I've climbed a cellphone tower
As a "TF mind experiment", I was idly thinking if this would be possible to do:
Buy a cheap HSN bundle. Also buy a good phone separately.
Then get on Chat and ask the rep to activate the good phone with a transfer from the HSN bundle.
Would this be possible? It would be great if it can be pulled off!

1 was referring bundle 2 as the 2nd phone in the bundle.

The (good) 2nd phone can be with or without a bundled service. Buy phone 1 must be activated first (as a new line or with a transfer from an existing line) to get the bundled service. Then the 2nd phone can be activated with a transfer from phone 1. It's done all the time.

Theres 3 phones involved here.
I believe, the outcome, is for the good phone to have 3000/3000/3.? gb or
2400/2400/2.? gb

The OP posted "Buy a cheap HSN bundle. Also buy a good phone separately". How did you come up with 3 phones?

You have a different understanding of "bundle" than I do then. To me, a "bundle" phone is a single phone that comes bundled with airtime units and days.

Of course it's possible to do this, and it doesn't even require Chat! What was I thinking when I posted this!

Yes, this is easy to do.
1. You will need a SIM for good phone.
2. Activate bundle phone as-is to receive the service time and service units. You can do this with or without porting a number. Verify that your account shows the correct service time and service units and the phone/phone number works for talk, text, and data.
3. The next day or later, activate the good phone with the new SIM and and with a transfer from the bundle phone.
You will have to keep the bundle phone active for 60 days to get it unlocked from Tracfone.

I'm typing this out for my own sanity more than anything. lol
1: Buy $40 phone bundle from HSN (I have a $15 off coupon so in the end its $25 for phone/1500min 1 year plan)
2: Activate HSN bundle bucket
3: Transfer bucket to Iphone
4: once 60 days passes Unlock Iphone to sell and then transfer the remaining bucket to my main line.
So to unlock my recent Iphone 11 to get a better trade in value I need it to have 60 days of service. I can do that with a Target 90 day plan for $20 or I could go this route for an extra $5 and a little more legwork but will still have some value left over.

For an extra $5, your going to get a lot more

No chat needed, activate the 11 keeping the HSN number.

I’l add, if you want to keep the HSN, and unlock, then its Target

Okay, now this is getting really weird.
I got another PM from AlexTrac, and this time again, Alex PM'd me the exact same thing that hpham wrote!!
This is the second time this has happened. The last time this happened - in a different thread - poor hpham had to prove he wasn't a bot! I wonder what kind of mischief AlexTrac is trying to brew on this forum by repeatedly doing this.
