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.

Verizon Wireless provides one of the biggest and most reliable cellular networks in the nation. Verizon Wireless also offers prepay Wireless services. Here is the Logo that we all connect with “Can you Hear Me Now.”

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 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.

Famous Quotes

Because power corrupts, society’s demands for moral authority and character increase as the importance of the position increases.
John Adams

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.

With either of these programs when you run out of Tracfone minutes before the year is over you are able to add extra units by just buying another phone minute card. Get $3 purchase discount on any Tracfone cell phone or accessory $19.99 or more using coupon code 23444

Motorola Razr and Tracfone Motorola W376

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.

Do Not Purchase a Double Minutes for Life Card

If your Tracfone does not have Double Minutes for Life on it you are better off to get a new Tracfone prepaid cellphone with DMFL installed rather than to spend $20 for a DMFL card. Ordinarily you are able to purchase a fresh Tracfone with DMFL for the same price or less than the price of a Double Minutes for Life card.

Do Not Purchase a Tracfone

Do not buy a Tracfone that does not have DMFL already installed. It is cheaper to purchase a Net10 wireless phone than it is to buy a typical Track Phone and add a Double Minutes for Life card. When you compare buying a Tracfone to purchasing a Net10 wireless cellphone remember to subtract $30 from the cost of the Net 10 cellphone since it comes with Three hundred units and the Tracfone will not.

The Double Minutes for Life plan brings the purchase price of the minutes to about what you will spend with Net10 prepaid.

Half Price Text Messaging

Your text messaging will cost half with Double Minutes for Life additionally. Many Tracfones charge .3 units per text message both to receive and send. When you buy your minutes with DMFL your texts will be half price additionally. Some Tracfone prepay models charge .5 units to send and receive.

So Should you Quit your Cell Phone Contract?

If your contract is over $45 a month and you can get out of it without paying a large end of contract charge then the answer is yes.   If you are not a heavy user of a phone and the $30 a month plan will work for you then you should also change to Straight Talk.  The $30 “All You Need” plan is a way better deal than most contracts that start you out with 400 monthly minutes and at least a $40 a month charge after taxes.

For most people one of the Straight Talk monthly plans will be the best value Cell Phone service available.

Straight Talk is a Very Low Cost Unlimited service and a very high value $30 a month service . Straight Talk only has two options which you can change between on a monthly basis.

If you are spending $30 a month or more on your cell phone the best deal available is the Straight Talk “All You Need” plan that gives you 1,000 minutes and 1,000 texts, 30 meg of data and unlimited 411 calls.

Minutes  and Activation time Roll-over with Tracfone.

Tracfone.com has a DMFL (double minutes for life) option you can purchase for your phone usually $25 or $50.  This doubles your minutes on every card you put in your phone for the life of the phone.  Many Tracfone Phones come with DMFL already installed on the phone.  Never add minutes to a Non-DMFL Tracfone phone. The minutes are way too expensive.

Straight Talk vs Tracfone Prepaid Wireless Plan Advantages
$30 a month plan gives you 1,000 minutes, 1,000 text messages, 30 megabite of data er month.  No charge for 411 calls.  3.3 cents a minute not counting the text and data.  Minutes do not roll over on this pay as you go system.

$45 Unlimited plan with Unlimited text and Unlimited data.  No charge for 411 calls.  There is no other Nationwide calling plan that comes close to matching this plan.

Nicer phones are available from Straight Talk than  Tracfone.  Although many of the same phones are available from both companies.  Always figure the cost of adding in DMFL to your Tracfone when you are comparing prices.

Can I use a Tracfone or Verizon phone with Straight Talk Service?
No the only phones that will work with this service are from Straight Talk.  Currently they have six models starting at $30 and going up to the Samsung Finesse at $330.

All Straight Talk phones use the Verizon Network for making calls.

Can I use my Tracfone or Verizon Phone with Straight Talk Service?
No you will only be able to use a Straight Talk phone for their service.  Even though the service works on the Verizon tower network and is managed by Tracfone you can only use a Straight Talk phone with their service.

Summary The Plan I would Buy Depends on My Usage

I would choose the Tracfone.com plan.  I do not use a lot of minutes and my favorite plan is the $200 3,000 minute plan from Tracfone.  My usage is all over the map, some months I don’t use more than a hundred minutes and some months I will use four or five hundred.  I am almost always around a land line to talk on so my cell phone is more for messages.

If I used all of my 3,000 minutes in seven months it would be the same as me buying the $30 Straight Talk cards every month.    Seven months at $30 equals $210.  If I am able to stretch the 3,000 minute Tracfone plan for more than seven months I am getting cheaper cell phone service.

The magic number is 428 minutes a month.  3,000 minutes/ 7 months= 428 minutes per month.  If you average over that you are better off spending the $30 a month for the Straight Talk Plan.

Summary Two of Straight Talk Vs Tracfone

If you are using just a few minutes a month Tracfone is great, you can keep your service active for less than $7 a month.  If you use 400 minutes a month you can purchase the $200 1,500 minute card and get 3,000 minutes with DMFL.   This will cost you less than $30 a month.  If you use over 400 (428)  minutes a month purchase the $30 a month 1,000  Straight Talk Plan or $45 a month unlimited plan.

Happy Calling with either Straight Talk vs Tracfone Wireless Prepaid

Get the Straight Talk Unlimited Plan for $45 or the $30 Monthly plan direct from Straight Talk.com

I like this phone

I have been using this same LG 200c model of phone from Net10 for the last two years. I have dropped it hundreds of times, and it still keeps working. It is easy to use, fits well in my pocket and it never messes up. The ringer stays at the level I set it.

Keyboard view of the LG 200c CDMA phone from Straight Talk, Tracfone and Net10

No External Keys

I really like the fact that there are no buttons on the outside of the phone. It never accidentally makes calls in my pocket. It does not have a camera or anything else. I also have a Verizon phone that has external buttons to turn on the camera and to adjust the ringer. I will be sitting down and if I move just wrong it starts taking pictures.

If all you want is a phone

This is the phone for you. From Straight Talk you will pay $30 for the LG 200c and then if you get the unlimited card that will be an extra $45 or if you get the 1000 minute card it will be an extra $30.

Tracfone has finally starte selling  some descent phones.  The lineup of the nicer Tracfone phones includes the Lg 225, the Motorola W376, the LG 600g and the Samsung T301G slider.  No longer are they all the clunky cheap phones.

Tracfone Phone Feel

I like the touch and feel of the LG 600 the best.  The Motorola W376, the LG 225 and the Samsung Slider all also have a nice feel to them.

The antenna stalk  sticking out of the LG 225 is a little annoying because I carry my phone in my front pocket.

Phone Fit while Talking on the Phone
I like the smooth lines and larger size of the LG 600 and W376 for talking on the phones.   I have big hands and a large head and the way they flip out I can get the phones into a comfortable position for talking.  The LG 225 is pretty good, I just like the 600 and W375 better.  I do not like the way the Samsun Slider fits my face.

BlueTooth Tracfone Phone

The Bluetooth on my LG 600 and my W376 will not connect to my Dell laptop or another phone or my friends Acura.  I have not been able to get my Samsung to connect to any of them either.  The Bluetooth on most of the phones will hook up to headsets but not to most other Bluetooth appliances.

Slider Phones from Trac Fone

I really like the feel of a slider like the Samsung T301G.   If I had one in my pocket it would probably be in my hand being flicked open all the time.   I love the feel of a slider.   I will not be using it because I carry my phone in my pocket all the time.  The folding phones protect themselves in my pocket better.

Tracfone.com Slider Phone Keylock

The Slider phones do have an automatic key lock so when your phone is put into your pocket you will not be dialing accidentally as your phone gets bumped around.  The key lock deactivates when you open the slide making the phone ready to use as soon as you open the keyboard.
