I just bought a LG840G with triple minutes for life...What card do I buy here at Amazon ?? I'm looking at the Tracfone 200 minutes &amp; 90 days of Service. Will that work, &amp; triple my minutes &amp; service ? The phone is for Tracfone.

Answer here...Yes. That card will work. But, it only triples minutes not the length of time you have to renew it. You will still have to buy another card before the 90 days is up. Hope this helps. Also, I don't think anyone offers extra days as well....That would be nice though.

It stated on the package, 'double minutes for life'. I didnt know how that worked but i purchased a 120 minute card at Wallmart and when I entered the pin it in fact show as 240 minutes.

It is a triple minute phone. Every minute you buy whether online or with a card will be three minutes.

means you have 90 days usuage (service). I usually buy the 450 minutes with 1 year. that way i don't worry for quite awhile about my phone going dead. it is a pay as you go phone. one card , one price. not extra. love my phone. I have the triple minute one. so 450 x 3 is great value. and 1 yr service before i have to worry bout getting another card!!

Stella,My husband and I are retired and we both have the LG 840 Tracfone. We don't use it very often, but feel that the one-year service is the best deal. We get triple minutes, and you never loose any minutes, as long as you buy more minutes before the year runs out. You could get lesser amount of minutes, but the 1 yr. plan is the best for your money.

You get a card worth 200 minutes and it's doubled to 400 minutes. I really like this phone. It doesn't have a camera or it can't go online but it's a really nice phone.

Yes. Mine came with double minutes for life and a sim card. I bought a nother TRACFONE shortly after I bought this one and the one that I bought came with TRIPLE minutes for life!!! It's a much better deal than double minutes for life!!! My TRacfone service is excellent in my service area (Bergenfield, N.J. & New York, New York).

As of today (7/17/13) LG customer support tells me, with a measure of vagueness, that they are "concluding a contract with Amazon to provide connectivity to more LG players, and a software update will be coming out mid-July." By my lights, it IS the middle of July. This sounds like BS to me. LG agent was vague about recognizing my particular unit (label on back reads "LG BD572 Aug 2010", clear as day). Amazon customer support agent, equipped with same HW information, attempted to talk me through the process, took me down the exact-same avenues I'd already explored, arrived at the identical impasse I'd arrived at: inability to get LG device to cough-up a five-digit "access code". Do any of these bozos know what they are talking about, re the HW/SW products they are taking our perfectly-good money for????

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 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.

My phone did not come with any minutes. But when you call tracfone to get the phone activated, they do give you 10 minutes for start. You have to buy airtime minutes and once you get them activated to your phone, it automatically gives you triple minutes. EX; If you buy 60 minutes, you will receive 180 mins to your phone. And you will get 90 days of service. They have all kinds of airtime minutes you can buy. Go to tracfone and give them a call. This phone is great, I love it. My husband bought one like it after he seen mine. No contracts, you can control your own price and these phones work all over this country. Gets great reception and the phone I ordered came with a 2mb card inside for xtra space for music & pictures. Most of their phones don't have the cards. This phone is absolutely worth the buy, and the triple minutes adds icing to the cake. The touch screens are so fun and easy to use.

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

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.

With the 5 Tracfones in our family, we buy the year card, it is usually cheaper than buying a monthly card. On some phones we get double minutes for life and the newer ones we get triple minutes for life. The minutes do roll over to the next year. You do need to add minutes once a year.

TracFone activation was no charge. You get a few free minutes (20, I think) automatically, but I recommend buying a phone card and adding it right away. A 60-minute card will get you 180 minutes from TracFone on this "triple minutes" phone. There are also plenty of "bonus" codes out there that can score you a few extra minutes when adding a card (just search the Net for 'bonus codes Tracfone').

When I order a card for 200 minutes I get 400 minutes... the tracphones are great about that as minutes go so quickly... so I always try and buy my grandkids a tracphone for that reason...

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.
