Re: Trac Phone
My wife and I have used Trac Fones for more than 10 years. We use them as telephone only and we aren't heavy users. My wife and I each get a $19.xx 60 min update every 90 days. (minimum required). With our current phones we get "double" minutes with each purchase. My wife has built up over 500 minutes now and I stay well over 100 available. You can buy the time cards at most chain stores or buy them on line with a credit card. There are other plans available but I have not looked into them.
Texting is okay on them, but I don't use that feature very much.
Web access is available but I don't use it.
Using the camera and getting the pics downloaded to a computer requires them to be sent via email or text which of course uses units/minutes on the system. The direct download capability has been disabled on their phones.
Their phones are usually available at "Dollar" stores at very reasonable prices.
Account service used to be great but the company got purchased a couple of years ago and getting them to answer at their 800 number has been spotty since then. Once they answer you still get good service. Normally the only time I call is if I get a new phone and need the number/minutes transferred to it.
edit: I have used it all over the east coast and south. The only place I had signal problems was in northern Maine. It went to "roaming" north of Bangor and there were a few areas of no signal.
