I already have a samsung phone but wanted a Tracfone card for calls from Dubai. Can I use these minute cards there or only valid in the USA?

First, you must have a TRACFONE to use TRACFONE cards! They will not work on every Samsung phone, only the TRACFONE ones. See the tracfone.com website for more details. I checked http://www.tracfoneild.com/destinations.aspx and did not see Dubai listed, so it looks like this will not be an option for you.

I live in the USA and use my phone and it works great. My phone is also international compatible if I notify T mobile.

Don't know cause I have tmobile but I only bought to use when I'm out the country

I believe not. But, why do not you use all the minutes leaving about five and then purchase a phone card and THEN activate it. You should have card minutes plus a few you left.

Its a Verizon iPad. So if your international card is Verizon, then yes. If its not just do what I do. Use WiFi. Then you don't have to worry yourself wif it

It depends. Sometimes they will be bundled with free minutes. Sometimes there are minutes if you buy on Tracfone's website but not if you buy it elsewhere. It's been too long since I bought it for me to remember what deals may have been in effect (if any).

The card does not come with any minutes. It does however come with about 250mb of data when you first get it. In order to activate the SIM, you may be in the country that you plan to use it in. Then you must visit the local BTC in order to activate the SIM and top it up with minutes, text, and data. It's pretty straight forward. Good luck!

No, this does not work while still in the USA. However, once you are in China you don't need to do anything to activate the card other than put it in your phone.

Yes, you can activate it in the US. You can test it by sending a text to it, as receiving texts is free. Using it in the US would be very expensive though, so I would advise against using it for calling in the US. You can't buy airtime with a US credit card, but you can buy top-up vouchers from online 3rd-party sellers if you want to load it up before you leave. I bought mine (from phonepal.co.uk) before leaving and managed to get money onto the account while still in the U.S. Otherwise, you can just wait until you are in the U.K. to buy airtime for it.

Yes you can, and you can use your cell phone, first you call a local number provided by the card company, wait until connected then it tells you to enter a PIN number(# of card you buy) then you call the phone # you want starting with area code, it tells you how many minutes you have.

In regards to your question. Can you roam? This is a prepaid phone, you buy the minutes in advance and you can call Coast to Coast at no extra charge. Tracfone has several minute packages you can get. When I bought this phone it came with Double Minutes For Life. I buy 200 minutes and when it down loads to my phone I get 400 minutes. This would be the same for any minute amount you get. Go to Tracfone.com and you can read all about it.

Yes. Check the phone's compatibility at Tracfone's website in the "bring your own phone" section. Tracfone now works with most unlocked GSM and CDMA phones, but be sure to check Tracfone's website before buying your phone. You also get triple minutes on any Android phone.

you can take a cell phone anywhere and use it if you have a roaming plan. international fees will apply. i found that having an international calling card was better, even though it eats up the minutes faster.

I am pretty sure you can, but, sometimes they say it will take a week or so depending on the carrier and if it is cell or land line. Your best bet would be to call tracfone customer service and ask. You have to wait sometimes to talk to a human, but, they are good about handling what you need when you get them.

Yes, I bought a T-Mobile internet & US calls chip in New York City last Summer. It was a 30 day plan and it worked just fine.P.S. I have the unlocked version of Acro S

Also, Net10 (and Tracfone, and Straight Talk) are US services. Even if you choose a GSM phone from these companies, they are locked devices, and you can't use any other SIM other than the one that came with the phone. You'll want to buy an unlocked GSM phone, and buy a SIM and service for the country you're going to use it in.

With my LG505c it came with a 200 minute card. When I activated the phone and added the minutes it rolled over to 600 minutes. Be sure to look for Tracfone promo minute codes.
