How Tracfone Works

The Prepaid model that Tracfone uses is the Cost per Minute structure. You purchase minutes and at the same time you will get a service period to use those minutes.

You buy the Tracfone phone and a Minute card. You can only use a Tracfone Cell phone for Tracfone prepaid service, you cannot use a Verizon, At&t, T-Mobile, Alltel, Net10 or any other phone with Tracfone Service. The Tracfone SIM card will not work in any other phone either.

Next you will have to Activate your phone. You can do this by going to the Tracfone website or by calling Tracfone on a different phone. This can take up to ten minutes.

To activate your phone you will key in a series of numbers. It is really simple and if you hit the wrong key it is easy to redo it..

Adding a Tracfone Card is even easier. You can add Tracfone cards directly from the phone or from the Tracfone website. You will key in the 15 digit PIN code into your phone.

I have gotten a lot of extra minutes on my Tracfones by using Bonus Codes. Tracfone Bonus codes are a five digit number that will increase the number of minutes you get when you are adding a card to your tTacfone.. Check out the Tracfone Bonus Codes.

Buying Tracfone Cards

You can purchase Tracfone cards in different sizes. You can spend $20, $30, $40, $80, $100 and $200. As you spend more money on the card you get more minutes per dollar. With the first four cards you get 90 days of service time with the card. The twenty dollar card gives you three minutes per dollar while the eighty dollar card gives you 5.8 minutes per dollar. These numbers double with Dmfl installed. The $100 and $200 Tracfone cards give you a year of service time.

Tracfone Service Time and Minutes Roll Over

With Tracfone your minutes and service time will add on to your current balance. For instance if you have 20 minutes and 60 days left on your Tracfone and you add a 120 minute phone card you will end up with 140 minutes and 150 days left. If you have DMFL you would end up with 260 minutes (2+120+120) and 150 days of service.
