transfer minutes between phones

Yes, minutes will carry over to this phone. Used to have a very old Motorola & the unused minutes were added when I activated this phone.

MY understanding is that you can if it's a new phone but not between existing phones

Yes. You can easily transfer your old tracphone number, minutes, and days to the new phone. Just call the 800 number for tracphone, and a customer assistant will help you. I suggest you call from a landline, because it takes several minutes, and have both the old and new phones ready because you will need to do things to both.

Intresting question. What I do know as an example is tracfone divides minutes, so for example if you have 180 minutes, it's 180 talk, 180,text, 180 data.

Its a two line phone so all handsets have access to both lines. You can pick up either line on any handset, no need to transfer. I have not done it on this newer phone but on my previous version you could also conference the two lines together.

Yes, Tracfone does allow your number to be transferred during the setup. If your previous phone was a Tracfone, you can also transfer your minutes as well. It's best to go through the Tracfone website to setup your phone, otherwise you will be stuck with an East Indian operator.

Very easy to do. When you get your new phone, dial *228 (make sure your old phone is powered off)... Then it will ask you for the 10digit phone number you want to associate your new phone too - (this would be the cell number you are keeping). Once you do that, it programs and power resets. Then you should do the *228 again to update roaming capabilities. Phone should be good to use after that.Transfering contacts can be done over Bluetooth using the "send name card" feature.

You have to buy minutes, Unless you are transfering from another trac phone then any minutes you have left will transfer

I have no idea what you are asking with the above question. Everyone phone has a unique number - which is the account. You can put minutes on any account. You can ask for minutes from one account be rolled over to another account. This in effect would close that phone.

Yes...mine is Safelink service. You just gotta call them from another phone and they will tell you what changes to make on the phone and transfer your current balance of minutes over to this new phone. Also, make sure they have the text message function programmed properly on the new phone. When I first changed, it was charging me for texts when it shouldn't have because the proper changes weren't made when I first switched everything over.

Your contacts can be copied to your micro sd and then moved to the new device. Same as photo, music and ring tones.

I don't know. I use the Easy Minutes where I get 200 minutes automatically added per month for about $16. I had an old flip phone and transfered my minutes over from that. I would think the cards would work though.

you can do prepared minutes or just switch out the device with whatever device you already had. I believe it's only a $10 fee to switch.

I got a nominal amount of minutes with the purchase of this phone - just to get started. I believe it was twenty minutes. Then, double minutes as you add the time and minutes later.

only if the number you are transferring is an active number with carrier you are on now. It will take a few days to process, but check with your current cell provider.

No trouble for me. I went to the tracfone website to activate the new phone, and one of the choices was to transfer service from an existing tracfone. I had over 1400 minutes on the old phone, but they capped the transfer at 1100 minutes. All airtime days transferred. In addition, they stacked an extra 20 minutes and 60 days onto the transferred minutes, as a new activation. I had to enter a lot of numbers, felt like six 21-digit numbers, from the website onto the new phone, but did it slowly and checked my work before hitting OK, and it transferred fine.

Ok, here's the lowdown on how to get your minutes. Sign on to Google Play and then download the free app called Trac Phone My Account and that's all there is to it. It will show you how much time, days, text you have on the phone and also your phone's personal information.

On my plan the minutes do roll over, but like someone said, you should check with Virgin Mobile.
