How to swap Tracfone phones

 1. Buy a TF BYOP SIM Kit that has a TF/VZW SIM. It's sold for $1 at many places online and locally.

2. Log into your TF account.
3. Click on "Activate" near the top of the screen.
4. Under "Keep Your Own Phone", click ACTIVATE.
5. Select "I want to keep my number" then type in your current TF number or select it from the pull-down box.
6. It will want to verify your identity by sending a text to your current TF. Enter the security code from the text message.
7. After that, just follow the instructions on the screen. I think it'll ask for the IMEI and SIM number of the new phone.
8. It should start the transfer process. Once the old phone quits working, the new one should be working.
