what is the difference between this with 90 days and just buying airtime?

When you active a phone card they add minutes of phone time and days of service to your account. When either your phone time or days of service run out your service terminates. For example if you buy a card with 200 minutes of phone time and 90 days of service and make on 5 minute phone call then put the phone in a drawer for 90 days your service will terminate you will loose the remaining phone time.

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.

Everytime you buy airtime you get 90 days more service. It doesn't matter how much time you buy, you will get 90 more days of service. I think tracfone now sells data minutes; and they may not some with days of service.

Look at the days on your phone and the 90 will be added to it which gives you more time, to my knowledge, to use the phone under the guidelines of Tracfone. The minutes give you air time. However, I would go to ask.com or contact tracfone directly to be sure.

Don't quote me on this, but I believe the default is 90 days. That is how our unit came when purchased recently. You can find bundles w/ a longer covered period, but they usually state that in the description.

I honestly don't recommend it because it's not truly unlimited for as long as you own it. it does expire then you'll be stuck buying another one AGAIN! I have a lot of problem with it freezing up for hours or days sometimes. the channels are not guaranteed and have changed on me. some have been eliminated :-(I also noticed that sometimes the channels are simply not available to watch. In my opinion, it was not worth the price. I heard zaap is better and less problems so that's what I will try next.

Yes you do. And it can get expensive. Beware. They will give you a deal for 6 months and you sign to automatic 1 year renewals unless you cancel BEFORE it takes effect. Frankly their programming stinks also. I usually don't even listen to it now when they have a free week. I bought a soundfly from Amazon and just used mp3 files from my CD collection and have a better choice of music anyway. I LOVE the soundfly. I HATE XM after Sirius destroyed it.

Yes, many thanks for the hot tip, TV Guy. I too got my email discount which is good for 48 hours. I think I'll wait to see what Amazon does on Friday since I'd rather have the enhanced delivery and 36-month financing. If they don't offer a competitive price I'll be hitting the place order button with Vann's Friday morning.

technicals-- will change FAST month to month..any unit runs and at only about 10 bucks in cash money using the COUPONS, which expire 90 days after issue but in reality 60 days after receipt. Retailers use the coupons like credit card entries which means the new gen crooks buy a unit with a credit card, use the coupon and then return the convertor for a extra 40.00 that goes right back on their CC account.. just like free cash!!! Philco has the best tested video and audio but not through cable out.. use the RCA video and audio composite for best result. DON'T wait too long to apply for coupons.. The Federal money allocated is not going to be there forever. Get yours now, have your CATV neighbor apply fo his later this year(he will then give to you) I got my Philco at my local Meijer store under 50 .. Watch out for Online on these the ship can eat you up- remember its only 10 buck cash out of your pocket bought locally.. be patient.

During the Christmas season, the normal 30 day guarantee has been extended through January 31st. I saw the same price drop, called customer service and they immediately credited my credit card. They will credit as many times as it drops during the period! Just be sure the person understands you correctly, as they actually started out crediting me only $16 due to the fact that I was given credit for the free Harmony remote. Honest error on their part, and we got it corrected right away, but check your billing to be sure it is correct.

This is in response to lit chick who already has a TiVo with a lifetime subscription and is thinking of getting a dual tuner. I think you would be better off buying from a retailer like Amazon. Stay tuned for the rebate stipulations which are supposed to bring the net price of the box down to $99. If the prepaid fees to qualify for the rebate are $155 (as they were in the past), at $6.95 per month the prepayment will cover your first 22 months of service. Thus, for about the price of the one-year package, you will instead get 22 months of service because of the multi-service discount.

Its exactly the same as when you buy a tracfone from a store. You can activate it online or by calling tracfone. You don't need to buy extra airtime when you buy the phone, because when I activated mine, I received over 300 free minutes which wasn't even mentioned in the description, but I guess I was just lucky. But my s390g was activated online in less than 15 minutes. Good luck

There is a one-time fee for buying the Roku, but then it will show you both free and paid channels. Any paid channels are per month or per use, depending on which ones you pick. Things like Netflix are per month, same as if you were watching on your PC.

You buy airtime (30 or 90 days, one year) and minutes and you're good to go. They have plans if you want them. Check out their website tracfone.com for details.

If I buy 90 day plan and the minutes, data, text is not used in 90 days, does it roll over or is it lost?

playon.tv - lifetime subscription sale right now 39.99, or 59.99 with the Roku LT included (plus 9.99 shipping). Normally both are 89.99

the gigs expire 30 days from when first bought. ie... if you bought time on 3/20 then it would expire on 4/20. And web browsing was not unlimited. That part was hard to keep reasonable. Usually lasted me 2-3 weeks and I had to add more $$$ before my end time.

I'm in a similar situation friendlyherb. I don't have/want cable. The tv I now have is a relatively new Samsung analog tv (with separate antenna on top).I ordered the DTV converter box for the coupon several weeks ago(my reciept stated it would be in mailed out 1-2-09 and should arrive in nlt 10 days). So far I have not recieved the 2 ordered through the mails (stolen in the mails or never sent).bottomline: I'll take my chances with the converter box with/without a coupon, then go from there. I'll wait to see how all this analog-to-digital nonsense plays out first. If i go without a tv in the interim so be it. Probably better for my mental health anyway.

Spring for Amazon Prime. At $99/a year - it is cheaper than Netflix and it gives you a semi-equivalent Amazon Prime Instant Video, Prime music streaming and free 2 day shipping on anything which Amazon labels with the Prime logo. So many things qualify for Prime shipping. Also, you can "gift" the Prime shipping to a certain number of family members (I think it is 3, but don't recall offhand). They won't get the free video and movie streaming but they will <3 you for free 2-day shipping. Basically, it is worth it and it will spoil you so that you have trouble shopping online anywhere that has slow and/or expensive shipping. :P Best of luck to you! :-) Spring for Amazon Prime.

I too have rarely seen any discounts on lifetime service. I suggest "liking" Tivo on Facebook and subscribing to their emails so you can catch the deals when they become available.
