do the texts count as 1 min airtime per text, or 0.3 min airtime like the lg 800?

Text costs 1 full unit, whether you send it or receive it, on Androids. Tracfone is raking in the cash on that feature :)

With ALL the new androids one text is one minute from the text bucket. If you're a heavy texter(I've seen some people say like hundreds of texts a day is average for them), I don't think these phones are the way to go, unless you use a free over wifi texting app.

No, no, no, this Android Tracfone, when you use the pay-as-you-go plan, gives you triple minutes, AND triple # of texts, AND triple # megabytes of 3G data. So, your texts & talk are two, "separate" accounts. For instance, if you add a 60-minute card, you get 180 minutes of talk, plus 180 texts, plus 180 MB of data. You can also purchase data separately, if you use a lot of data. I just use it on WiFi, so I haven't even used any data, but if I were someplace I need to check my email or stocks, I could do it, without using much data, so it's there, if you need it.

Time and date are on the text messages. Battery good for me but I don't use my cell that much. Really only have it in case I need help so I'm not a good judge of the battery life. For me it lasts a long time without having to be recharged. I text my children and grandchildren but no one else.

No it dosn't. The operating frequency of that phone is 1800hz to 1900hz and the frequency of the a,t&t network is 800hz to 900hz because the higher frequencies don't penetrate buildings as well as the lower frequencies. I spent a month figuring this out. The a,t&t factory rep finally explained it to me.

Tracfone deducts 30 seconds per text. Unless you send or receive photo texts which I believe are 1 minute.

There is an app for it, at least for Tracfone there is. Once you open the app it will send you a no charge text with all of your minutes for talk, text and data.

Intresting question. What I do know as an example is tracfone divides minutes, so for example if you have 180 minutes, it's 180 talk, 180,text, 180 data.

Not sure how to measure signal gain. It didn't work for me. My experience was intermitent SMS & no or poor voice capability. With or without the device.

Not sure. Mine is a 4. The echo occurs whenever anyone calls me, but not on my end. It kust repeats the callers words about 1 second later.

I suppose you're talking about 2G/3G options. It has the standard options: 2G only, 3G only, 3G preferred. About SIM options, you can set preferred SIM to voice, data and SMS individually. There's a "count down time" within which you can choose the other line to make the operation.

You'll have to activate it using your land-line phone or via web browser. (It's not difficult.)Your phone (I believe) comes with 20 minutes of airtime upon activation. You can buy airtime at Walmart or online as well.A 60-phone-minute purchase yields 180-minutes and so forth with the triple minutes for life bonus.

If you contact Tracfone customer service with the the long number under the battery they will offer you a promotion they are running with net10. You will be abe to use this phone with net10 and they do have unlimited airtime cards 35.00 for unlimited text and talk 40.00 unlimited text talk and web and 50.00 for unlimited text talk and web but this webs running speed will run faster then the one for 40.00.

All activation instructions are included in the box. You can select your 10cent plan when you activate the phone. Be sure to purchase $25 or more worth of minutes if you want the unused minutes to rollover every 90 days. AT&T does indeed have a 10cent per minute plan but you will be charged addistional fees for texting, etc. which can use up your airtime very fast. If you text alot you can add on additional feature by dialing 611 from your wireless phone. This is also the easiest way to add airtime if you have a credit/debit card or checking account.

I think the captioning is by live operators...they may also use software but when you turn the CC on, there is a slight delay while a live operator logs on.The captioning is pretty good, some drops, but I rank it better than the CaptionCall and just a little behind our Captel. We use it as our main phone and the CaptionCall is downstairs. The Captel is *retired*.

It depends on your usage. With normal calls and texting, approximately 6-8 hours. Web and app usage cuts it to about 4-6 hours.
