I think this is a overall-low price, but it could possible be local. They dropped the prices on the V120. This phone includes a year and is now under $40! Combine it with some free minutes and that just can't be beat for $3 a month averaged out! The new, blue 1100 with free incoming text messages is also very cheap now at about $36! This one doesn't include the year, but is the cheapest I've seen it yet!

I just got back from WalMart. Nowhere on the V120 package does it say it includes a year. In fact it referred to the card inside to determine the days, which you couldn't see without destroying the packaging and the salesperson told me it only came with 60 days. How do you know it comes with a 1 year activation?

That is not true. Just back from Wallmart. Got hte last one. On the back of the package, after Digital Features option, next option says
"12 months of wireless service and 10 minutes prepaid wireless airtime included with activation."
This does have 12 months airtime. But, this is not eligible for 200 minutes extra time with the coupon code posted. I bought one at Sams club for $59.99, and in another thread someone posted that the 200 minutes does't applies to this.
Also, while at Wally, pickup the Motorola starter kit for $12.87. It includes leather case, car charger and hands free earbud.
so, does this mean that you pay $40 or so and get 1 year and only 10 minutes of airtime ?
Another question is if I have an unactivated phone, can I buy cards and activate it ? I am looking for a phone just for emergency purpose, so number of minutes does not matter, however, length of activation period should be long.
WalMart had this phone in two different packages. The blue package had a line on the back that stated "12 months of service and 10 minutes of time". The red one stated "10 minutes of time". Needless to say, I grabbed the blue one.
Anyone know if the red one is also active for 12 months?

Yes I belive so. Last year I bought a refurb direct from tracfone because it was free with a minute purchase. The first 10 minutes were good for a year then the 10 for email registration and 60 minutes for a referral gave me 80 minutes for the year. Was kind of a YMMV back then.
just back from my supercenter and the only V120's they had were marked down as OP stated but they only came with 10mins. I don't ever remember seeing a New Retail Tracfone that had minutes with it already unless it was a refurb unit. Where on the package are people seeing this year thing????
I just got back from my second trip and no go. Two different color packages, both with only 10 minutes. I even had the clerk doublecheck to make sure. Definitely a YMMV.
