They aren't making any new Cells of that type, but you can find new or used phones if you look. My husband and I have a small stock pile of phones to go to when our present phones quit working. On ebay I got a 2 for the price on one deal. My husband went to the TracFone store and bought a flip phone. He didn't want a smart phone. We are never going online on these phones. We have desktops and tablets. Call your Tracfone store before you go to make sure they have some left.

I don't use many minutes or data, mostly texts so I go online and buy the lowest price card I can ($10 for 30min/30/days) and at the end of the transaction I add a year's worth of service time for $50. My phone costs me $60/yr which works out to $5/month! (I'm really getting 13 months of service because of the card I added so my phone is actually only costing me $4.62/month.) As far as I know the option to add a year's worth of service time without adding minutes is ONLY AVAILABLE ON THE TRACFONE WEBSITE. I do buy texts once in a while but at $5/1000 that's pretty cheap! I am a happy Tracfone customer.

When they have their specials, it costs from $79-$129 depending on phone for all of that. However, if I'm not ready for a new phone and like you, always have minutes left, I call Tracfone and get on their ??? plan. (I think it's called security plan) What happens is you sign up, and when you're time runs out, it automatically gives you 30 more Days-ONLY for $5.95. Each month, if you run out of days, it repeats. No charge to sign up and you can cancel any time. I just did it Aug. 29, 2016 so it's current. Doesn't sound like anyone here knows about that, so hope that helps you out.<br /> I find the best answer is to call, tell them what you want and ask what they have for that issue. No one OFFERS the 'deals' anymore, but they have them. Also, why is it that if you buy your card at Walmart, they don't charge tax, but w/ Tracfone they do? They couldn't tell me but that's wacky!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677003350229363498.post-23050329219685637422016-08-23T19:28:55.858-05:002016-08-23T19:28:55.858-05:00Unless US Mobile has improved, I had them last yea...Unless US Mobile has improved, I had them last year and they were horrible.

Tracfone has changed a lot since I was an ignorant cellphone noob with a dumbphone with them years ago, and I really appreciated the comparison chart of airtime cards vs. old smartphone cards vs. new smartphone cards. (It stinks that promo codes can't be used with smartphones, though!) I'm currently a RingPlus customer (which is based on Sprint's network), and so would have to switch service providers if I were to get the BLU R1 HD from Amazon. FreedomPop now offers GSM service; however, I have been very disappointed with the poor call quality and SLOW customer service on their CDMA side. Based on the online research I've done thus far, for my usage levels (about 10 min. talk/0-10 texts/400MB data per month, according to my RingPlus invoices), the next best alternatives (other than Tracfone, of course) seem to be PureTalk (as recommended by a previous commenter in this thread), TPO Mobile, and US Mobile. T-Mobile's $30/month "100 min./unlimited text/5GB data" card would be a close runner-up if I found myself using a lot more data than I currently do. Coverage maps seem to indicate that AT&T probably has a stronger signal in my area than T-Mobile, though (although I haven't yet personally listened to local calls via both networks to compare), so Tracfone and PureTalk might have the best call quality.Catherine A.
