Does anyone know when the next Tracfone TSV on QVC or TS on HSN will be? I would like to upgrade my phone but want to wait for special pricing. Thanks!

Maybe around Christmas since they just had a Tracfone on about two weeks ago.

Earlier this week, I received an email from Tracfone with an offer to upgrade my phone andreceive triple minutes. I had an online chat with Tracfone and confirmed I would retain my triple minutes for life with a new phone. The offer is good till the end of the month.

The rep last week said the new phones don’t offer triple minutes, only your existing phone.

I just got the HSN LG Premiere Pro Tracfone and HSN said that would be their last Tracfone deal of the year. (It's a very nice phone by the way. I'm posting this from it.) I suspect QVC will sneak in another deal, but with the holidays coming up lots of airtime will go to decorations, entertaining, gifts, and food rather than personal electronics that are less likely to be given as gifts.

Garden man, I got that phone too.  Got my apps transfered, but after over 4 hours couldn’t get my # or data transferred.  It went back the next day.  The same phone is available on Straight Talk with a browser so that’s what I’m doing.  They have new plans too.  Really did like that phone, just not the customer service.

I couldn't activate my phone online, but it activated quickly when I used the automated phone system. Everything transferred over in less than an hour. I was expecting it to be nearly identical to my old LG Premiere but with just more memory, but it's much better. It's faster, has more features, and was a nice upgrade.

Where do you find the automated phone system?

There was a Tracfone Welcome Guide that came with the phone that had the number listed. It's claimed to be an "exclusive number" for those of us who purchased it from the other shopping channel. The number is 1-800-816-0663. The welcome guide includes a list of the other stuff (car charger, app pack flyer, etc.) that's included with the phone. I called that number, followed the prompts, and everything transferred with no trouble.
