Tracfone Keep Your Own Phone CDMA Prepaid SIM Kit (Locked to Tracfone)

It worked well

The card works fine. The directions weren't very good. You need to keep your old SIM in the phone until everything is set up and then change the card. Or have 2 phones like I had.TracFone has gone down hill since Verizon bought it some months ago. I had to call TracFone tech support 4 times about not being able to receive calls and them taking away 2000 texts that I had available. They gave me back 1000 and I was just sick of calling them to get the other 1000 texts. None of this happened before Verizon bought them. I have had TracFone for years with no problems until now.Update 5/20 - I left Tracfone and went to Tello! Tello is a much nicer company. Tello's plans are as cheap as Tracfone's. And you have more choice.

Installed the SIM card for the "keep your own phone" option. Kit even says it's meant specifically for Tracfone service only. Went to their web site; enter your IMEI #; enter your SIM card #. Good news your phone is compatible, but you'll need a new SIM card. What? I just bought a SIM card. Remember? it's the one that says "keep your own phone" option kit. I tried it over and over with the same negative result.So!, I reluctantly called Tracfone cust. svc. him asking me the IMEI and SIM card #. Then in broken english, so sorry your phone isn't compatible. What?...the web site said my phone is compatible. No, sorry, your phone isn't compatible, it must have been a glitch. (Loser!)So! I ordered a "keep your own phone" option kit from the Tracfone web site, previously purchasing a service plan on the Walmart site.I went through set up again on Tracfone site and it worked, service was activated.I needed the service as there's a big huge "no service" area in and all around Jordan MT for AT&T/Cricket wireless. However, Tracfone has full coverage there.As mentioned, for me buying a SIM card kit on Amazon didn't work, maybe it has worked or will work for others.

I had a friend who was looking to cut their ATT bill drastically as I saw their bill so I suggested this company to them. We had to go to ATT to get the phone unlocked first of all.After the phone was unlocked, I needed the account information for ATT (account number pin etc) and then registered an account for them on the Tracfone site. Tracfone requested all the information to port over the number to their service and all that good stuff.Once the activation sequence completed I was told to wait a couple of hours. Within 1 hour the phone was working again and 5G appeared on the status icon at the top of the screen.You have to do a little bit of work to get this activated with the port in process but once it's completed it's pretty straight forward.

Got a new phone, was aware due to experience in the past you can't just swap sims from one phone into another even if both are tracfone, so got this and it worked and I got me old phone number switched over to be me new phone in minutes pretty much.Yay!

It caused me to move to a better service and keep my phone

Tracfone is ok if you have the time to deal with their sometimes shaky customer service.

Our TracFone stopped working. It's because it became unsupported. Updating this SIM card did the trick. It cost us about a buck... we were able to go online and transfer the SIM on the TracFone site... and 30 min's later... we were good to go. Pretty happy with now this went.
