If you compare the hsn and Amazon offers for the LG Rebel 3, hsn has a much better deal. I have bought 4 or 5 Tracfones from hsn and they always have the best airtime bundles.

I have been interested in the byop program for awhile. However, I don't really want to give up my triple minutes for life. Does anyone know if I can buy a cheap phone bundle from HSN and use the airtime card provided in the bundle on a completely different handset? Because that would be by far the cheapest way to get a year of airtime and about 1200 minutes, text, and web. Thanks if anyone knows!

When you buy a phone from hsn that has an airtime bundle you don't get an airtime card like you would buy in a store. You get promotional airtime that can only be activated on that handset.

Replying to anonymous ..... The HSN phones (at least the one I just bought) don't have an actual airtime card. They apply the minutes upon phone activation. I am not sure if there is a way around it. I bought LG Rebel 3, and activated online with chat service at tracfone.com. The airtime was applied at activation and transferred my existing text/minutes/data to the new phone.
Anonymous: Some SIM kits sold back in the day are TMFL but not many are around anymore. Check eBay or Amazon and you may find them but they may cost more than what the going price is going.

I can afford a hundred to 120$ iPhone 6. I'd like to bring it over to SafeLink as I'm a customer. Should I get any particular for the 01002 Zip, 413 area code? (My house/area is an actual 'dead zone'. Neighbors come abt 15 ft off of my frnt door to use their phones).
Thank you, you got a G R E A T service here! - -Chad
I am rather dismayed. It has taken 4 calls to get my service plan transferred to my new phone. And with the message you most recently sent me it is not my old plan. If you can't provide the old plan, just say so. Don't work me through long, convoluted phone calls and not provide the change. All service reps have been wonderfully polite and, in the long run, very helpful. They tell me the old plan has "now" been transferred. But it does not seem so. What they tell me I have is triple minutes, $19.99 plus tax billed quarterly, automatic refill. This does not add up to $125 per year. It just doesn't. Can you please confirm in writing what my plan honestly is? Thank you very much for your time and help.
Under "Best deal on prepaid minutes" you mention that the 365 service days for $49.99 is no longer available but is. I just purchased it. Under Buy airtime go to addon's and i checked $10.00 for 1 GB data. At the checkout page at the bottom under "More for your device" is the 365 extra service days for $49.99.

Your specs on the Samsung Galaxy J3 Luna Pro are wrong. The Luna Pro has a 5 inch screen and 1.5GB of RAM, not 5.5 inch screen and 2GB of RAM.
