They only charge .3 units to send a text and 0 to receive. Many NEW Tracfone models cost .5 send and .5 to receive. So 3 sends, and 3 potential receives, for less than ONE send and receive... $$$!!!

If you have the double minute card installed, by adding a 200 minute card each call will cost you 10 cents per minute. Plus, there are bonus codes you can use when adding minutes to your phone that will give you additional free minutes. Another way Tracfone is better is that your minutes last longer before expiration, useful if you talk infrequently. Which is the point of the year cards. If all you need for the year is 800 minutes (plus an additional 200 minutes if you use a code) it makes no sense to buy 4 200 minutes cards, which you would have to do to get a year of service, since it would cost you an extra $60. Because of Tracfone's greater amount of airtime for your minutes and the bonus codes, its the better way to go.

Exact same company, exact same service. Just sign up with Net10, pay 10 cents per minute ($15 per month minimum) and quit playing all the games with the Tracfone gimmicks. The Tracfone brand is just marketed towards the upscale areas of the country by a Brazilian Telco reselling bulk minutes from the major carriers. Its all Net10, anyway. Why pay more just for the "Brand Name"?? Com’on people…Tracfone=Net10. Exact same company, exact same service.

The only thing you could get for $140 was a double minutes for life card plus 800 minutes (800 straight up, not doubled). Also, the $50 double minutes card is doubles minutes FOR LIFE. I also don't see this special on the Tracfone website now. Clearly, whatamimissing, this special was not available on the Tracfone website when this article was written — which was back in August.
