***************** adds Tracfone & Net10

**deathtrip** · 08-12-2011, 02:50 AM

Hello, just wanted to let the Net10 (and Tracfone) community know that ***************** has added the ability to check Net10 ESNs, MEIDs, and IMEIs instantly, for free!

No more calling Net10 to verify ESNs or IMEIs.

While the Net10 addition is new, you may experience bugs with the ESN Checker, so please report them to me if you do!

We will also be adding in Tracfone sometime this week, and the Net10 and Tracfone option will be under the same radio as Tracfone only, but the report will show which provider it's for.

Thanks to the community for all the support!

UPDATE: Tracfone now added, both Net10 and Tracfone can be checked using the Tracfone radio/tab on the website.

thank you....

Added Tracfone - edited initial post, and title.

Note: Running Tacfone and Net10 on the same tab will slow down the check response, but things should be pretty reliable now.

Awesome DT, Just Awesome. Keep up the great work. Tracfones are not byod friendly but you can buy sims thaat work on both N10/Trac online and knowing if the phone is clean or not helps greatly. Especially not having to deal with their horrid CS. N10 phones are especially useful because of their greater range of plans. Tracfones are going to get more popular as their line adds qwerty's , touchscreens and their new Triple Minutes for Life plan...

At the risk of sounding ignorant, what advantage is there to going to this website and checking my TF info?

Thanks in advance for the help in understanding.

If you buy a phone that you don't plan to activate until a later date, this will tell you if it's clean for activation. For instance, you might buy a phone from an eBay seller and checking the ESN will let you know if the phone is good. If your phone is already active, then you know it's good.

What triple minutes for life? um...I've only ever seen double minutes for life, which is one of those; 'when you buy the tracfone, make sure it has this feature already' things. But triple minutes?! Really? That's wonderful, if it's available to be bought separately, like the double minutes feature....this triple minute feature, what data is involved with that?

Just wondering, it says that my ESN is not clean for activation. Is that bad?

**deathtrip** · 09-10-2011, 08:54 AM

If it says the ESN is not clean, then that means the ESN is currently tied to another account and can not be used on a new/different account until it has been removed from the account it's tied to...

Piney.Boy didn't mention whether his phone was active or not, so I thought I should point out that any active phone will get that message. If your phone works, you don't have a problem.
The only phones that will be "clean" for activation are phones that are currently inactive and without problems.

It's a new promo availble at first on HSN offerings and now on (usually) higher end Tracfones. No TMFL cards are out yet. Idk if TMFL will permanently replace DMFL but it's made Tracfone much more relevant again. That and all the new qwerty and touchscreen phones. People clamored and Tracfone (actually) listened.

Check Esn is great but I have a problem. I checked an ESN # from a LG Optimus S. When typing in the esn on the site it comes back green and clean for activation. But when I called up Sprint to activate it they said its tied to an unpaid account and cant be activated. How could that be? If it was tied to an account or had a bad ESN wouldnt it come back Red and say "The ESN/MEID you provided is not clean for activation" or if it was stolen/lost it would come back red and say it has been reported lost or stolen? This ESN didnt come back as either it came back green and says "The ESN/MEID you provided is clean for activation".

I have a few other phones that are sprint phones that are coming back as clean and I wonder if they truly are clean? Im going to call Sprint tomorrow to check them and will let you know if the same thing happens or not.

Has this happened to anyone else where check esn says a phone is clean and then you try to activate it and sprint says it isnt?
