I had 4 in my house and was able to use 2 of them on my new Motorola phone.  Too bad I couldn't get any further in the set up process after charging it for my new Motorola because the person I got when I called to activate and set it up had a heavy foreign accent, and I have a heavy Southern accent, so neither one of us could understand the other!!! Plus the fact that I cannot hear well, made everything even tougher!!  So my new phone is lying on the table not activated, not set up, not used.

Why can't you get it activated?

Have set all my Tracfones up online. Had Tracfone for about 10 years, and just as many new phones. Time expires, I buy a new phone, cheaper! Most of them were Samsung, including my present one. It is a Samsung A02s.

Omg!  @jquiltlady, I just ordered that phone from HSN yesterday.  Didn't realize that it had no home charger.  Oh, well.  I'll just have to order one if none of these laying around don't fit.  Some things you just assume and therein is a mistake to make.

Oh, fantastic, @CatsyClin. I tried to cancel this morning but it was already in process.  In fact UPS has already sent me a notification that it will be here Friday.

 

Thanks for the reassurance.

Well, I received my phone yesterday and there is a wall connector with it.  The problem is when I called to activate it, it didn't activate.  But my account shows that my minutes rolled over....to somewhere.  Now my old phone is deactivated but the new phone isn't.  As it happens, my AT&T land phone hasn't worked for weeks although due for repair today.  So as of yesterday, I have no operable phone.  Tracfone online chat isn't working either.  Unbelievable.
