TracFone
« on: March 17, 2014, 03:46:42 PM »
Anyone use TracFone? Thinking about buying two for $10 of LG 840G White Reconditioned (HT:SD). Then they have pay as you go plans, including one for $100 for a full year of service and 400 minutes (*3 for this phone, so it's 1200 minutes). Seems like a pretty good deal. Thoughts?

i know this thread is years old but serves my purpose...
i bought a tracfone with sim with service  a while back. the phone went dead but i still have the sim. i bought another tracfone https://www.ebay.com/itm/284854089877
but this one cant be filtered. does anyone know which tracfones can be filtered meaning complete internet block? alternately, can a tracfone sim be used in a different phone?
Don't wait for the perfect moment; take the moment and make it perfect.

Get the TCL flip 2.
See the flip phone thread.
Can be totally kashered.
Get Tracfone service on your flip phone for $20 for the first 5 months using mycode

I bought an iPhone from TracFone and want to add service to it for 2 months so it can be unlocked. I'm not able to find the $20 3 month plan when I try to find a plan for the iPhone on my account. when I try to buy the plan separately it makes me buy a device. any advice?

Buy a plan on amazon, target, or ebay and then add it to your phone.

I have a tracfone flip phone that was used for over sixty days, does that automatically mean it can be unlocked? and if so is that a difficult process or is it relatively simple?

It not automatic. Relativly simple, follow the instructions here: TFWUnlockPolicy. Check if your phone is eligible and if it is they should email you instructions.
