Can I put my sim card from my Tracfone in this Blu phone and be good to go or will I need to contact Tracfone to let them know I switched phones?

The phone is unlocked. You can you any sim card from any provider and you do not have to contact you phone provider.

I'm not sure about trac sims but I bought one from straight talk which was suppose to be compatible with the Blu phone but did not read sim. The phone would not recognize the SIM card.

No! The Terms of Service states that the SIM card cannot be swapped, even with other TracFone SIM cards. This phone is designed to work with TracFone only is designated areas. Be sure to check your zip code to see if it can activate in your region (zip code). At the time of purchase, it was approved for my region, now it isn't, am glad that I still get service. I guess that I'm grandfathered in.

You have to call tracfone and speak to an operator and tell them you are porting your number over. It also helps if you have a new tracfone card to add minutes to your new phone.

the sim card i used was from att so you can use a card from a different carrier as long as its supported by the phone. I think on the product page it tells you which phone services it supports.

Only if you buy a used one. And still you might have problems because Tracfone is sort of a mess, and CS almost never knows what they're doing But I have seen a lot of people get used Moto G's onto Tracfone with a bit of work.

I am not certain I now nothing of the TracFones. The phone..the LG can purchased and used with most plans..period. Only the provider can exclude phones based on their desire to have you buy their phone.....sorry I couldn't help.

Yes. It might result in a short lapse while Tracfone handles the changeover for you.

The phone is locked to AT&T; so you cannot use it you are currently with another carrier e.g. Verizon. If you are already an AT&T; GoPhone customer your phone number comes over to this new phone when you insert the SIM card from your old phone. Not sure what happens if you use a SIM from an AT&T; contract phone.

When you buy the sim card and they send it to you it comes with the phone number, so when you put it in your unlocked phone you are good to go. It works great - good luck.

I did try another SIM in it, and as others have said, it's locked. You can ask Tracfone for an unlock code, but there's no reason I can think of why they would do that, sorry to say.

ying if you already have phone with a simcard all you would have to do is transfer youre simcard from youre phone to the blu unlocked phone thats the beauty of it if you do not have a phone with a simcard. all you have to do is go to cell phone provider. aio.and get service from them . i did and walla it was working just like that.. but before i did that i already had service with airvoice wireles using there simcard on my old phone so wen i got my blu dash phone i tried my simcard from airvoice wireles and itttt worked. i use at&t towers. or team movil towers so the signal is good for me. hope this was helpfull. you can go to airvoice wireles.com and you can get there simcard service even on line just followed there steps. thats who i found to be the sheapest. they got a 10 dollar plan a 30 dollar plan and a 45 dollar plan and wen they tell you wish on you want thats what you pay no surprises. but as far as the blu dash it works beautifull....

Yes you can transfer any minutes and service time you have. Just go to the Tracfone website http://www.tracfone.com/ select "Activate" from the menu bar at the top then select transfer number from the drop down menu and follow directions. NOTE: Pay special attention to the amount of minutes indicated as being transferred. If the amount is less that what your phone indicates, call the Tracfone customer service number and explain the situation. They will walk you through the transfer but it is much more involved than if the minutes matched during the website transfer. Also it may take up to 24 hours to complete the transfer during which time neither the old or new phone will work. Yes you can transfer any minutes and service time you have.

As long as you have an active att account and you just want to change phones you can move your sim card and you will have all of the features including data that you had before. But if you didn't have data with your other phone you will have to add it.
