is it possible to transfer minutes from one prepaid phone to another of the same brand?

Question

if I have 2 nokia tracefones, one of which is active and has 479 minutes on it and another which is deactivated and has no minutes on it, is there a way I could activate the deactivated one and transfer some of the minutes from the active one to it? And if so how? Reason i am asking is because I am in college and my father just started staying with his mother this year since my mother moved to troy, NY, causing us to lose the house we had been living in...and I also have to stay with my father's mother when I am not on campus...but my father like always calls me from there a lot and we usually talk for awhile, and guess it uses my grandma's phone bill when he calls me, so she gets mad when he uses the phone, and so he wanted to know if I could give him this other tracefone, but it is deactivated and has no minutes. So I was just wondering if there is a way I could transfer minutes to it.

Also, I have another question...when someone calls you, does it use their phone bill,or does it use yours? the reason I am asking is because the cost for me to use the phone in the dorm is covered in room and board, so it would not matter if the cost went to me...but my father is always the one who calls me because I am afraid that if I call over to my grandma's house to talk to him my grandma will answer the phone and say something about me calling. So if he calls me does that mean that the cost is going to my grandma's phone bill? I really hope not because if the cost is going to her then she has to pay for it, so it may as well just be going to me since my cost is covered in room and board. And I know she is probably mad if she sees that her phone bill cost is going up...:-|

Answer 1

Yes it is possible. I had alot of time I paid for, plus a double minute card for a whole year! My phone started to quit, but when I called the 800 number for Tracfone, it's on the package, or you can get it from the website, they told me that it would be no problem to transfer all of the time, the card too.
www.tracfone.com should do it.

you need to be in a position to save each and every thing. because it really is GSM, the telephones are eant to be interchangable with any sim card, which signifies that the T-zones are on your sim. you may opt to study with T-cellular first even with the undeniable fact that, to make confident the phone doesnt want any particular firmware/application. The including minutes might want to no be a difficulty in any way because tmobile does no longer understand what telephone you've been dialing from besides, only the vast form and sim card linked with it. T-cellular is notoriously easygoing at the same time as it includes putting your card in yet another telephone. in truth, they may even unlock your tmobile telephone for you so that you'll put in a special cad after a particular era of time. you'll save some thing kept on your sim card which includes contacts. pictures or video clips may both be on your present day telephones inner memory or a memory card.
