Minutes on "old" tracfone not transferred to "new" tracfone

My "old" tracfone 719-217-**** died in early Aug 2020 and I bought a "new" tracfone and a 60-minute phone card on 8.28.20 and activated the "new" tracfone with the help of an online chat person, who gave the "new" tracfone the same phone number as the "old" tracfone (which I wanted.). The "old" tracfone had about 200 unused minutes remaining on it before it died in early Aug 2020. The 60-minute phone card (actually 120 minutes) was added to the "new" tracfone but the 200 minutes remaining on the "old" tracfone were not transferred to the "new" tracfone when I activated it (with the help of an online chat person.) When I activated the "new' tracfone I made a call and used up 99 minutes of the 120 minute phone card. I've had 3 online chats in the last 3 days and the result is the system does not show that the 200 minutes on the "old" tracfone have not been transferred to the "new" tracfone. Can you assist in transferring the 200 minutes from the 'old" tracfone to the 'new' tracfone? I've owned a tracfone for 5 or more years and have been very satisfied with the phone and service provided to date, which is why I bought a "new" tracfone to replace the "old" dead tracfone. The system knows that there are 200 minutes unused on the "old" tracfone. These minutes should be transferred to the "new" tracfone. Please help resolve this matter. Thank you. Judy Tangen

Tracfone has good service, but their website is not working. They would not publish the following review because it is too truthful, and an actual occurrence of what happened. Sort of like the liberal media covering up Biden's gaffe's: they seem them, they know he's...

Talked to rep jenmari?

Asked about interrupted conversation overseas by some Indian nationals.. according to her it's only an ad. Am I being charged for these ads.?. I even asked one of them but they answered with their own language. My conversation with this rep is futile,.. just keep going on circle no further explanation. I asked for supervisor but then got hanged up. How unprofessional...I dont have a problem dealing local but long distance, I always have a problem...

New phone to replace old one that wont work after January 2021

1.0
tried to activate new phone (serial # 356278****03274). transfer remaining minutes over from present outdated one to this new Doro one, but also purchase another 3 months. I do not want to purchase any more time until this new one is working. It does not work, I have tried several times to make a phone call. Keep getting a message that it is restricted. Your chat people don't help. Oscar and Antionette.
