TracFone: Real cell phone costs

[greyfan53]

Tracfone has what everyone wants in a cellphone. No contract, double minutes for life, a reliable cellphone company and savings. I was saving the moment I switched to Tracfone. Tracfone is sold almost in every store .  Ask around like I did and you will here positive comments and replies about Tracfone.

[flamingo537]

@MathewVlog Tracfone is known as the lowest out of pocket cost plan which costs only $6.66/month ie: $19.99 for Tracfone's cheapest plan/90 days/120 minutes(if your phone has the 'double minutes for the life of the phone' plan. Plus you use the promocode off the phone card or off the net gives you an extra free 20 -40 minutes depending on the code. So you can end up with at least 140 minutes for $19.99 = 14.2c/minute not 33c/min. Tracfoneans know how to get best value for their plan.

[toenail37]

@flamingo537 I see you uploaded videos for Net 10 which is a division of Tracfone and write positive comments on Tracfone videos. How much does Tracfone pay you?

[MathewVlog]

Tracfone is not inexpensive like they claim. It may be inexpensive to people who rarely use their phone. I used to have Tracfone, $20 airtime card came with 60 minutes...that's 33 cents a minute folks! I brought that same amount of money to Boost Mobile and received 200 minutes (Boost Mobile has 10 cents a minute).

Tracfone's customer service was also non existent (at least, it should be) since they had a heavy accent and always had to "update their supervisor" and many more.

[flamingo537]

@MultiTeebag, Boost mobile have much less coverage than Tracfone as Tracfone uses the 3 best networks ie: Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile to get coverage and reception. At the end of the day you're paying for a good quality reception and coverage wherever you go to get value for money. You don't want a Boost phone that only works in some areas and not others.

[MultiTeebag]

boostmobile is better  no contract $50.00 unlimited

web text and talk and you can watch you tube on it.

oh I have a trac phone to it sucks

[rebeccabee77]

It's true though, not having a contract is so liberating. I travel outside of the country loads and I absolutely hate paying for something that i'm not using. I like the idea that if i'm away for a few months, I don't have to stress about bills. It just makes it all easy going :)

[MsSnowWhite37]

@mnrdmnrd You couldn't be more right about Tracfone working everywhere - they use both Verizon and ATT towers for service all over the country. I think it depends on actually what part of the country you are in. I know the aircard uploads are everywhere though.

[robbybananas]

Nothing beats TracFone's offers, people! I got myself a LG 420G bundle from the TracFone website, it came with a Free Accessory Kit, free Double minutes for Life, and a free $10 gift card for just $19.99. All with free shipping and handling. It's on their website, just go there and see for yourself.

[mnrdmnrd]

Tracfone works everywhere, they are inexpensive and you dont need to sign a contract with them, its all prepaid which is a double bonus. There is rarely bad reception and you don't have to pay for what you don't use. Its just a smart way nowadays to save money.

[ConnorMom1]

Tracfone is an awesome deal for college students. You buy the minutes you need and only that. You don't have to worry about any extra fees (activation overage or cancellation) which means that you don't have to worry about paying an arm and a leg for your monthly cell phone. Great for college students or anyone on a budget.

[jonathanbr77]

I change phones alot, because i always feel done-in-by with deals that are suppose to be the best, well with this phone it really is the best and Tracfone has great coverage and low prepaid rates! Im a happy customer

[DrCarter54]

Tracfone is a great phone company and i really appreciate the service. Tracfone has kept me on track in 2010 and will do the same in 2011.

[poppinnodroppin]

Very nice video. I can really relate to what is going on here. Tracfone is one of those phone companies that cares about its customers. How do I know? I have a Tracfone and hardly pay anything at all to use the phone.

[MegaBuster20]

Tracfone seems to be a good proposition for any cellphone user. I have had mine for over a year and have had no problems, and that is what I want, just something that works and that I don't have to think about. In addition, the price is excellent

[mimilulu24]

Of course is a real customer. I can't believe why personas want to spend hundreds for their cellphone use when you can have Tracfone for a very low cost, and the minutes according to the use. I use it for my home base business and can't complain. By the best offer in cellphones and economical. Tracfone. Happy Holidays!

[chickeeparadise]

@mimilulu24 There is no need to spend hundreds on a phone or contract for it. Tracfone has been around for a long time and that says something about the company. I don't think people realize how easy and convenient it is to take care of. If you're looking for phones with basic functions this is for you. You pick your phone, plan, and you're ready to go. No activation or cancellation fees are charged. You can add airtime whenever you want right on your phone. Great international rates as well.

[shrubina]

no, hardly anybody likes contract no more, the only drawcard on contract seems to be the phones they give you with your contract. i am with tracfone prepaid, love my cheap phone and the fact that i have no longterm commitment, no overages or hidden fees. instead i can make international calls at local rates, have double minutes for life and therefore very little cost per minute and a very nice phone that just does it's job of connecting me with family and friends. total tracfone fan

[62bumblebee]

@shrubina I'm too confused by all the new phones like you need to get lessons to use them so I'll stick with my trusty Tracfone and keep on saving money! What you say is too much of true and I free incoming texts is big savings too! Christmas day I'm calling all my friends and family to say "Happy Holidays"

[poshiedog]

Tracfone are the biggest and the best in the prepaid field and I've been with them for years! The coverage is great and the phones get better and better all the time. I save a fortune with free incoming texts, same price overseas calls and double minutes for life and I am a happy Tracfone user!

[debsumm]

Being on Tracfone means I get to call all my family overseas...and boy are there lots of them...at the same per minute rate as calls in the US which is a huge bonus at Christmas time as we are all very close and love to catch up with news! Free incoming text is also a great money saver so I'm in for happy holidays!

[grakath]

yes, now that i experienced life how much cheaper and better prepaid is with tracfone i am also totally against contract. no longer see the advantage in having one, but plenty disadvantages like hidden fees and nasty surprises at month end. with tracfone prepaid i pay less than $30 a month for the whole family, can make international calls at local rates, pay no roaming fees and have free 411 calls. i mean why on earth would anyone still want to be on contract ?????for fancy phone???no thanks

[RukongaiZX]

fake ass comments

[wellinda54]

i am a tracfone fan and i pay $22 a month on the family plan. for real $22 a month. i save about $70 a month since i did the switch, sometimes i have to load more airtime to get to monthend, but most the time the 50 minutes i get are sufficient, after using them i check my husband's phone and if he is also out, yes sometimes i have to spend more. but genereally we all get by on $22 a month and that is incredible. on contract we had a lot more costs, hidden fees, and never really knew what for

[pebblesjames]

After 15 years of paying hefty contract and wasteful upgrade bills, I am extremely happy to now be a part of the Tracfone family. What a difference it has made in my daily life, not to mention the money I'm saving. I recommend this company to anyone thinking of ditching their contract

[nat6931]

I can see why people might be hesitant about prepaid phones. As far as prepaid goes, I think TracFone is a great choice - not to mention a great moneysaver. I was tried of contracts and too expensive phones so it was nice to lower my bill, avoid a contract, and purchase a new phone for under $60. For me, maintaining a budget so I'm ready for the holidays is a big plus.

[nvanalden]

How much does your cellphone really cost anyway? A lot less than contract carriers would like you to think. This holiday season, you can get the Double Minutes for Life card for only 20 bucks which is 30 bucks cheaper than usual and helps you save even more money in the long run.

[dagie1000]

i am with tracfone myself and have totally fallen in love with it. tracfone prepaid is just the best thing i have come across in quite a while. i have the $29.99 plan for myself, which serves it's purpose and my needs very well, and for my dad who unfortunatley has to fend for himself since my mom died last year, i organised the senior value plan from tracfone for $7 a month, and with tracfone's 911 emergency location assist, he is also better looked after now. tracfone has a plan for everyone

[devilish560]

great comments all the way, and all have something valid to say about tracfone. i agree with all of them. i use $29.99 a month, have a nice cheap phone, the samsung t301 g with camera and bluetooth and double minutes for llife, i save huge since i changed over to tracfone prepaid from contract and am sure i will never go back to it or it's hiddeous charges. with tracfone prepaid i am in control of my spendings, have no longterm commitment, great nationwide cover and simply love it

[smittench]

with tracfone my needs are also served very well, no commitment, no exorbitant bills, no cancellation or activation fees, not even roaming fees.prepaid is the best cellphone plan idea, with contract i never knew what hit me at month end. so nice to finally be in charge of my cellphone spendings, and with the double minutes for life option i save real big money every time i get more airtime.now i found out they have a plan especially for seniors, and am planning to get that for my parents.

[windyshores1]

Tracfone is so great because you can see your balance of talk minutes & service days on the phone & you can control your costs more efficiently this way. How anyone could actually want to be in a contract for 2 years & be in the clutches of a company who is only after your money just because they can get a fancy phone for free defies logic. Contracts charge ridiculous extra charges, you don't know how much talk time you're running up in order for you to control your bill.

[Gijoeextreme]

I originally got a Tracfone to use strictly as a backup. After a while I gave it to my father and bought another one. It was so cheap even he didnt mind paying less than $20 a month on a phone bill. With no contract, it was even better. He was very surprised.

[francopixy]

same here, i will never go back to contract, can't see any reason why i should. the only plus point in having a contract is the fact that they give you a free phone. but the negative points are just so many/. long term commitment, permanent overages, hidden costs and hassles. with tracfone prepaid i am so much happier and richer. so glad i decided to switch to tracfone prepaid. i pay $29.99 a month and all is sorted. i have a great phone and no worries about the month end bill no more

[laylathful]

these people are all so right, tracfone has the best deals to offer. and prepaid is the way to go, so much cheaper than any contract phone usage, and being in charge of my monthly cellphone spendings, means freedom and peace of mind. no more worries about the bill at month end, allways knowing where i am with my cellphone spendings is simply great. i am a student and need to think twice what money i spent for what, and with tracfone i know every cent is being spent wisely

[Omarillio]

I've got one more addition to the family with cellphones this year. Needless to say it's a traditional hand me down, but it does leave a blank spot somewhere. Usually me, as I hand mine down too. That's all of five tracfones in the family now, and the family value plan is what's helping me do it.

[islay263]

@Omarillio Go have a look at the new phones in the Tracfone line up....you'll be glad you handed yours down....the phones get better and better and in these hard times surprisingly cheaper and cheaper! I dunno how TF does it but with double minutes, free incoming texts and overseas calls the same as local I sure save a lot of money!

[rbaylis75]

Well Christmas is here again and Santa is on his way to our house laden with Tracfones....one each for everyone including grand- parents, aunts and uncles and kids! It was painless gift shopping this year....I got the lot at Wal-mart along with the turkey and ham.and the party favours!

[poshiedog]

Never again will I have a cell phone contract....I used to dread month end when the mailman brought the bill....it was always a shock and more than I expected! Now with Tracfone I have a problem free cell phone...great coverage, no bills, and great savings with double minutes for life and free incoming texts!

[savetherhino1]

I like getting my minutes sent to me automatically every month sometimes which is why I use the Individual plan that costs $9.99/month for 50 minutes. I just register with my credit card, and there are no cancellation fees or extra hidden charges involved. I would never think about using a contract again, why would I want to be controlled by a corporation for 2 years forcing me to use their services. over that period?

[NonaLoco]

Tracfone really is great, i agree with everything these guys are saying. Actually to prove it- I went and bought my two kids $8 tracfones so they could text me whenever, but especially if their in danger or on the way back from school...

[KWLPJ]

I agree...with Tracfone, you can budget upfront for what you can afford and don't end up wondering at the end of the month how you're going to pay the bill. They have no hidden costs, so what you see is what you get and in my opinion, I see a really good and affordable deal.
