This says it comes with 400 min. and double minutes...So is that 400 that will double to 800 or 200 that will double to 400?

As it says in the product description, "This phone comes with a Tracfone 200 Minutes/90 Days of Service PIN, which will double to 400 Minutes when added to the included A382G." This is exactly how the phone I ordered came.

You get a card worth 200 minutes and it's doubled to 400 minutes. I really like this phone. It doesn't have a camera or it can't go online but it's a really nice phone.

When it says 400 min.; it means that you will get a 200 min. card and it will double to 400 min., when you add it to your phone. I thought the same thing when bought my phone for my uncle that I will be getting a 400 min. card and it will double to 800 min. They really need to reword the description, it is very misleading.

Louise, did you buy this phone? I think it's a good buy. Once you bought this phone it comes with the 400 minutes already. You don't have to buy any more minutes for one year. Then if your Mom needs more minutes the second year, then she can buy it either at amazon or tracfone.com -- Gloria

You have to buy a EX431 that comes with triple minutes. Some of these phones come with just double minutes. When you buy minutes, they are automatically tripled - you don't have to do anything special.

I'd like to know as well. I bought two of these and they don't last even 27 minutes; more like 5!

I don't know, but I kinda doubt it, they set me up with double minutes-sorry

It all depends on which package you purchase. Some come with minutes, while others don't.

I am not really sure but within several hours. I've never really timed it. I just know I can continue to use it and it increases in charge.

I can't confirm exactly because I have not tried using it for that length of time in "one stretch". I've only used the time settings for up to 20 mins at a time, and I realize that it's way shorter than the "95" min time frame, but it does run continuously for the time that it's set for. Sorry that I can't confirm for a longer duration.

Yes. Make sure when you get your codes that you go to Tracfone Reviewer http://tracfonereviewer.blogspot.com/p/tracfone-promo-codes.html and get a code for some extra minutes. A 200 minute card can get an extra 40 minutes. Note: Triple minutes do not apply to extra minute codes. ie. A 200 minute card, as of writing this, with the code available would net 640 total minutes.

400 minutes are tripled to 1200, but you can go on the internet and get a bonus code and when you activate the phone it will give you another two months service and 250 more hours. Total of 1,450 minutes and 424 days service. Be careful, some sellers are not including both the 1200 minutes and the year of service.

I am pretty sure the 180 you take twice a day and the 400 you take 3 times a day, so they should be the same dosage in a day. Correct me if I'm wrong!

Do Not Buy A Double Minutes Card! You will only get the same minutes as a regular card IE: A regular 400 minutes card will get you 1200 minutes and 1 year of service. You will get exactly the same for a double minutes card. But the double minutes card cost much more.

Not sure it you have purchased the product already. Wanted to replay as the 500s are on 'Today's deal' and the difference is 30 now. hope you get email for this reply. I compared both the system when I bought them year ago and chose 500. The difference was not 200 for me in a local electronics store. If you listen to lot of music, I guess the difference is justified.

They are one in the same. Once purchased, you receive triple minutes every time you add minutes.

Hi Gloria, Double minutes means that when you add minutes, for example; you purchase a tracfone card with 60 minutes on it, tracfone will add 120 minutes of time to your phone account. I'm not sure if you can purchase tracfone minutes cards from amazon, but if you go to the Tracfone website you can buy them onlne there.

Came with 200 minutes, but minutes are not automatically updated. You have to purchase them, but it's easy to do.

Double minutes means you get twice as many minutes as you pay for. For instance, you pay for 60 minutes, and you will automatically receive 120 minutes on your phone. This is even good on the Monthly Value Plans. Those start at 50 minutes for $10.00. With a double minutes phone, you will receive 100 minutes for $10.00. It's a great deal, and you don't have to do anything extra to make it work!
