Re: Guinness Record for Tracfone Activation?

@Kachina624 - That's very odd, because I've always used Transfer Wizard and it's always worked for me.

 

I wish I could offer some help, but I'm baffled as to why it wouldn't work for you, transferring from one Tracfone to another.

 

Did you find a different method of transferring things?

@Venezia   No, I just store my photos on one of those Picture Keeper drives.

Re: Guinness Record for Tracfone Activation?

@Kachina624    Some ideas:

 

-I never leave the Transfer Wizard stored on a phone because both apps must be the same. Is it possible one was an older version?

 

-Since TW allows you to choose which categories will be transferred, is it possible you accidentally unchecked photos and contacts?

 

-Did you put out Fig Newtons for the wizard? That's all he accepts.

When I transferred everything yesterday, only the Walmart and Wawa apps didn't transfer. I'm sure that's a security feature because those apps store your password.

@PickyPicky3   Good suggestion...I'll delete TW and reinstall it.  Will go buy Newtons.

Re: Guinness Record for Tracfone Activation?

TracFone is pretty ghetto if you ask me, also their phone choices are horrible.  I don't know why people even bother with them.  Unless you barely use a cell phone, TracFone is not the right choice for anyone!

Re: Guinness Record for Tracfone Activation?

Tracfone is perfect for me. Good reliable phones at a low price with good service. And I use my phone a lot. The Moto G Stylus phones are great and if you want a flagship phone you can buy an unlocked one and use it on TracFone. There are very few limitations on the phones you can buy and use on the service. I find TracFone to be largely trouble free and ideal for me.

In the activation process, an app called Samsung Switch came up for transferring data when both phones are Samsungs.    

 

Seems to make sense .... I think I'll use that.

Pretty ghetto?   It's obvious you don't have enough information about Tracfone to understand how well thought out the company -- and features -- are.

Not sure why you slipped the word ghetto into this thread, and! Contrary to your insulting opinion, I have used many different brand name cell phones, yes, all TracFones for close to 2 decades.

Since you don't seem to know "why people bother with them"! I am here to enlighten you. Find me another carrier where I can own my Very Smart Phone, with full Service, for the price of $4.16 per month. I'll be waiting for your reply!!!

It must be so nice to be able to speak for everyone!  News Flash! I speak for myself, and never use a pronoun when stating my opinion. I'm guessing, somewhere in your short number of years on earth, someone gave you the unauthorized authority, to speak for us all.

 

Happy now? 

I sure am.  =^..^=
