Activation Fees for Verizon Prepaid.

You will pay up to a $25 activation fee when you initialize your Prepaid Verizon Wireless cellphone. I initialized my Verizon Prepaid phone at a Verizon store and bought a $30 card at the same time. The individual that helped me did not charge me the fee. I spent $79.95 on the cellphone.

The Verizon Prepaid Basic Plan with 25 cents per minute with no daily access fee. The Verizon Basic plan is not a good value when you compare to other prepay plans.
Net10.com for 10 cents a minute or Tracfone.com. from 6.6 cents up to 33 cents a minute are much better available alternatives.

The Verizon Core Plan charges 99 cents per day access and calls are 10 cents per minute. Unlimited calls to other Verizon Wireless cell phones are free. I made use of theVerizon Core plan for several months, if your main phone calls are with Verizon Wireless users this can be a good deal.

The Plus Plan is $1.99 per day access and charges 5 cents per minute. In essence this will be the same as the Core plan with Unlimited Nites and Weekends added and you will only pay 5 cents per text to receive and send.

The Verizon Prepaid Unlimited Talk Plan offers Unlimited minutes and one-cent text messages for $3.99 per day.

Can I use my Alltel phone with Tracfone?

Even though many Tracfones use Alltel as their base network you cannot use an Alltel phone for Tracfone Service.

Can I Move my Phone Number to a Tracfone Phone?

Yes. It can take as little as ten minutes and up to seven days. Transferring a number can be a problem. Your previous company must release the number and then Tracfone has to get the cell phone company that will control your number to activate it. Tracfone does not have a cell tower network, they buy their service from most of the major cell phone companies in the US like At&t , Verizon, Alltel, US Cellular and T-Mobile.

Often the problem you have porting a number is not the fault of the company you are porting to but the company you are porting from. If you can just change to a new number I would not port my number. If your old number is important then have at it.

How do I check my minutes on my Tracfone?

If your minutes left do not show on your screen you can go to your menu and click on prepaid. Then scroll down to “Airtime info.” Both your airtime balance and Due date will show. You must add another Tracfone card to your phone before the Due Date to keep your service active. Even if you have minutes left you will need to add another card to keep your service active.

Tracfone Wireless Annual Mobile Phone Plan

Tracfone has two annual plans.

$100 Tracfone Annual Plan

They market a $100 annual unit card that you receive 400 minutes (800 with Double Minutes for Life. This card nearly always has bonus codes available which will in most cases allow you to receive an extra 200 to 400 additional units. Check here for the most recent Tracfone Bonus Coupon Codes. If you only get 800 minutes using this minute card it will only cost you 12.5 cent units and only $9 per month for phone service. monspin-030110.

$200 Tracfone Yearly Plan

Also available from Tracfone.com is a $200 yearly program. This unit card provides you with 1500 units (3000 with DMFL) and also a 12 months of service. With DMFL these units are 6.6 cents each plus your monthly cost is under $17 monthly.

The $200 Tracfone Annual Plan

The $200 annual Tracfone plan is the best deal in prepaid cell phones. No other Prepaid phone company offers twelve months of service to use the phone along with the low minute price of 6.6 cents a minute if you are using DMFL.

What is DMFL

Tracfone Wireless DMFL is Double Minutes for life of your phone. With DMFL you will receive double the minutes that are printed on the Tracfone Unit Card. This will work for as long as you use your cell phone. If you permit your service to lapse the DMFL will work when you reactivate your cell phone. I do not advocate ever adding units on a Tracfone that does not have Double minutes installed on the phone. Adding two DMFL cards will not get quadruple minutes.

Buy the Tracfone.com $200 Yearly plan and get one year of service and 3,000 minutes with DMFL. Please be sure you have DMFL installed Before adding the $200 card.
