I use T-Mobile Pay As You Go, which means I only buy the minutes. After you spend $100, your cost is only .09 per minute and the minutes last for one year. For my needs, it's the best deal going. As for the phone, it's a very nice "old school" slider phone. If there is one drawback it's that the headset and charger are the old Samsung M300 inputs rather than the new standard microUSB.

I'm sorry but I don't exactly know. Depending on who you're buying it from, you'll have to ask them. I live in the US so I'm not familiar with your carrier D:

Well, I didn't, when I first purchased mine. But I had to buy my minutes from Verizon. Worked quite well for a time; but now, since I quit using so many minutes, Verizon has arbitrarily (VERIZON HAS), change me to a "contract" basis and I have had no luck purchasing minutes like I used to. I call that a really bad business decision. So I agree with the folks that call it a "rip off". I spent over an hour on the phone with Verizon and the results = No Minutes available. Rip Off City!!!

It uses a micro sim card. Your carrier should have them, if not you may have to cut the one you already have

The Samsung T301G Slider phone advertised and sold by Amazon is serviced by "Tracfone" @ www.tracfone.com or call 1-800-867-7183. It is a PrePaid program where you buy a card for talk minutes and activation time (Turn-On Time). There are several card plans with different talk time and activation times that are tailored to meet most peoples needs. These prepaid card option formats can be changed by owner to other formats very easily at the end of each previously selected program. It is a very simple and cost effective way to manage a cell phone.

No it does not come with any minutes. When I signed up to order minutes through the phone (by giving them my credit card information) I got a 10 minute bonus. Otherwise, you have to buy minutes or purchase a card (you have a choice of minutes to buy on the cards).

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

I have this phone and I am not on a contract. I use simple mobile which can be purchased in a nearby phone store. It's a 30 day plan with internet & unlimited & text for $45 every 30 days. Hope this helps. Good luck

No. You have to buy your minutes. The Battery, Charger, Activation Card and Services Guide are already Included.

When you buy the phone get triple minutes, and I buy 60 minutes every three months and that's 180 minutes but it depends on how often you use your phone. Mine is not always in my hands and my minutes last me. You should figure out how much you are going to use your phone and texting uses less minutes. My phone cost me about $80 a year

You can activate the phone online at tracfone.com or call the number included with the phone. You can buy your first installment of minutes at the same time. You need the serial number on the red card in the package. Good luck.

You can text and talk. Plus, there is a browser I choose not to use because it is expensive and awkward. I chose this because of the slide out keyboard for texting. It is NOT a smartphone. It came with a TracFone minutes plan and THIS phone came with triple minutes. This means if I buy 200 minutes I get 600 minutes. TracFone has many ways you can buy your minutes. The beauty, for me, is not having that monthly phone bill. That said, I THINK TracFone has started a plan for those who want more sophisticated phones that need to receive data.

If u r only changing the phone then yes u can, minutes got nothing to do with the phone itself, but if ur changing cell phone carrier then, u have to check with the new carrier...

You buy minutes as you need them and no monthly plan is needed unless you want one. You can buy as little as $10 at a time or more if you want to. As far as minutes go, it works pretty much the same way as any other Tracfone except that the talk, text and data minutes are deducted separately. So if you text, the minutes will come off your text minutes only. Triple minutes on this phone makes a big difference.
