Wow! That's a deal! It would be even better IF it can be added to an existing TF line!

Bought one. Will let you know if I can do a transfer. I appears that the sim comes preloaded so there is no card to add.

I'm also curious if it can be added to a existing BYOP sim. I also have triple minutes and want to know if I get to keep them if I add this card.

I would assume it's like the preloaded phones, only airtime tied to SIM number instead of IMEI.

Should be able to transfer existing account at activation like usual. (Yes you'd loose TMFL in such a transfer, same as with HSN bundles)

Have to assume the Verizon sim will still need an IMEI entered like always since Verizon requires that.


I wonder what you get if you select "Not sure" for the carrier.

[balloonshark]

Thanks ST Dog. Loosing my TMFL doesn't sound wise so I guess I should pass.

Maybe those that select "not sure" get a universal sim kit with all three carriers.

I wondered the same thing. I sent them a message asking what you get if you choose "not sure" but, so far, no response. I chose the AT&T option because I want to move one phone from Verizon to AT&T anyway. My big question is whether this TF provided sim is treated like a BYOP or TF sim and will be offered the $49 one year option.

That would create a logistic problem for TF. Which of the 3 SIMs will be preloaded with the units/days? If all of them, somebody will try to use all 3 SIMs and the preloaded units/days. If none of them, then TF will have to keep track of all 3 SIM numbers so the units/days can be added when one of them is activated.

I think it'll be treated as a BYOP because there isn't an IMEI of a TF-branded phone tied to the SIM.

Yup, I'm guessing that will be the case.

TMFL is small thing compared to what is offered. It's not really great deal for most now.

Excellent deal and why I love GV!

I guess you're right. I think I payed like $85 on Tracfone's site for a 30 or 90 day card plus a 1 year card. Thanks again :-)

THIS IS SAID TO BE A LIMITED TIME PROMOTION! The price may be what is limited time.

According to one comment on SD https://slickdeals.net/f/13086946-eb...#post127581994 this adds to existing account? Is it as simple as just activating with existing number and switching SIMs?
