Update. The phone I was using, an older Alcatel idol 5s, apparently is no longer approved by T-Mobile. I had tried the sim in an AT&T g7 play, which...
Yeah, I also have the T-Mobile SIM, but hadn't used it in over a month and lost my number, which I didn't really care about -- but I thought with the...
Very strange! open and close TF app to check pending points, which usually show up within 30 seconds after the agent said the device was added. Maybe...
Yes, Visible only needs phone #, account #, zip code and NTP. (I usually don't have my name or address in my account.) The only time NTP didn't work...
I was able to renew my Gold Rewards account today, August 7, 2022. Some elements were baffling but then it worked out. I used a computer, not an app...
p.s. I usually chat during regular hours on weekdays... Probably a bad experience over the weekend or late evening, don't remember. (also one failed...
When I tried to port out a number a couple of weeks ago, the port-in carrier told me that I didn't have the right zip code. So I went to Chat and was...
All the phones came with service (365 days for Pure and 1-Month 8GB unlimited for TCL). I usually start with "I need help to add a Tracfone device to...

Nowadays, swapping a TF/Verizon SIM can cause problems. The best way is to get a BYOP TF SIM Kit for $1 at local Best Buy, Target, Family Dollar, or...
Yes my account number has changed it seems. That's the main reason I bumped my own thread... Normally we thought last 15 of sim is used for BYOP but...
Here is how the story ends. I had never realized that the three 'covers' in the Edge, which basically hold everything in, are actually antennas too....
Yes seems to be the answer. Furthermore, if you have multiple phones in one "account" (login ID), each phone has its own "account number" for porting...
I'm too lazy to look up what the letters IMEI stand for, but it's the serial number of the handset. You can find it in one of the menus, and also in...
No annoying emails for 5 days. Now my phone is unable to make or receive calls. Text and data work, but calls end immediately before I can answer or...
That second bullet point with the 1 at the end, look at the bottom of that same page from your screenshot, and see what it says in regards to the 1. ...
Like was said for total freedom to choose which carrier you want choose Factory Unlocked not Carrier Unlocked. Still it must be on carriers approved...
Also, maybe the Verizon SIM did not properly install the correct APN, in order to receive data. If the APN is either TRACFONE.VZWENTP or VZWINTERNET,...
