I have been using a Motorola W376g with Tracfone for several years and it is a great phone. However I am at the point that I would like a phone with a MP3 player and a video recorder as well as the feactures in the W376g such as the Motorol W408g, but Tracfone does not have this phone. I am considering switching to AT&T GoPhone $2 a day plan for unlimited text and unlimited talk.
I've used a variety of prepaid services, and Tracphone has been the best by a long shot. If I ever have an issue, I can call anytime of the day and have a person answer my questions. On top of it all the service isn't spotty like it is with most prepaid companies. Tracphone has saved me a lot of money and provided all I needed in a phone carrier.
It's a pretty cool phone. It's the one I got about two months ago. Unfortunately for me, I didn't take into reckoning that the phone only runs on GSM. I need CDMA being a bit of a traveller. Fortunately, my daughter doesn't care, and seems to think I thought of getting her a phone all on my own.
I have this phone and hate it. I love tracfone because they are the cheapest, but I hate this phone. When texting there is a delay between pressing the buttons and when the letters appear on the screen. So if you text really fast, the phone will lag behind and actually put the wrong letters in. Its so frustrating. Plus the battery lasts only about 2 days on stand-by. Im going to go back to older v170 for the tactile keys and free incoming texts. That phone has a bad battery too though.
I bought this phone for my son for Christmas last year and it has been incredibly helpful. He is always able to get hold of me no matter where he is. With Tracfone for every minute that I purchase for his phone he gets one free. That is when I buy a 60min card he actually gets 120min. This phone has really lasted well and still is like new
The motorla w376 has been an ideal phone for me. I only have this phone for emergencies when I am on the road. Offering minutes for free is really a bonus as well. If I purchase 60 minutes I will get 120 minutes and this is really a good deal
damit how the hell is this supose to show me how to activate a tracfone and tell those idiots to quit hating on your video. anyways please make a vid on how to instal the sim and activate or just message me back and explaine plz this is anoying i hate these phones but ya plz tell me how to activate retarded tracfone
Man but I hate modern packaging but if it contained a Tracfone I'd use my teeth if I had to especially if it had the Samsung Finesse in it!!! Prepaid phones used to be tacky but the Finesse is awesome and the double your minutes and free incoming texts are a huge bonus!
Ha ha sucker got same phone online from tracfone with 60 min already on it and double min for life for only 19.99 plus free next day shipping no promos and not on sale so target ripped u off!
hi how's it going, you mentioned that you could remove the web access shortcut key, so you dont have to accidentally press it. could you help me do the same thing on my phone.

I HATE TRACFONE!!! IT IS THE WORST SERVICE EVER NOT TO MENTION THE BED PHONES. DO NOT GET THIS PHONE YOU WILL NOT GET WHAT YOU WANT. gET ANYTHING ELSE BUT TRACFONE (im just warning you its my free opinion)
"gET ANYTHING ELSE BUT TRACFONE & THE BED PHONES."
MAYBE you should learn how to type before you share your opinion. The quality of your typing can effect how people see your opinion. Tracfones aren't that bad, they have good quality and durability. Even dropping it in a lake can't really hurt a Tracfone. I really recommend it as a starter phone and for people that wouldn't use a cell phone as much...
Oh Ok! Just wondering, Cool phone you got there!, I have a Tracfone too, and I use it for texting mostly, I forgot what model it is, what It cost me $9.99....I dont what you have, Like A radio or the Lantern feature...Bummer, But Oh well!, Its a nice phone...and I got the double minutes feature too! =)
Depends on where in Europe. Most of Europe is available for the same cost in units as calling your neighbor next door. This is of course with the phone making a call from the US. It doesn't work outside of the US.
What exactly was the point of getting a tracfone JUST to kinda text and use it if you already have a phone that is TWICE AS CAPABLE as doing the exact same thing? What the fudge?!
i have the new samsung t301g its 50 bucks and it has more stuff its worth it! it has double minutes, camera,text bluetooth, caller id, Vice recorder and much more kool stuff. Be sure to check out my vids!
i'm assuming you're talking about the Verizon Voyager. That name was already copyrighted for the Voyager ear piece so now the phone is called the "enV Touch," which is the Voyagers successor. Unless you have an old one lying around. Hope I cleared that up with you!
Yes the qwerty is awesome. I would want to the htc touch pro, but it costs extra because I go on the web. I like the voyager. Tomorrow is when I get it.
i might check the diamond up once my plans up, but that's in march so who knows what crazy phone's going to be out on verizion by then. plus apple and att contract for the iphone is up in 2010 i think so that'd be sick if verizon got it.
