Not sure how the Tracfone cost comes out to be $.10 per minute thgouh. The year plan, assuming you have the double minutes on your phone is $100 for 800 minutes (400 doubled) but you can usually get bonuses to bring that up to 1,000 minutes. If you use more, there is the 450 minute card (3 months), that doubles to 900 minutes for $80 plus the large minute cards like the 1,500 card that doubles to 3,00 minutes for $200. And you can usually get bonus minutes on all these. You mean to say Tracfone is not a better alternative to phone plans? In some cases, no. If you spend LOTS of minutes on the phone with, say, your girlfriend and she is on the same plan as you and you get those minutes for free,,,,,well it could be cheaper with some plans. Lets say I traveled a lot and my GF and I had the same plan. We are limited to what's available here, but I think it would cost us $80 for 700 minutes for two phones. Lets guess taxes etc would make that $95. If we used exactly 700 minutes for general talking, but talked to each other an additional 500 minutes, then 1,200 minutes would only cost $95 .. well, that's not such a great deal but slightly cheaper than tracfone maybe, except when you realize that if we each had a tracfone, just those 500 minutes alone would have cost us $100 since we would each be being charged minutes so now we are talking 1,700 minutes ($170). OK, so that would still not be too bad and with larger minutes you could go for cheaper tracfone cards. I still think I would go for Tracfone. But, if you have teenage kids, the family plans with the free minutes could save you a bundle. Of course, teaching your kids how to budget and save would be better. Personally, if I spent more than a couple hours a month on the phone I would shoot myself.Now, where I live, there are limited plans out there. Some places have great plans available, althgouh I don't know if you can get CDMA phones or not. Some people may not care if they get a CDMA phone or not. That is good to know about GSM that they don’t work every where. Yes, I found this out the hard way and it turned out that to switch back immediately to a CDMA phone was a royal pain as far as getting my old number and minutes. Just a quirk in the system. Did finally get what I was due, but took a lot of effort. Had I waited a while, probably would not have been a problem. 0 likes
