I received my new iPhone 14 Pro yesterday (moving from an iPhone 11 Pro). I have had a Tracfone Annual Renewal Plan for probably 7 years. I rarely use the "phone" functionality - just for emergencies - so that Plan has built up tons of minutes.

Yesterday I went to the Tracfone Website to Activate the transfer. It gets to the last step where I put in the IMEI2 Number and then the transfer fails - tried about 15 times. I have spent 4 hours total on the phone with Tracfone Tech Support and even they cannot get it to work? Yesterday, Tracfone finally told me to go locally and buy a Verizon SIM Kit and call back. I did that, and today they say to go back and buy a Verizon $40 SIM PLAN! I already have a Tracfone Plan paid through next May of 2023?

Has anyone successfully moved their Tracfone Plan to an iPhone 14 Pro?

Nope I have Safelink which is part of Tracfone no esim only physical I called CS multiple times CS reps said whats an esim? They transferred me to many different depts. I finally gave up and probably just keeping my 12 pro max I still have a headache from all that.
 
Could not get it to work either. Constantly gave a "please try again in a few minutes", and when contacting Tracfone support, they were completely unhelpful, and their escalation was also useless. I think I spent about 3 hours on the phone dealing with them. I give up on Tracfone.
