Is It a Difficult Process to Transfer Phones With Tracfone.

I purchased a new Tracfone from QVC a few months ago and have been putting off having everything transferred from the old phone to the new one.

 

I do not have much knowledge when it comes to this type of thing.  Can you call Tracfone and they'll do everything for you, or do you still need to do some of the transfers of pictures, contacts, etc. on your own?   Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

It can be pretty easy. Since it's a Tracfone I'm assuming it's an Android phone. If so, then when you log into Google on your new phone it will transfer much of what you have on the old phone over. There are also transfer apps that you can install on both phones where you scan a QR code from one phone to the other and they transfer data from the old phone to the new one. It can all be done pretty easily and surprise you with how easy it all is. It can take a while, but it's not hard.

@BunSnoop I got a new one last year and it was by far the easiest transfer ever.  I just followed the prompts and done.  To make sure I emailed myself the pictures I wanted but google did everything for me.  If you don't have a google account with the phone you have now then you may not be able to transfer pictures and other stuff.

Ive never had my pictures transfer, even with the Transfer Wizard App, so I send them to myself in emails before I close down the old phone.
