How to transfer minutes from one tracfone to another

I agree with the other replies that it's not to difficult to transfer your remaining minutes/data to your friend's account. I've done this a couple of times when friends have given me their unwanted lines, and I can fill you in on the process.

But... as OzarkBeard mentions, the really big question that needs to be addressed first: Do you need to keep the phone number from your Tracfone line?

If you need/want to keep that number, it gets more complicated, possibly risky, and the process may cost $10-$15. If the value of the remaining service days/units is less than that, it may not be worth pursuing.

If you don't intend to keep your old Tracfone number, it's pretty simple but does require that your friend talk or Chat with customer service.

Yes. You can transfer the minutes and phone number into your new TracFone by going to the TracFone main page and clicking on the “Activate” tab. Then, select the option that you need (phone, SIM, or Bring Your Own Phone CDMA).

Moving minutes/text/data between two phones

Moving minutes/text/data between two phones

I have two phones on my TracFone account. Since both phones are now using Verizon's service and Verizon does not meet all of my cell phone needs, I will need to move one phone to another cell phone company. Can I add the unused minutes/text/data from the phone that will be leaving TracFone to the phone that will remain with TracFone?
