what happens if you forget to add minutes to your tracfone

What happens if I forget to buy and add Airtime to my TracFone? To keep your TracFone Service active, you must add Airtime before the Service End Date or the number of days left displayed on your TracFone screen. If your TracFone runs out of Airtime, you will need to add a TracFone Prepaid Wireless Airtime card to add more. The amount of minutes you use is entirely up to you. Adding more TracFone Airtime cards extends your active service 30, 90, or 365 days from the date the card is added, depending on the denomination of the Airtime card. Unlike most plans, the minutes and service days you add to your TracFone will be added to the minutes and service days you already have.

I have gotten this phone from Safelink, but from what I can understand is that most likely not...I think if you purchase minutes through tracfone, I think that you don't have time constraints on using minutes

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 I purchased my tracfone the battery was included, but I did have to buy some minutes by chosing from the cards enclosed with the phone. At the time the minutes could be doubled, but now, they can be tripled! So if you buy a card with 60 minutes - you get 180 minutes for 90 days. That is an excellent idea - in my opinion! Hope this anwers your question(s), Jennifer. Buy it, you won't be sorry! Anita

You need to use the airtime card included with your purchase + receipt. It has a numerical pin code on the back that you add to your tf balance. You then make sure that the extra minutes have been added to your balance by tracfone.

I believe your phone has to be on a TracFone account to use a TracFone Minutes card.

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...

I'd contact the Tracfone folks or whoever your carrier is. You should have an account you can view online. Remember there are 2 elements, service days and minutes. You probably are past the end date of your service days. You can sometimes purchase a lower number of minutes and then add'l service days. When I bought my phone, it came with lifetime triple minutes. It is often hard to contact the carrier, but hang in there.

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.

I add minutes through the tracfone website via my home computer.You can also add minutes by purchasing a minutes card at a retailer and entering the code on the phone. Since i don't add minutes this way, i don't know the menu options to step through.

It adds 90 minutes to the number of days you have to use your minutes up. So it you look on your tracfone, you will have something that tells you how many service days you have left and it would add 90 days to this.

For Tracfone there is no monthly fee. When you buy minutes, you get a specific activation period (30, 60, 90, 365 days) and you need to buy more when either the minutes or the time run out. All minutes roll over as long as the phone is kept activated.

The card adds minutes, but its up to what kind of plan you have with text messaging. I am thru safelink/tracfone I have 1000 texts a month. it does not add texts.

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.

I do not know. Best answer is to ask TracFone/Net10 on their webpage. I never had a battery problem with this phone, but I did have mine totally blank out and become unusable. I now went back to the actual TracFone brand/carrier and have nothing but good things to say about the triple minutes and phones they offer.

Yes, Tracfone does allow your number to be transferred during the setup. If your previous phone was a Tracfone, you can also transfer your minutes as well. It's best to go through the Tracfone website to setup your phone, otherwise you will be stuck with an East Indian operator.

By keeping minutes and service time active your Tracfone service time or Minutes will roll over. If your Tracfone service time expires you must reactivate within two months you will get to keep your minutes.
