How do Trac Fones work?

Answer by  jaho (47)

A Trac Fone is a prepaid cellular plan. You pay for the phone and then buy airtime and length of service based on your need. If you don't use a cell phone much and don't need a lot of features, a one year plan, with a discounted second year, is a good deal at about $6 per month.

Trac Fones work well and are a good deal if your whole life doesn't center around your cellphone. The basic Trac Fone kit is about $10, and some have the "double minutes feature," which brings the cost to around ten cents a minute. No contract cancellation fees or ripoffs!

TracFones are prepaid cellphones. You purchase airtime cards and add them to your account. The phone tracks how many minutes you have, but they expire after a while, so you must keep buying cards so your service stays active. They're a good deal if you don't talk a lot.
