What do you mean by double minutes? Can I buy prepaid cards from amazon? Is there a monthly payment If I buy this phone?

Hi Gloria,Double minutes means that when you add minutes, for example; you purchase a tracfone card with 60 minutes on it, tracfone will add 120 minutes of time to your phone account.I'm not sure if you can purchase tracfone minutes cards from amazon, but if you go to the Tracfone website you can buy them onlne there.

When you buy a 60 minute prepaid card for this phone it will double to 120 minutes when it is applied to the phone. No monthly payment just how ever many minutes you use each month is what you pay for.

The only way I know of to just add days (not any minutes) is to go and enroll in their "Service Protection Plan" what it does is when your days runs out it adds on 30 more days for $5.99. I believe you have to have a credit card on file for it to charge when the days run out. For the same $5.99 you can enroll in their "Monthly value plan" and not only will it add 30days it will add 40minutes (or double that if you have this phone). Hope that I have helped you.

Usually it is automatic with the phone. There is usually a label on the box or in the description on amazon. When you activate and add minutes it multiplies by 3. Example: 200 minutes = 600 minutes.

NO, it is a Boost Mobile/Sprint phone and it will take days to activate while they chase their internal tails confirming you didn't steal it from the previous month to month cash customer. Amazon should be ashamed for selling crap like this.

"Double minutes" means you get twice as many minutes as what you pay for. So, if you pay for sixty minutes on a phone with double minutes for life, that means you will get 120 minutes. But that deal is about two years old. Check out the phones that offer triple minutes for a better deal.

Yes, most definitely. This phone comes with "Triple Minutes for Life." You can purchase Minute cards and/or Time cards anywhere TracFone cards are sold or directly loaded to your phone from the TracFone website. I hope you find this helpful.

You can purchase minutes "in the form of a card" on-line (including Amazon.com) or if there is one nearby you can stop in at a BestBuy and pick it up. The card comes with instructions and a code that will apply them to your phone. You can also purchase minutes using your phone to access them with "Buy Airtime."

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

The $25 prepaid card gives you 250 minutes of airtime. And, although the card, itself, has a 90 day expiration time-frame, it's really only good for 1 month... once it's been activated. The carrier that I went with is at&t... the phone and the card were purchased separately. UPDATE: I was informed by at&t that an option for infrequent phone users is the .10 cent per minute plan. That would make the $25 prepaid card usable for 250 airtime minutes within a (90 day) or 3 month period. This plan offers no texting; no data; just nationwide calling. As with all Gophone plans, to remain on any given plan rate, you must upload prepaid minutes into your account within 2 days prior to the expiration date from when the perpaid card was activated.

Some Tracfones come with triple minutes, some with double. Every time you buy minutes, you will automatically get 3 times the number you purchase. So if you purchase 60 minutes, Tracfone will automatically put 180 minutes on your phone.

There was no monthly charge, I just prepaid four minutes. So if you did not use it for a month you paid nothing and if you used it a lot you paid for the minutes are used. in fact, I still have the phone, it has been at least six months since I used it, and it still has about 100 minutes loaded onto it.

The phone is made to use as a "Pay as you go" phone that you can just purchase minutes for, but I purchased it for my daughter and added her to our AT&T account (different SIM card). So you can do either.

It depends on which plan you buy. For example, when I bought mine, Amazon offered the same phone with 450 minutes, 300 minutes, and a couple other plans. You have to compare the plans on Amazon for the phone you want and then select the plan that offers you the best value. Some plans are clearly better than other plans. You have to do your homework.

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.

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!

If you have a prepaid account. You could spend it on minutes packages or get the unlimited talk & text package. Or whatever you like, just be wise about it. :)
