Anyone use TracFone?

by jas0nhe Aug 9, 2005 9:28AM PDT

How come I hardly ever hear about TracFone Wireless, which provides prepaid cell phone plans? I've used it for a year and it's been pretty great overall, except for the fact that all of the phones in the lineup are bare-bones entry models.

I'm thinking about maybe switching to T-Mobile To Go--has anyone had any experience with it, and how is it?

Yes, I've got a TracFone

I agree that the phones aren't cutting edge, but then I don't really care about most of the features that are driving the market for new cell phones.

I've been using TracFone's Motorola v60i CDMA phone. It was a great phone in its heyday and is still a sturdy, realiable, full-featured phone.

I've managed to keep abreast of TracFone's promotionals and have never paid more than 6 cents a minute for Airtime. If I spent a little more time making referrals, I'd do even better than that.

TracFone's service is great in my area and although a more glamorous phone would be nice, I can't walk away from the deal I've got without feeling ridiculous.
