   You don’t need to cancel anything. I bought one, activated with the 30 day. Then I added another non unlimited plan, and the $50 one year of service days option. That worked for me. In that case I started with a new number.

   The combination of all the different tracfone plans and phones as well as BYOP vs Bought from Tracfone gets confusing, and I haven’t tried all the different combinations. I tend to rely on my own experience and encourage others to share their experiences here too. I don’t rely on the responses from Tracfone customer service as they can be inaccurate.

   You could buy that iPhone for $199. Use the promo code and save another 15% off the phone. When you get the iPhone, activate it from tracfone.com. When you Get to the part about getting a new number or transferring an existing number, choose existing number. Tracfone will recognize your existing number as being from tracfone and transfer your balance of minutes, texts, data, and service days as well as your current number. At this point the 30 day plan with unlimited talk should be applied on top of that. After 30 days, the unlimited talk and text should expire, and unused data from the 30 day should carry over to your balance. Moving forward, you phone should revert to your transferred balance.

   One commenter here said they never received the credit for the 30 day plan they bought with the phone when they transfered there number. I don’t know the resolution of that. Even if you eat the the lost of the 30 plan, you bought with the iPhone, you are still getting a fantastic deal here.

   I currently using a 360 day Tracfone smartphone card with my Moto e5.
   Can I buy a Iphone SE from Tracfone without purchasing a monthly plan and use the NOV25 discount?
   Thanks Paul

  Hey,
  smartphonematters.com is an independent website, it’s not owned or operated tracfone. This site has nothing to d with unlock codes.

   Do you know if a TracFone smartphone plan can be converted to the new unlimited carryover plan and keep the balance of data I already have?
