Thing to Look For While Purchasing a Trackfone

Track one have gained its popularity in the past year. However, since that particular year, Tracfone phones have started adding a number of different Android driven smart phones in their team of low cost cell phones.

Tracfone is such a device that gives you the option to use it for both in a cell and phones at a low cost and trades cards are available with variable small amounts that handlers can purchase and add to the phone. When these facilities are added on the phone then, uses those options when a call is made or a text is received. Additionally you may get 90 days of service with every card.

The system, where users can purchase minutes when required; supports to make the Tracfone service quite inexpensive for people who use their phones infrequently.

Most of the Tracfone plans also come with twice or thrice minutes for life that means you will have double (or triple) the minutes when a new card is added.

Each of the recent Android phones from Tracfone cell Phone is attached with Triple Minutes for Life that is an added advantage. Even Prepaid smart phones like iPhone 4 can also be used with Tracfone. This and other BYOP phones receive Triple Minutes for Life. 

How to Add Tracfone Minutes to Android Smartphone’s

In any Android phone; the process of crediting minutes to your Tracfone account is a quite different from the method used in older phones. You can search any online list available for any help in this regard.

In a modern phone like LG 840G, when a 60 minute card is added, you would receive tripled to 180 minutes that you may use for text, talking and other purpose like surfing the web.

In Prepaid Android phones, Talk, Text and Web are divided up the minutes are added. So a 60 minute card is added, you will receive tripled to 180 minutes, and then this can divide it up into 180 minutes for texts, 180 talking, and 180 MB for data.

Hence, the basic points are:One 'pool' for minutes are used in Non-Android phones; while Android phones use three different 'pools' for talk, text and data.

For most of the people, an Android phone is an excellent device because they can get the same number of minutes for talking, and at the same time can receive texts and data also. However, there is a significant difference that makes it not so popular for everyone.

The variance is that for people who text more, Android phones are not the best deal. Let me clarify:

In a non-Android device, each text charges .3 minutes. So with 180 minutes, 600 texts can be done.

Whereas in an Android phone; each text costs 1 (since texts uses their own 'pool'). So with 180 minutes, 180 texts can be done (also have 180 minutes for talking, and the same for data).

If you have to text a lot but want an Android phone then you must look into downloading apps that have text without charges. For this you just have to visit the Google Play Store and search for 'free texting apps'.
