This is because you get $10 worth of data, $5 worth of texts and $4.167 worth of service days with this card resulting in just the cost for the 300 talk minutes at just under $1.<br /><br />In your example, where you can buy a 200 min card for $40 vs 2 300 min cards for $40, you would get the same talk time for each, but the 2x 300 min card would be a much better value (you would get 600 talk, 2000 text, 2000 mb data and 60 service days vs 600 talk/text/data and 90 service days) <br /><br />If you don't need texts/data, then it doesn't matter which option you go with. But, if you use all three, then the 2 x 300 min smartphone card is better value. Also, if you just need service days, the 60 min card is the best value.<br /><br />Hope that is clear enough.TracfoneReviewer Teamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15878487033950016130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677003350229363498.post-38347592321682421712017-11-26T18:36:23.106-06:002017-11-26T18:36:23.106-06:00I also do not understand the numbers in your table...I also do not understand the numbers in your table and chart. If I buy a 200 minute airtime card for $40, I get 600 talk minutes. If I buy 2 300 minute smartphone only cards at $20 each, I would spend $40 and get 600 talk minutes. Therefore the cost per minute is the same. You do get some extra text and data airtime, but that does not lower the cost of the talk minutes.Deannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677003350229363498.post-82296054887657415452017-11-24T12:37:53.400-06:002017-11-24T12:37:53.400-06:00Can I use your $9.99 30 minute Airtime option and ...Can I use your $9.99 30 minute Airtime option and then add 365 days for $49.99 to increase service days on my smartphone?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677003350229363498.post-71833362185802410692017-08-26T16:39:09.278-05:002017-08-26T16:39:09.278-05:00I use my TracFone for talk & text.

Here is my question. If I add a 30 day card on to it will the 30 days add on to my year end date. The $20 smartphone only card sounds like one I might try since I already like to add data and text. A one time purchase would get me also minutes. This new no triple minutes on fones is confusing.
