Re: Teach me and tell me about Tracfones!
Does anyone here actually have a TracFone?
No? - Well I do and it is by far the easiest setup...
I bought a Motorola V170, (US$50), bought a 1 year card (with double minutes) for $99.
Activated via a landline phone. It just works. No strings, no fees, no minute fees, no monthly usage fees. To reload, I buy a card at walmart (usually 120 units/minutes for $29.99), by the time I get to my car, I go to the menu item "Add minutes", type in (1) 15 digit number, within about 2 minutes, the additional minutes show up..
How can anything be easier?... I love the no-worry, no bills, no fees. I have been using this as my primary phone for about a year now.. And I do get messages from TracFone about getting double minutes occassionally and save more, if I happen to need them at the time. I have travelled across state lines and still only have seen 1unit/minute charges even when roaming, so I can't speak to that specifically.
So this is from an actual user, not the friend of a friend, or a salesperson.
