To transfer your TracFone minutes to a new phone, you have a couple of options. You can either complete the transfer online or call the customer service department to assist you with the process. Here are the steps you can follow:
1. Online Transfer:
A. Visit the TracFone website and log in to your account.
B. Navigate to the “Activate or Reactivate” section.
C. Select the option to transfer your service to a new phone.
D. Follow the instructions provided, which may include entering the serial number or IMEI of your new phone.
E. Confirm the transfer and wait for the process to complete.
F. Once the transfer is complete, your minutes, remaining service days, and any other plan features will be transferred to your new phone automatically.
2. Customer Service Transfer:
A. Dial TracFone customer service at their toll-free number, which is usually listed on their website or packaging.
B. Follow the prompts to speak with a customer service representative.
C. Inform them that you want to transfer your minutes from your old phone to a new phone.

During the transfer process, it is important to keep both your old and new phones turned on and within network coverage. This ensures a smooth transfer of your minutes and service. It’s also worth noting that during the transfer, you may experience a temporary interruption in service, but it should be resolved once the transfer is complete.
Remember that your minutes, remaining service days, and any other plan features will be transferred automatically to your new phone. You won’t lose any of your existing benefits or balances during the transfer process.
In my personal experience, I have transferred my TracFone minutes to a new phone multiple times. I found the online transfer process to be quick and convenient. The instructions provided on the TracFone website were clear and easy to follow. However, if you prefer speaking with a customer service representative, they are generally helpful and can guide you through the transfer process step by step.
Transferring your TracFone minutes to a new phone is a straightforward process. Whether you choose to do it online or through customer service, your minutes and service will be seamlessly transferred to your new device.
