How do I display my name on my LG500G Tracfone so that it shows on the other parties phone?

The other party is going to have to save your phone number as a contact in their phone with your name before your name is going to be associated with that number in their phone. When you call someone you do not broadcast any information other than your phone number to their phone.

I think your name will only show up if they have your number programmed into their directory. You can't make it show up, it's up to them to save your number into their own directory and put your name with it, then it will show up on their phone.

Pictures Via bluetooth or in a micro sdcard and the number i gues calling the provider company that you are with. And let them know that you want to transfer your number

I'm not entirely positive but if the tracfone has a SIM card then transfering the SIM into this phone should transfer the information as well. If that doesn't work buying a new SIM card from an authorized service provider and activating the phone is another option. I would make sure the tracfone has a SIM card before purchasing this phone.

Just ask the service provider you plan to use. If it is a tracfone, for example, the site will tell you.

When you play the messages back, it states the date and time. I don't believe it shows the name but when a call comes in it will say the persons, company, business name but you usually can't tell who they are saying.

I haven't done that, I did it from Verizon to Tracfone. Anyway, If you are currently with Tracfone, you can update your phone. If you coming back to Tracfone from another carrier, I believe you can come back to Tracfone any time. The phone number is yours and it doesn't belong to any carrier.

Tracfone uses various providers, depends on your are as well. I know the one I had was on T-Mobile. It's in the serial numbers: http://www.ehow.com/how_6184908_determine-carrier-tracfone-uses.html . Hope this helps.

No problem, Noah. The large button just below the screen will handle many of your functions. I assume you want to check your Caller ID to see who's been calling you. On this model, just press the bottom of the button and each of your calls will be displayed on the screen, starting with the most recent. The name will display first, and then you can press the right side of the button and it will indicate the caller's number. You can even choose to save (or block) these numbers by following the on-screen instructions, using the "select" key and pressing the choices you want, in-sequence. Hope this is helpful to you.

I don't do it often but no it doesn't display any info from my phone except phone name. I have a windows 8 phone but don't think it matters.

From a previous Tracfone? Yes, you can transfer your old number and the remaining minutes from your previous phone right on Tracfone's web site to your new phone, like this LG.. Using their site works well and IMO it is much easier then trying to get a Tracfone CS rep on the phone and have to deal with them.

I had a tracfone already. I transferred the old number to the LG600G, so I still have the same number.

It does not announce who the caller is. You need to look at your phone to see specifically who is calling.

There is a plus and minus symbol on the device. When it is on and you are connected to someone, press the plus symbol several times. Get a friend to call you.

You have to call tracfone and speak to an operator and tell them you are porting your number over. It also helps if you have a new tracfone card to add minutes to your new phone.

This is a Boostmobile phone. I believe you need to buy a cell phone from tracfone.
