Is this a tracfhone type phone like you don't have to pay monthly phone bills.

Yes, it is a Net10 you buy a phone card. Nice little phone. I have a similar one thru Verizon. I bought this for my son. This is his 2nd one.

Yes it is. you have to buy a card at a store or set up an account and have it be auto refilled by charging a debit or credit card.

Yes, Net10 and TracFone are affiliated and you add/buy Airtime (minutes/days) via phone's Menu or cards purchased in store. Lowest average monthly cost after you buy Double Minutes for Life card is just under $10 for TracFone; and $15 for Net10. Both offer Unlimitedplans (please read for details), but the least expensive options will roll over (accumulate) Minutes/Days when you add Airtime. Hope you find this helpful, aloha =j

Yes , the reason I got this phone was that I did not want a "smart phone" and monthly fee for a data package. You can use this as a basic phone , but has an awesome camera, and easy texting :)

no just pop in your sim and use What ever plan that's available . I used prepaid and I didn't need the data but it's ok to have . It's more of a feature phone like

nope and that's why I returned it. You still have to have monthly service, nowhere in there a does it say that. I fully installed the entire system and could not get to work with my phone until I called them and they tried to sign me up for the monthly fee. I sent it back and Amazon refunded me my money after reading their ad. Sorry.

No. Tracfone has a smartphone, but this one doesn't run on an Android operating system.

No. I bought this phone because I'm an old guy who has never owned any of the gadgets. In fact I just read where I'm one of the 10% in the country who has never owned a cell phone. Anyway this was the only phone I could find where I wasn't paying for all sorts of junk I won't use. It isn't light weight but the great volume control is a decent trade off. In fact I just bought another one as a back up for under 20 bucks.

No, Net Ten's rate for this phone is $50 per month which allows unlimited phone & text min. This phone is very efficient., we have two of them.

A no contract phone means that you pay month to month for your phone's service and can cancel at any time without penalty for breaking a contract (typically most phones have a 2 year contract). These plans most often require you to pay for the full price of the phone however, opposed to getting the phone at a discounted rate by signing a contract.

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.

There is no $7 a month plan. What they mean when they say that, is it works out to be around $7 a month when you buy the 60 minute/90days of service cards, or the one year cards. And yes, the phone will work with any tracfone minutes card.

No, it is just a cordless phone that works off of a plain old telephone line.

Yes, it is a pay as you go process just like any service offered by one of the major carriers. I have a monthly plan with ATT. The cost is dependent on the carrier, their data plans and your needs.

Hi Kathi, Since this is unlocked you don't need to pay any monthly fees. You still need a data line though to get it to work and that will require a monthly fee, from your operator (AT&T;, T-Mobile, etc...).

Yes you can. That's what we used it for. It may take you a while to get used to the phone, but it's a good no contract phone.

In the package it will have a phone number (& website) for Tracfone you can call that number to buy some minutes and begin your service. In case you're wondering how the Tracfone service works, usually you buy minutes (20-200) and it will give your phone a certain amount of service time (several months - a year). If you want an active phone but don't want to buy anymore minutes they have a maintenance option (which I don't remember the name). Basically it will keep your working for a monthly fee.If you already have a Tracfone you can move your unused minutes over to your new Tracfone.

It's not pay as you go. I bought it for the same purpose, to use with an existing Verizon contract.
