How I did it, yes but it is well worth it. The lowest tier is $20 (400 minutes, no text messages) followed by $30 for the next tier (1500 minutes, 1500 text messages).

No. You have to buy your minutes. The Battery, Charger, Activation Card and Services Guide are already Included.

You get double the minutes you add. They do expire, but when depends upon what kind one buys. One can buy minutes plus a year of service.

Yes you will need to have a subscription. Its very affordable, but depending on where you order it from you may get 3 months or 6 months included. But you cannot view the data without having a subscription.

You can buy them as often as you want. I buy the 60 min cards which triples minutes and it lasts me about 3 months of mostly texting. You have a counter on the face of the phone that tells you how many minutes you have and how many days to use them in. I ALWAYS have way more days than minutes. As of right now, I have 113 minutes and over 300 days to use them in.

You have to buy minutes when they run out or when your time runs out. For example: I always buy the card that loads 400 minutes (which triples to 1200) card with 365 days of service. It's the best deal. Before one of those runs out you have to reload. I don't use my phone excessively so that card lasts me the full year before I have to reload. Hope this helps.Deb

You buy airtime (30 or 90 days, one year) and minutes and you're good to go. They have plans if you want them. Check out their website tracfone.com for details.

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

Christine, Yes, the $15 dollars is for 30 days. Also; on our bill we get a $1 charge, but ours is paid automatically. I don't think you will have that if you buy the card every month.

You have to add service days..You can buy 1 year of service for about $65. For occasional users this is the best option. If you need more minutes...buy more and you will also add some service days. If you don't need more time you'll be good for 1 year

I'm sorry but I have never had this issue so I cannot answer this question adequately. I can guess that you do not have a insufficient number of minutes and therefor you may need to purchase more by increasing the size of your monthly plan.

No monthly bill, until you put it on a credit card on their website otherwise get a card to add minutes when needed. then its auto deduct each month. Triple minutes means what ever denomination on minutes you put on card it triples. ie: 60 minute card = 180 minutes. It's a good way to go if you don't use often.

With any prepaid phone you buy new minutes when your minutes are gone. Every three months is the norm. I buy the one year card ad I buy from the website. They automatically add the minutes to your phone and they talk you thru how to do it.

You buy minutes when your time on the card expires. The card have 90, 180, and one year time limit. With minutes ranging from 60 to 1500 minutes. The best option in my opinion is when you register your phone with tracfone on line and purchase the minutes on line on their monthly plan. Once you purchase the minutes then you can cancel the monthly plan and renew it when ever you need time or minutes. If you don't need minutes but need time you can purchase 30 or 90 days for 6 dollars.the minutes on line on the family program are much cheaper than purchasing minutes at the store.

That depends on how much you use the phone. With this model, you get double minutes for life, so that's very good. However, you MUST buy at least 60 minutes every 3 months or you will lose any remaining minutes you have on your phone. All in all, I find it the best and cheapest cell phone plan around.
