stupid question, but.it says the minutes are preloaded onto a sim card. Here is the link to Tracfone's ebay store. I use AT&T's network, but you can also choose Verizon or T-mobile. I just bought a new SIM card for my phone that adds one year of service, 1200 minutes, 1200 texts, and 3GB of data for $39.99.
