what do triple minutes mean?

Some phones don't use as much data or bandwidth. So they give your "triple" the minutes that you pay for it. i.e. you buy 100, but the phone upgrades it to 300. But this is a bad phone. It likes to dial 911 on it's own.

I baught from Tracfone's web site one year with 1500 minutes which gave me 4500 minutes for about $212 with tax. Text messages are .30 minutes but a text with a picture will be about a minute. All calls are rounded up to the next full minute when deducted from your remaing time.

When you buy the phone and it lists Triple Tracfone minutes it means: if for instance you purchase and pay for 400 minutes Tracfone will triple your minutes to 1200. I purchased the triple minutes with one year service through Tracfone.

It means when you buy a minutes card, Tracfone triples the minutes you receive from that card.Example:You buy a 120 minutes card. Tracfone gives you triple the minutes. Ergo, you get 360 minutes (120 X 3 = 360).

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.

When you buy minutes from Tracfone they are tripled.Example 100 minutes bought = 300 minutes for calls.

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.

To receive your 3 x minutes purchased do you need to purchase online and is there a code you need? I am going to purchase online and hope the minutes are tripled and extends the days accordingly.

Not sure what you are asking. However, the minutes you have on your phone are connected to the phone number. If you get a new phone, you can transfer your phone number and minutes to that new or other phone. If you purchase minutes you can either add those minutes to which ever phone (not phones) you wish. If your phone has double or triple minutes for life, this refers to your phone, not phone number.

In regard to Tracfone T301G, whenever one purchases this phone that offers "Unlimited Triple Minutes", your purchases for all future minutes will be tripled for the life of the phone. Example: Buy a 30 Minute Card, the system will credit your phone with 90 minutes of talk time. Only affects talk time. It does not triple your service days. A great deal!

Using trac phone i am deducted .30 mins per 1 single page text. Many service providers out there, all have different charges. For my needs trac phone works. My phone gives triple mins on any card i buy, and that works for me. $20 200 x 3 600 mins lasts a while, can't beat it. John

1200 minutes is the total you get with the phone, but when you buy future minutes they are tripled!

No you can't do seconds but you can do minutes. 1 min is your minimum time.

Hi Sarah, The triple minutes on a Tracfone has to be a feature already installed in your phone. If you have this phone, but it does not have the triple minutes than you can buy a card on TracFone's website to turn your phone into a triple minute phone. They also come in double minutes, which can also be upgraded to a triple minute phone. If the phone is advertised as triple minutes for life than it has already had all the upgrades needed, so that when you buy a minute card, let's say for 200 minutes and 90 days, than you will automatically be redeeming with that airtime card, 200 X 3 ...or 600 minutes with that airtime card...plus you can also benefit from any promotional bonus minutes that you can search for when adding an airtime card. Bonus codes can be found all over the internet... some are valid, and some are not... Tracfone review is a good website to go to when looking for current and valid promo codes....when ever you buy an airtime card you should use a bonus code with this phone...shop eBay for great discounts on airtime cards...good luck and have a great evening. mamainc9

"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.

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.

It does not take 3 minutes, more like the amount of time your current one takes.

No monthly billing required, however, if you don't use the minutes in 30days you must add minutes and time monthly. The triple minutes work for life (I have had mine for over year and am up to over 450 minutes. You get triple minutes but not triple days. Other than than that all is good. I select the $20.00 offering as you get 90 days and that works for me. Not a big minute user.good luck,Jim Paskell

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...
