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.

Yes that is what I buy works out cheaper you will get 1 code on a price of paper in the mail when you enter the code it will auto triple minutes on your phone each time you add a card it extends your service days

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.

Do you get the triple minutes if you buy the phone through Amazon? How do you know it works in your area?

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').

You can buy them as often as you want. I buy the 60 min cards which triples minutes and it lasts me about 3 months of mostly texting. You have a counter on the face of the phone that tells you how many minutes you have and how many days to use them in. I ALWAYS have way more days than minutes. As of right now, I have 113 minutes and over 300 days to use them in.

The first one we ordered years ago, came with years (multiple) plus double minutes , from QVC I think. This latest one, replacement, doesn't come with any minutes. You can go online "tracphone", and order whatever.

You buy minutes when your time on the card expires. The card have 90, 180, and one year time limit. With minutes ranging from 60 to 1500 minutes. The best option in my opinion is when you register your phone with tracfone on line and purchase the minutes on line on their monthly plan. Once you purchase the minutes then you can cancel the monthly plan and renew it when ever you need time or minutes. If you don't need minutes but need time you can purchase 30 or 90 days for 6 dollars.the minutes on line on the family program are much cheaper than purchasing minutes at the store.

This map (link) shows the entire Reno area is covered https://www.tracfone.com/direct/controller.block You can also go to the link below and input your ZIP, select your phone, and it will lead to a page that shows coverage for that phone/zip (Use the New Customers option when to input your ZIP code). https://www.tracfone.com/direct/CoverageMaps?app=TRACFONE&lang=en BTW- I have since upgraded to the LG 800g, which has a touch screen and triples the minutes you purchase! :-) The LG 440g was a great little flip-phone, but I couldn't resist a touch screen and the TRIPLE MINUTES VALUE. I love my new LG 800g. Also, keep in mind that Tracfones use the AT&T Network (primarily), so it is a large network which helps ensure very good coverage (I've never had any problems, but I haven't used it outside the USA).

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.

I'm not the seller of this phone, but since it says that you receive a pin for the minutes/days, you should be able to use that at a later time or even of a different Tracfone. Keep in mind, that if your other phone doesn't have triple minutes for life, you wont receive 1200 minutes, but 400 (unless your phone has double minutes, then it would be 800).

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!

Yes 1st you want to xfer from an old phone (either trac or other) which will xfer the minutes/days remaining onto this phone.... Then IF you need to right away you can add the 400 card (which will triple to 1200). The mins/days u xfer will not triple but you will get I (I think it was) 20 mins and 60 days service just by buying this phone (added to what u xfer).... When I xfer my daughters old trac to the this new I did it via the website (tracfone).... it take about a half day to xfer the info to the new phone (she just carried both the first morning till it happened).

Yes...Tracfone offers a choice of phones & they come with 'start up' minutes. Make sure you get the 'triple minutes' program...that way each time you purchase additional minutes cards, you get 3 times the stated amount...200 minutes card gets you 600 minutes, etc!
2127755
it comes with 10 minutes when you initiate the phone. You can transfer minutes and days of services from another tracfone if you have one. For triple minutes, for every minute you purchase, you get credited for 3 minutes. So, if you buy a 60 minute card, your phone will be credited with 180 minutes.

Yes. Make sure when you get your codes that you go to Tracfone Reviewer http://tracfonereviewer.blogspot.com/p/tracfone-promo-codes.html and get a code for some extra minutes. A 200 minute card can get an extra 40 minutes. Note: Triple minutes do not apply to extra minute codes. ie. A 200 minute card, as of writing this, with the code available would net 640 total minutes.

I'm in MT, so I don't know...but if you have either AT&T or T-Mobile it would have to. We don't have T-Mobile and I keep getting the phones (except 2) with the T-Mobile chip. They won't tell you which has which chip. Even if it has the wrong chip you have to activate the phone, wait 24 hours, and then they will move you up the line if it still doesn't work--then make you wait at least a day again. It's all very annoying, but in the end they will then send you the simcard for the other provider. I've ordered 6 of these phones and also one of the LG 840G (also got that with a T-Mobile chip). If you are transferring a number, they will cut off that other phone nearly immediately (despite what they say). My mother's phone took a week to get it working despite having the right sim card, but my husband's transferred and worked within 24 hours. Are you interested in being able to log in to a router to access the internet? If so, this one doesn't do that but the 840G does. I ended up giving this phone to my daughter because of that and getting the 840. In the end, I love both the phones. They aren't smart phones but they do what I need them to do within my price range. My husband, 2 kids, and I all have tracfones and it averages out that we pay less than $10 a month in total. You can't beat that if you are a light to moderate user. The deals Shopcells (or something like that) has with the minutes they offer for a year/6months are great. If you add on minutes later it is cumulative, the days as well as the minutes roll over as long as it's active.

That depends on how many minutes you buy. When you buy this phone, (as far as I know) no matter where you buy it, it comes with triple minutes for life. If you mean, how many free minutes per month, you only get free minutes if you qualify for Safelink Wireless. You are eligible for that if you are on Medicaid or other form of public assistance (Check their website). In which case you can get a free phone (usually a real cheapy cheap phone) and 250 free talk and text minutes per month (maybe data too but I don't know for sure). See: https://www.safelinkwireless.com. There are other programs like that as well, Assurance Wireless for one. Otherwise you must purchase minutes. Either at a retail store that sell phones and/or cards, such as CVS, or at http://www.tracfone.com. As for the phone, I like it... but I think that mine is a refurbished phone, which I did not see in the advertisment on Amazon.com. Also keep in mind, if you have a problem with the phone, LG will NOT help you. You have to contact Tracfone, which anybody who's had to, knows, is like getting technical assistance from a peanut shell.
