My LG was just ok, but, I was able to leave the data off and use my homes wifi. Unfortunately now that I transferred over I am finding that you can't send picture texts without the data turned on! I have young kids and love to send and get pictures! Does anyone know a way around this to avoid spending lots of money on data cards? <br /><br />Also, does anyone know if the Samsung Galaxy's are the same? At this point I'm thinking I need to replace it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10848458720273453468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677003350229363498.post-50873750692752227042017-01-25T10:36:28.762-06:002017-01-25T10:36:28.762-06:00"The iPhone 5S is now available from the Trac..."The iPhone 5S is now available from the Tracfone website"<br /><br />is this still true? i can't seem to find the iphone 5s on the tracfone website.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04510709981732282282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677003350229363498.post-9803402149213391712016-11-23T13:34:41.358-06:002016-11-23T13:34:41.358-06:00Does the free iphone to iphone texts over wifi fea...Does the free iphone to iphone texts over wifi feature still work?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677003350229363498.post-86723658796659899552016-11-03T16:02:42.530-05:002016-11-03T16:02:42.530-05:00Can this phone be unlocked and activated on my Ver...Can this phone be unlocked and activated on my Verizon account?

The Target tech offered to connect it for me; she had a direct-line number to Tracfone. The porting of the number went fine. However, there was glitch for those of us with an iCloud account using double security. The phone wants access your iCloud account to be totally active. I have the added security feature in which Apple sends a four-digit code to a pre-approved device. As the iPhone 4S was no longer active, I couldn't receive it. I finished the iCloud process at home. If you don't have this security feature, no problem. If you do, either finish the job at home or bring a second approved device with which to receive the number. Otherwise, it's great: fast, LTE, added features (love the voice mail). A case was recommended. The 5S cases are more robust, really protect the phone, but plan on another $50 expense.Paul Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07361065712294700573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677003350229363498.post-19822026843038820232016-10-04T16:28:59.592-05:002016-10-04T16:28:59.592-05:00I just bought one at Target in Austin.I just bought one at Target in Austin.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08896859051100239235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677003350229363498.post-34823752787311614122016-09-21T19:26:37.383-05:002016-09-21T19:26:37.383-05:00Nope, I'm not seeing the iPhone 5S on the trac...Nope, I'm not seeing the iPhone 5S on the tracfone.com website either!

I think it's only phones specifically made BY Tracfone that don't update i.e. all of its Androids. At least, they used to not. For $200, if it's supported for only a couple of years, I'm happy. Right now, I've been buying a phone a year (first the miserable ZTE Valet) and then I went BYOP with the Moto G (reliable phone, horrible camera only 8 gigs), both cost around $100. My husband and family are all on iPhone, so I'm happy now I can, at least, "facetime" with them instead of demanding they download Skype.<br /><br />Will activate mine this weekend when I have time. Can't wait! Thanks for all of your posts and information. It really helped me in making an informed decision.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12608799714395738453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677003350229363498.post-75470190950696651312016-08-28T13:39:46.641-05:002016-08-28T13:39:46.641-05:00From Wiki
