You are always my first stop before I add minutes to my phone! Thanks.
Transferring apps from cell phone to your new phone can be done with Bluetooth, like you can transfer contacts. If that does not work, best to copy your apps to your SD card. Then load those apps on your new phone from the SD card.
You can get an unlocked ZTE Axon 7 Mini for 149.99 from Best Buy. You'll need a GSM Tracfone nano sim kit for it, which I believe runs on T-Mobile or AT&T towers... The good: 5.2 inch OLED screen, Stereo front-facing speakers, 32 GB storage, 3GB ram dual sim or sim/micro SD, Hi-Fi, Hi-Res audio Aluminum unibody construction, comes with Marshmallow installed 6.1.1, OTA update to Nougat is already out with Oreo as a future possibility, fingerprint scanner, NFC and Gorilla Glass 4 screen. Not so good: 16 MB camera is better than any previous Tracfone I have used, but not up to flagship level, Battery life after Nougat upgrade is much better, but still just gets me through a single day and only part of the next.
I got the European version even more cheaply from China, but I wish I had seen the Best Buy deal for an unlocked US version first. I would have happily spent the 25 extra bucks for the full warranty and support and US firmware. Still this phone is close to a flagship experience for what I paid. I really like mine a lot.

I read on another site (HSN) that even if you purchase a phone that says it comes with triple minutes, Tracfone has ended that program, and you will no longer be able to activate a new phone with triple minutes? Can anyone verify that, please? I trust this site so much when it comes to Tracfone info! Thank you.
Tracfone did end their Triple Minutes program. However, any phone that already has it, keeps it, and if a phone was advertised to come with Triple Minutes then it should still have it. Additionally, Tracfone seems to be running a promotion right now that gives Triple Minutes to any new phone activation.
I think that Tracfone was trying to phase out Triple Mins, but they realized consumers were really not happy about it so are trying to give it out again. Hope that helps!
