These are great to activate a compatible phone on Tracfone. The kit comes with everything you need to activate either an AT&T, Verizon, or unlocked phone on Tracfone. The kit comes with all three sizes of SIM for both GSM (AT&T) or CDMA (Verizon). You can get these for three bucks at Sam's giant department store, but you have to order them from there too, and they take longer to arrive. Since it would just be crazy for Tracfone to sell their own product online, they don't sell these. That was sarcasm, by the way.
If you want to see if your phone is compatible, google Tracfone and BYOP. If you have a T-Mobile phone, ignore the button in the middle for T-Mobile. If you click it, it will say that your phone is compatible. Tracfone insists that you can buy a T-Mobile SIM from this link, and they insist that this very kit comes with a T-Mobile SIM, but it isn't true. If you have a T-Mobile phone, it won't work unless it's unlocked, then you use the AT&T SIM. As of this writing, Tracfone's website and their support both claim that you can use a locked T-Mobile phone, and that a T-Mobile SIM exists. But you can't. A Tracfone SIM for T-Mobile phones does not exist. Don't believe Tracfone. This kit does not include a SIM for T-Mobile phones. I've bought three kits, and none of them had this SIM.
Anyway, changing from a Tracfone to your own phone under BYOP is pretty painless. I've done it twice without issues. On a third phone, my minutes, texts, and data didn't transfer, but I called and they had it corrected in just a few minutes. It works great. If you order an unlocked phone from Amazon, half the time, there's a link under the phone to tack one of these kits on, so you get it with your phone.
9/9/2016 Update:
TF now does have a T-Mobile SIM on their website. Of course, right now, it's out of stock. I have no idea if the T-Mobile SIM is included in this kit or not.
