macbuff said:I bought the minutes last night, and when it got to the part where you enter your codes on the phone, I had to go get my phone. When I got back to my screen the session had timed out. Is there some way I can recover the session? I sent a message to customer service explaining my situation, but I haven't heard back from them.

same problem, anyone know how to get the time added?

update, got email with code in it to add the one year. now need to work on getting 100 extra free minutes.

Ok, now they changed my due date listed on the website to one year from what it was previously. My phone display still shows the old due date, however. Which should I go by?


Update: I just received an email from Tracfone with the entry sequence, and my phone is now updated. I have read many posts about bad experiences with Tracfone, but every time I have had an issue, they have been prompt to respond and have been very helpful.

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~"

the first page that your link goes to has a first post that says " ~Maxell 5pk. 4x 4.7gb DVD+RW w/jewel cases $5.50+tax SKU 562151 (B&M)~ " The headline for the thread says "Official Staples Clearance Thread w/ AutoUpdate (thanks jschuman!!!)"

i also looked for them at Staples online and b&m and found nothing. maybe you should lay off the weed.

I have tracfone (Nokia 1100) in NYC. It uses Cingular network. It even recieves text messages using ##########@mycingular.net .

SMOKING HOT! I ended up having to call a CSR to add my minutes and airtime which turned out to be a good thing. I was able to use the 100 minute bonus code with her, and I ended up getting 14 months of service instead of a year. The code for 100 bonus minutes is 53622. You got green from me OP, and thanks for sharing your code!

code for 100 bonus minutes on top of the 150minutes?
is this bonus 100minutes for any tracfone card or just some?

newtechkie said:Did anyone try this code without calling? It shows on their website to be expired by 5/15/05.

That code was e-mailed to me, and it's expiration date is 5-31. I also noticed there was a popup ad with the same code. I wasn't really expecting the code to be applied though from what previous posts said, so maybe I got lucky.

Code is good on purchase of the 1 year prepaid wireless service card.

I just bought this card and only got 150 minutes. No free 100 minutes.

Can we do this twice on the same phone and extend the time out to 730 days? I'm new to Tracfone and the wording on their site is not the clearest.

I caught my wife (not a FWer) on the Tracphone site not 1 minute after I read this with her credit card out. I yelled "STOP!" Luckily she had not consumated the deal. Saved us $40. Thanks OP!
