If you buy a triple minute PHONE and a double minute 1 yr card direct from tracfone, does it double or triple your minutes?

You will receive triple minutes because your phone is already programmed to receive triple minutes every time you add air time.

Do Not Buy A Double Minutes Card! You will only get the same minutes as a regular card IE: A regular 400 minutes card will get you 1200 minutes and 1 year of service. You will get exactly the same for a double minutes card. But the double minutes card cost much more.

Be carefull! I bought 4 of these phones and when my minutes did not get tripled tracfone told me that this is not a triple minutes phone! Their customer service did nothing for me and only told me to go the vendor who sold it to me. I spent 2 hours on the phone with them with no help whatsoever! Poor customer service and lying about the triple minutes...

Yes, You can just Buy Trac Fone cards anywhere Phone Cards are sold or at tracfone.com. At tracfone.com they are usely running some kind of promontion that will give you Free bones minutes so check frist. Bones minutes are not Tripled but minutes you buy are automatically Tripled.

You will get 450 minutes and 90 more days added to what is already in your phone. The days come with purchase of the 450 min. card. If you have double or triple minutes on your phone the minutes will double or triple to 900 or 1,350. The added days will still be 90.

You buy minutes as you need them and no monthly plan is needed unless you want one. You can buy as little as $10 at a time or more if you want to. As far as minutes go, it works pretty much the same way as any other Tracfone except that the talk, text and data minutes are deducted separately. So if you text, the minutes will come off your text minutes only. Triple minutes on this phone makes a big difference.

it means every time you add a new card to your phone whether its a 60 minute card it would give you 180 minutes for the price of 60 minutes, 120 gets you 360 minutes, 200 gets you 600 minutes and so on. Its a great deal. I have had tracfones for almost 10 years now and to be honest they get better coverage over these newer smart phones.

You get double the minutes you add. They do expire, but when depends upon what kind one buys. One can buy minutes plus a year of service.

You have to buy minutes when they run out or when your time runs out. For example: I always buy the card that loads 400 minutes (which triples to 1200) card with 365 days of service. It's the best deal. Before one of those runs out you have to reload. I don't use my phone excessively so that card lasts me the full year before I have to reload. Hope this helps.Deb

It stated on the package, 'double minutes for life'. I didnt know how that worked but i purchased a 120 minute card at Wallmart and when I entered the pin it in fact show as 240 minutes.

Can't answer for sure. I buy those Tracphones for my parents. You need to go on their website to see what they offer at the time. I think some minutes you purchase last for a month. Others up to 3 months or a year for more cost. Some things you buy give you double and triple minutes for a limited time and etc. They're nice for the person that doesn't use cell phones much where their usage doesn't constitute a monthly bill, or is on a fixed income, but you have to buy minute deals that fit your lifestyle.

Yes 1st you want to xfer from an old phone (either trac or other) which will xfer the minutes/days remaining onto this phone.... Then IF you need to right away you can add the 400 card (which will triple to 1200). The mins/days u xfer will not triple but you will get I (I think it was) 20 mins and 60 days service just by buying this phone (added to what u xfer).... When I xfer my daughters old trac to the this new I did it via the website (tracfone).... it take about a half day to xfer the info to the new phone (she just carried both the first morning till it happened). I love her 'new' phone so much I'm getting it too!

When I purchased the phone I also purchased minutes to go with it and used it when activating. If any minutes were included, it was probably only a small amount. I would recommend purchasing minutes also. You can purchase a 60 minute card for about $20 and you get double minutes with this phone. (So you actually get 120 minutes.)

Yes. Make sure when you get your codes that you go to Tracfone Reviewer http://tracfonereviewer.blogspot.com/p/tracfone-promo-codes.html and get a code for some extra minutes. A 200 minute card can get an extra 40 minutes. Note: Triple minutes do not apply to extra minute codes. ie. A 200 minute card, as of writing this, with the code available would net 640 total minutes.

No, you have to buy a card, but mine came with double minutes for life. IE a 60 minute card is good for 120 minutes!

I think the question is whether you have to purchase the minutes either by phone or at the website to get the double minutes. The answer to this question is no. You can use a Tracfone card purchased anywhere, or even a PIN sent to your email by a reputable online seller. Your minutes will automatically double.

There's no triple minute card. any minute your buy are tripled. There's two things you need to remember. Your service date(either 90 days, or 1 year) and how many minutes you have. Run out of minutes, you can't text, talk, use data, run out of service time, you also can't do any of that, and you lose any minute your had. You need service time no matter what. Even if you have 1000 minutes left, if you run out of time, it's gone. So I go with the year card so I only have to remember once a year, and not worry about it. Or if you have a lot of minutes left, in the plans section of the website that's a keep your phone active thing that adds time more not minutes.
