I can’t believe more people are not using Tracfones. I prefer no-contract cell phones and service versus paying hundreds per month – but then again, I don’t live my life via phone either!

Tracfones are now available that can handle just about anything more expensive “smart phones” can do – for a fraction of the cost. I’m still holding my cell phone expenses to around $90 per year. How many can say that?

I’ve had the same model phone now for about 4 years – and it cost me all of $19.95 when I bought it. I see no need to buy a model with more bells and whistles, but check out the link above and to the right if you’re in the mode for a new model.

I wrote a post in September about the savings I’m getting after switching to a Tracfone.

If you’re still pondering a change to cell service costs that YOU control, here are the most recent offers that will help you make the switch.

This first phone offers a “double minutes for life” plan. I just re-loaded my phone yesterday via Tracfone’s web site and the “double minutes” were automatically added. Totally painless!

This phone has a TRIPLE minutes for life feature. Pay for 400 minutes – get 1200! Hard to beat this offer!

TracFone Wireless – Control your costs and still great service!

Every once and awhile I have a conversation with someone who is spending literally hundreds of dollars per month, every month for…a cell phone.

Okay, maybe it’s for more than one cell phone if they have a spouse and kids.

But hundreds of dollars a month? I spend hundreds of dollars a month on food, and a car payment, and a mortgage. But not on a phone. In fact my total combined “phone related” costs – landline and cell, are less than $60 per month – and have been so for the last 7 years.

I had a more expensive service when I first moved to back to a rural area. I also then experienced intermittent service with static, “no service” messages, and dropped calls. I guess I can say my move to the country forced me to find a better way – and I’ve been saving ever since.

My “secret” is no secret – it’s a Tracfone.

The phone I selected cost me $19.99. About once a year – sometimes twice a year, I buy a card with minutes. In fact my phone was purchased with a “double your minutes for life” feature. So, each time I buy a card – which is easily done online, if I pay for 200 minutes I get 200 extra minutes. If I send a text it costs me 1/2 a minute – send an image to my Mom, it costs me a minute. Since I don’t live on the phone this works perfectly for me. It may not for you.

Here’s one with a TRIPLE your minutes feature – just for selecting this particular phone:

Did I mention these are No-contract cell phones ?

I have no contract with a lot of icky-tricky fine print. The last (other) cell service I had, that didn’t work consistently in my area of the country, wanted to make ME pay to get out of their contract. It was going to cost me over $200 to get out of service that didn’t serve. I managed to get around it, but “once bitten, twice shy” as someone said. Never again.

I’ve been using nothing but my Tracfone since 2004. I do still have my landline. No, I don’t live on the phone, so I don’t need to pay for 1,000s of minutes several times a year, but even if I did – I’d still be saving money and would not be held prisoner by a cell contract. So far, there have been maybe 2 instances where I went to use my Tracfone and had to wait a bit to get service. Two times – in 7 years – that’s it – compared to the nearly useless and high-dollar system I was in before – this is less than nothing.

No matter your level of cell usage, Tracfone is worth a look. Cell phones are all but an addiction for some people. In many ways, a TracFone may be a really good way to gain a little added control over the process.

I just bought a new LG model – it does everything I need – when I need it. No contracts required, and it works just fine in my rural location.

Here’s a special deal for Valentine’s Day – for yourself or as a gift!

I always hesitate to use the word “cheap” in describing a product.

For many, “cheap” does not mean good – but this has been the opposite with TracFone.

I gave up on more expensive and contract phone service almost as soon as I moved outside a major city area. Fortunately, I was nearing the end of a phone-slave contract at the time since the service was buggy at best at my new location.

I bought a Tracfone and a year’s worth of minutes, and this has been a no-worries, no stress transaction ever since. I buy minutes, I use minutes, and I always know how many I have left and if and when they expire.

Service has been better and more consistent than the more highly advertised (and costly, and contract) service I had prior. There is no “contract” with Tracfone and they also offer a fairly decent range of phones to choose from – depending on your usage and needs. A couple examples are below:

LG 225 Cell Phone + One Year Card + Double Minutes for Life

LG200C Cell Phone, Accessory Kit

If you want to control cell phone costs, this is the way to go….

They won’t if you use TracFone. Buy cards for the minutes you need and forget expensive and hard-to-leave contract plans. Service works great – even in rural areas…I’m going on my 5th year with TracFone and – no worries!
