This is a Smart phone and we have AT&T.; You can access the Internet however we found it is not good for heavy internet usage. You will have to figure out how much you will be using the Internet to determine what size Data Plan that you need to buy. We were able to increase ours a few times to adjust to the one that fit our needs. There was no upgrade fee to increase the data MB so I suggest starting with the cheapest and you will get an idea of what you use after your first bill.

No I don't my son already has a plan so he just pay $30 a month, but, the down side is, if you have tmobile as your service, your phone won't be able to access the internet or other features unless you have AT&T; then you'll have all the features. My son don't use that phone anymore. I hope this helps.

You have to buy a EX431 that comes with triple minutes. Some of these phones come with just double minutes. When you buy minutes, they are automatically tripled - you don't have to do anything special.

If you contact Tracfone customer service with the the long number under the battery they will offer you a promotion they are running with net10. You will be abe to use this phone with net10 and they do have unlimited airtime cards 35.00 for unlimited text and talk 40.00 unlimited text talk and web and 50.00 for unlimited text talk and web but this webs running speed will run faster then the one for 40.00.

Yes, you can. No need to sign up for any plan as long as you add more airtime before the last expired. The best deal is the one year card for $ 108.

You can either purchase a prepaid plan from many of the providers such as T-Mobile or AT&T or if you prefer to use a more diverse one such as Tracfone or Net10 then you would have to go to their webpage and get the info from there or simply visit a local retailer that carries the company products/services/ how to use the minutes. when you first purchase a prepaid plan ( either from AT&T or T-mobile) you can use the starter kits ( you may have to ask about those for prepaid services ) the directions are usually in the box. Either you can purchase airtime/minutes with a debit/credit/check card or by a card and add the appropriate amount of minutes you will need or want for a specific time frame. for prepaid cards - first purchase the card at a local provider or you could do so through walmart.com i've made many purchases through them with prepaid cards. It takes a few hours for the pin number to show up in your email. You will follow the instructions that comes with the box, either you can call the 1-800 number and add the airtime there or use the webpage of the service provider ( such as AT&T or T-Mobile) and follow the necessary steps but make sure you are under the prepaid section once on the webpage or it will not work properly. Then you should receive a message (free of charge if with T-Mobile from my experience) stating you've successfully added airtime to your device. Enjoy!

My friend depending on your carrier, you might winding up expending more money for the data services. It doesn't make any sense to buy this phone and not taking advantage of its data capabilities. Beside the minutes for air time, you need to add a data plan. I would highly recommend for you to check with any T-Mobile retailer before you get the phone since they have have now monthly plans with data and without contracts. I hope this might help you.

All activation instructions are included in the box. You can select your 10cent plan when you activate the phone. Be sure to purchase $25 or more worth of minutes if you want the unused minutes to rollover every 90 days. AT&T does indeed have a 10cent per minute plan but you will be charged addistional fees for texting, etc. which can use up your airtime very fast. If you text alot you can add on additional feature by dialing 611 from your wireless phone. This is also the easiest way to add airtime if you have a credit/debit card or checking account.

The phone comes with a few minutes of air time after activation, so you have to go to the website for additional time and days of service.

Most of the ways you can add air-time also roll over your minutes. At present the only plan that does not roll minutes is 1000 minutes/30 days for $25. That works out to 3 cents per minute. All of the other plans are between 7 and 10 cents per minute and all of them roll the minutes. You can see the plans in the "Pay As You Go Plans" section on https://www.net10.com/direct/Net10Plans

Depends on what you're doing but a good 4 to 5 hours with heavy use. Mine sits sleeping and light use and gets plugged in every three days or so. You aren't going to get Mac Air numbers

I am a 65 yr old grandmother, so I am not hi-tech, but I have had a tracfone since 1998, and have never seen airtime cards that do not include either 90 days or one year, depending on cost. I mean, as long as you need both airtime and days of service, why not get them both at once? When one runs out before the other, and you renew, whatever you had left over is added to the new purchase. And if you buy a new phone, as long as it is a tracfone, you keep your number and whatever airtime or days you had left can be transferred onto your new phone.

I bought the phone from amazon. I already had a sim card in my previous phone I got from T-mobile and just put the card in this phone. You have to go into a store that handles T-Mobile if you are not already signed up. They will sell you 1000 minutes for $100 or smaller amounts of minutes for less. Look at T-mobile website for "no contract" info. No minutes come with phone from amazon. Tmobile will assign you a phone # when you purchase minutes.

The $25 prepaid card gives you 250 minutes of airtime. And, although the card, itself, has a 90 day expiration time-frame, it's really only good for 1 month... once it's been activated. The carrier that I went with is at&t... the phone and the card were purchased separately. UPDATE: I was informed by at&t that an option for infrequent phone users is the .10 cent per minute plan. That would make the $25 prepaid card usable for 250 airtime minutes within a (90 day) or 3 month period. This plan offers no texting; no data; just nationwide calling. As with all Gophone plans, to remain on any given plan rate, you must upload prepaid minutes into your account within 2 days prior to the expiration date from when the perpaid card was activated.
