How to dump the phone and keep the plan (copied and edited from community wiki on this deal):
  • Purchase a BYOD Tracfone SIM card (two if transferring to two phones), available for $1 each almost anywhere. One vendor is Best Buy [bestbuy.com], but there are many others.
  • Write down the SIM number(s).
    • Make sure it is a BYOD sim, not a sim with pre-loaded minutes. Only a BYOD sim will work.
  • Purchase this a03 phone deal.
  • Activate the a03 phones using the instructions provided with the phones.
    • You may wait up to a year to activate a phone.
    • Your 1-year plan begins when you initially activate.
    • Unsure about this, but I think you need to activate both lines on the same Tracfone account to make combining the plans easier later.
    • You must initially activate using the provided a03 phone.
  • Insert BYOD Tracfone sim in BYOD phone.
    • BYOD phone must be capable of communication on the Verizon network, and must be either unlocked or locked to Tracfone.
  • Contact Tracfone to move number and service to new phone. You may do this multiple ways:
    • Online, at https://www.tracfone.com/activation/selectdevice while logged in with your Tracfone account.
    • Text to TRANSFER to 611611
    • Contact Tracfone support via online chat or phone. Tracfone support isn't the greatest, but they can do this.
  • Dispose of a03 phone as you see fit.
    • One community member has reported that you can return the phones to QVC, get your money back, and keep the service. However, that is very YMMV - it very well may have been a mistake on QVC/Tracfone's part.
    • The a03 phone won't have much trade in value, but may be usable with some other deals that provide "bonus" trade in value (I.E. $100-more-than-it's-worth deals)
    • Best Buy [bestbuy.com] offers free tech recycling. Better than throwing it out where the lithium will be wasted and become an environmental hazard.

I haven't tried this, but I believe you can combine both plans into a single phone for two years service. It would require a support call.
  • Activate both phones, with two different numbers, on the same Tracfone account, with the same instructions as above.
  • Transfer one plan to your BYOD phone, with the instructions above.
  • Contact Tracfone support via online chat.
  • Use this script, provided by someone on HowardForums, which I haven't verified: https://www.howardforums.com/thre...t-17241085

That should put both plans on the same phone, providing two years of service with 1500/1500/1.5GB per month. YMMV.

Thanks! I'm not aware of current promo codes for QVC, but yes it's likely that additional discounts are available. Maybe other buyers can post what they found that works. This went Frontpage last time at $55 for one.

Instructions on how to harvest the plans for use on another phone has been posted to the community wiki for this post. If you are on Android, that link won't work - youll have to scroll up and expand the wiki.

The instructions might not be perfect - feel free to edit the wiki.

It seems like it's fairly likely that if you are buying this, you intend to harvest the plans and dump the phones. A 1yr/1500/1500/1.5MB plan card from tracfone costs over $120, so it's cheaper to take the phones and dump them than to buy cards.

For anyone who wants to repurpose these phones, they'd make decent makeshift dashcams (48MP) with the addition of a windshield mount ($9 on Amazon). Plus they come with a car charger, GPS, and MicroSD memory expansion slot. Might save your bacon if you get into a wreck with a liar.

As usual you're buying this for 2 years of service and not for the phones which are pitifully slow.

Can you activate the services whenever you want? So that you can activate one after other ends?
