    Transferring Service to new phone - best way to do this?

    My son has a pixel 5a, but wants to upgrade to an s22.

    In the past, I have bought the TF BYOP kits from ebay, and then activated the new phone with a transfer of service and phone number from the old phone, and got it all combined with that extra year of service from the BYOP kit.

    Now I don't see those TF BYOP kits on ebay anymore. Has TF stopped selling these?

    If so, what's the best way to accomplish this? Ideally, we'd add a year of service and some minutes, data, texts also.

    Thanks a lot for any help with this!

    It's there still, it's just hard to find. https://www.ebay.com/itm/28505918955...Bk9SR9DCqvT0Yg But, it is for TF/Verizon service only.

    Oh wow, thanks a lot! Really appreciate that!

    So with that, I am assuming I can do it the traditional route, activating the new phone with that BYOP sim kit via chat, while also transferring his phone number and current service, correct?

    So the transfer with one of those ebay kits still works as it used to, and best done via chat?
