Yes, just go to the Tracfone web site and enter the serial number. Don't forget to enter the code they give you. I just did this for my son and it was easy. This is triple min, so if you don't have that on your old phone wait to buy min until it's transferred.

Ours were not prepaid. Original one was bought at verizon store with a regular account. I accidentally washed it after like 8 to 10 years of use and had to replace it. Neither of the replacements were able to be activated although they had clear numbers. So we had to go out and buy a brand new phone as my husband needs it on the road.

When I purchased the phone I also purchased minutes to go with it and used it when activating. If any minutes were included, it was probably only a small amount. I would recommend purchasing minutes also. You can purchase a 60 minute card for about $20 and you get double minutes with this phone. (So you actually get 120 minutes.)

They do not charge as long as it is the prepaid network only. You can use the phone intermittently. Just keep in mind when purchase minutes, the minutes will only last the duration of the card you buy.

With my LG505c it came with a 200 minute card. When I activated the phone and added the minutes it rolled over to 600 minutes. Be sure to look for Tracfone promo minute codes.

none- just call tracfone or use their web site or the ap on the phone and you can purchase any amount from just a few minutes and a short time or for a lot of minutes and longer time period usually at least good for a yearetc. cards with time and instructions are also available at walmart- but the tracfone web site has better offers.

Prepaid is when you have gone to a store and bought a "prepaid card" and then call the number on the back of the card to install your minutes on a phone. They come in different denominations, but I learned for an android, it will only take a $50.00 card.

You can activate the phone online at tracfone.com or call the number included with the phone. You can buy your first installment of minutes at the same time. You need the serial number on the red card in the package. Good luck.

I think the question is whether you have to purchase the minutes either by phone or at the website to get the double minutes. The answer to this question is no. You can use a Tracfone card purchased anywhere, or even a PIN sent to your email by a reputable online seller. Your minutes will automatically double.

Yes you can, call the number that Tracfone gave you when you purchased your phone, and they will tell youwhat you need to do.

The phone is made to use as a "Pay as you go" phone that you can just purchase minutes for, but I purchased it for my daughter and added her to our AT&T account (different SIM card). So you can do either.

Prepaid service you pay for the minutes as you want them use them whenever you want

Yes, it is easy to do on tracfone website. I have changed phones several times and never lost minutes.

You have to buy minutes when they run out or when your time runs out. For example: I always buy the card that loads 400 minutes (which triples to 1200) card with 365 days of service. It's the best deal. Before one of those runs out you have to reload. I don't use my phone excessively so that card lasts me the full year before I have to reload. Hope this helps. Deb

If you mean by pre-paid as in do you have to pay before they send it to you, then yes. However, if you mean by pre-paid as in do you pre-pay for the minutes before you use it, then No. It is a Verizon contract phone.

You may be able to use prepaid minutes, but verify with your carrier. Because it is not a smart phone.
