Shop on the tracfone site and go to airtime basic service plans. Put the cheapest plan in your cart (though it should not matter which one you put in). They will then give you an option for buying a full year of time for $49.95. Delete the first plan you put in the cart!!! The full year for $49.95 will stay in the cart! Buy it. That is what I did today. I had over 3,000 minutes on my cell phone which I only have for emergencies and leave it in my car. I did not need any more time. I only paid $49.95 + tax and got another full year. You do not have to buy more minutes! Interesting, thanks for the tip.

I've been on their maintenance plan now for several years at $6.64 per month but the $49.95 yearly plan is a MUCH better deal. Thanks! |

Are you happy with coverage, data speed, etc.? -- Cheers, Bev It's 95% of the lawyers making the other 5% look bad. |

Then it took me to the $49.95 yearly plan after that I just X'd out of the site. > > better deal. Thanks! > Are you happy with coverage, data speed, etc.? > Cheers, Bev I'm like drpepper, I use mine for emergencies only or the rare occasion that I do have to call someone or need long distance service as I don't have that service on my home phone. I've had my phone for several years and just kept accumulating minutes as I was buying a 60 minute card each month just to keep service active. On average my phone is turned on twice a month so I'm no help with data speed. Sorry. |

Going in a different way, I got to the billing page as before :-( Got brave and fed in semi-real information, but the $49.95 plan didn't show up -- just the plan I chose plus a couple of bucks for shipping :-( -- Cheers, Bev I'm not saying we should kill all the stupid people, I'm just saying let's remove all the warning labels and let the problem sort itself out. |
