Tracfone is a simple Cost Per Minute prepaid cell phone company.


To begin with you will buy a Tracfone and a Tracfone Card. You can only use a Tracfone Cell phone for Tracfone prepaid service, you cannot use a Verizon, At&t, T-Mobile, Alltel, Net10 or any other phone with Tracfone Service.

Next you will have to Activate your Tracfone wireless phone. You can do this by going to the Tracfone website or by calling Tracfone on a different phone. This can take up to ten minutes.

You will have to type in some numbers into your phone and then it is active. It is really easy.

Adding a Tracfone Card is even easier. You can add Tracfone units directly from the phone or from the Tracfone website. You will add the 15 digit PIN code into your phone.

You always want to check for a Bonus code when you are adding a Tracfone card. Bonus Codes are a five digit number that you enter while adding a card to your phone.. Check out the Tracfone Bonus Codes.

For instance if you have 20 minutes and 60 days left on your Tracfone and you add a 120 minute phone card you will end up with 140 minutes and 150 days left. With Double Minutes it would be 260 units (2+120+120) and 150 days of service.
