How can you guys carry a cell phone and limit yourself to 150 minutea year? If I have one, I tend to use it. I get 1050 anytime minutes a monthplus unlimited incoming and mobile to mobile, of course it is $50 a MONTH but it would drive me crazy to only use 150 minutes a year. Not a bad deal if that is your pattern though.

T-Mobile has 1000 min for one year for $100 not hot but normal price. we rarely use our cellphone do you vonage alot.

You're right. It's only a deal for very light users.

It would drive me crazy to talk on the phone 1050 minutes a month.

Hot! Usually they have other codes to so you get even more minutes with a year card. That would make it even hotter.

See info HERE

who wants to spend an hour going through that mess? can't you do a better job to show us where the deal is?

It's right in the FIRST POST of the page that I linked to (AND on the first updated page!). I didn't think it would be THAT tough to find.

To quote part of that post:
" Nokia 1100 (SKU 526949) and Motorolla TFV-120-T (SKU 507741) Tracfones both now scanning at $19.50~
These are worth it just for the free 200 minutes you can get by referring yourself (not to mention extra batteries). A 200 minute card would normally cost $49.99.
~Tracfone Motorolla V60 (SKU 566573) now $40.50~"

I think the website only allows you to enter 1 promo code so I'm not sure this will work.

That would be awesome newtechkie! I'll update the title if someone finds a good code and can confirm this works.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing. I too use this only for emergencies but minutes are easy to come by anyways by self referring and buying a refurb phone with minutes. Anyhow I was able to purchase the minutes but when you redeem it there is no opportunity to enter any additional codes for the free 100 minutes, but again a great deal. Thanks

I really hate cell phones, but I keep a tracfone in the car in case of emergencies. I don't like the long contracts, credit checks and monthly bill of the other services. This is a very good deal for people like me. T-Mobile isn't available in my area and tracfone has good nationwide coverage. Just my two cents.


Yeah, not just motor-mouths have cellphones! I had a tracfone for 14 months and it was great. I still made lots of calls to friends and family and AAA for towing. I still had 30 min left when it expired. Not bad for $5/month.

I made a big booboo when I switched to ATT because I became enamoured with a cool video/camera phone. I ended up paying $40/month while only using 10 min. Should've stuck with Tracfone!
